TaqMan MGB探针实时荧光定量PCR快速检测布鲁氏菌

摘要

The new generation TaqMan Minor Groove Binding (MGB) probe approach was used to develop the specific and sensitive real time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RTFQ-PCR) assay for rapid detecting Brucella in our study. The specific primers and probe for TaqMan MGB-probe based RTFQ-PCR were designed based on 16S rRNA sequence of genus Brucella. A TaqMan MGB-probe based RTFQ-PCR assay was established, and its specificity, sensitivity and stability were assessed. Then, the established TaqMan MGB-probe based RTFQ-PCR assay was applied to detect Brucella in 773 animal specimens during 2008 - 2010, and compared with conventional PCR assay. The specificity of this established TaqMan MGB-probe based RTFQ-PCR was high and there were no cross-reactivity with Yersinia enterocolitica , Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, Salmonella enterica, Escherichia colt, Pseudomonasaeruginosa , Campylobacter jejuni, and Clostridium piliforme. The correlation coefficient and slope value of standard curve were 0. 999 and -3. 301 respectively and the efficiency of TaqMan MGB-probe based RTFQ-PCR was 100.872%. The TaqMan MGB-probe based RTFQ-PCR assay was able to accurately detect Brucella DNA from brucellosis-positive specimens. The detection limit for this assay was 9. 3 copies, and the sensitivity of this assay was 100-fold higher than conventional PCR assay. The TaqMan MGB-probe based RTFQ-PCR was preformed to detect Brucella in 773 animal specimens, and a total of 53 specimens were positive for Brucella. However, there was only 37 specimens were positive by conventional PCR. The results showed that TaqMan MGB-probe based RTFQ-PCR for Brucella was more sensitive than conventional PCR assay, and it could detect Brucella DNA from animal specimens directly, and detection time is only 2 hours. To the knowledge of the authors, this is the first TaqMan MGB-probe based RTFQ-PCR assay for the direct detection of Brucella in animal specimens. The technique appears to be sufficiently adaptable to meet the needs of rapid detecting requirementsto identify infectious pathogens.%目的 利用新一代TaqMan MGB探针技术,建立特异敏感的实时荧光定量PCR方法,用于布鲁氏菌的快速检测.方法 针对布鲁氏菌基因组中16S rRNA序列设计特异性引物和探针,建立一套基于TaqMan MGB探针技术的实时荧光定量PCR方法,验证方法的特异性、敏感性和稳定性,对2008- 2010年期间采集的773份动物样本中的布鲁氏菌进行检测,并与普通PCR方法进行比较分析.结果 建立的TaqMan MGB探针实时荧光定量PCR方法对布鲁氏菌的检测具有高度的特异性,对小肠结肠耶尔森菌、假结核耶尔森菌、肠炎沙门氏菌、大肠埃希菌、铜绿假单胞菌、空肠弯曲菌、泰泽氏菌均无交叉反应.生成的标准曲线的相关系数为0.999,斜率为-3.301,TaqMan MGB探针实时荧光定量PCR效率为100.872％.TaqMan MGB探针实时荧光定量PCR能够准确地从布鲁氏菌阳性样本中检测到布鲁氏菌DNA,最低能够检测到的布鲁氏菌数量为9.3拷贝,比常规PCR方法的灵敏度高100倍.对773份动物样本进行检测,结果TaqMan MGB探针实时荧光定量PCR能检出53份布鲁氏菌阳性样本,而常规PCR只检出37份阳性.结果显示,TaqMan MGB探针实时荧光定量PCR方法比常规PCR方法更敏感,能够直接从动物样本中检出布鲁氏菌DNA,检测时间仅为2h.结论 本研究首次建立了直接用于检测动物样本中布鲁氏菌的TaqMan MGB探针实时荧光定量PCR方法,该技术适用于传染性病原体的快速检测与鉴定.
