In one embodiment, in the method for the invention, phage dilution gradient suspension dilutes with 10 times of gradients.
In one embodiment, in the method for the invention, cultivate Enterobacter sakazakii, the Enterobacter sakazakii bacteria suspension of preparation logarithmic phase to logarithmic phase.In the step C of aforesaid method of the present invention, the Enterobacter sakazakii nutrient solution can be the nutrient solution of any suitable cultivation Enterobacter sakazakii.In one embodiment, in the method for the invention, the Enterobacter sakazakii nutrient solution is the brain heart infusion nutrient solution.
In one embodiment, in the step C of aforesaid method of the present invention, the Enterobacter sakazakii nutrient solution is the brain heart infusion nutrient solution that contains the Enterobacter sakazaii colour development substrate.Preferably, described Enterobacter sakazaii colour development substrate is X-α-D-glucopyranoside.
In one embodiment, in the step C of aforesaid method of the present invention, be X-axis with the minute, be that Y-axis is made growth curve with the absorption value, and, determine tiring of phage according to the phage concentration gradient situation that precipitous sigmoid growth curve occurs.
In a preferred embodiment, the method for rapid detection titer of bacteriophage of Enterobacter sakazakii of the present invention comprises the steps:
A. ten times of dilution phage solutions obtain phage concentration gradient suspension;
B. Enterobacter sakazakii is cultured to logarithmic phase, Enterobacter sakazakii is seeded in the brain heart infusion nutrient solution, cultivated 6~8 hours;
The brain heart infusion nutrient solution that C. will contain Enterobacter sakazaii colour development substrate X-α-D-glucopyranoside adds microwell plate; The Enterobacter sakazakii bacteria suspension of the logarithmic phase among the step B is added microwell plate; Then the phage gradient suspension in the steps A is added microwell plate;

According to the concentration of the phage that the rugged bacillus growth curve of precipitous type slope occurs, determine tiring of phage.
Among the step B of measuring method of the present invention, Enterobacter sakazakii is cultivated logarithmic phase, in this vegetative period, Enterobacter sakazakii is to phage-sensitive degree height, and experiment effect is obvious.Generally speaking, Enterobacter sakazakii is seeded in the brain heart infusion nutrient solution, 36 ℃ of cultivations, and 2~10 hours is logarithmic phase, wherein 6~8 hours for more preferably.
Among the step C of measuring method of the present invention, the Enterobacter sakazaii colour development substrate is X-α-D-glucopyranoside (X-α-D-glucopyranoside), because of Enterobacter sakazakii has specific alpha-D-glucose glycosides enzymic activity, therefore, in the Enterobacter sakazakii process of growth, this activity can make chromogenic substrate decompose generation blue-greenish colour product, thereby makes nutrient solution by the colourless blue-greenish colour that becomes, and the quantity of the glaucous depth and Enterobacter sakazakii is proportional within the specific limits.
In a preferred embodiment, in step C, the contrast of use comprises positive control, blank.Positive control is to replace phage with sterilized water; Blank is to replace the Enterobacter sakazakii bacteria suspension with sterilized water.
In the step D of method of the present invention, growth curve is an X-axis with the minute, is Y-axis with the absorption value.In one embodiment of the invention, adopted the dynamics analysis functionality of SkanItso software of the Multiskanspectrum microplate reader of Termo company to make growth curve.Growth curve can be divided into three types: precipitous type, osculant, high order smooth pattern.Precipitous type: lag phase is short, and logarithmic phase linearly rises basically, maintains high absorption value stationary phase, and longer duration; Osculant: lag phase is long, and logarithmic phase slowly rises, and maintains lower absorption value stationary phase; High order smooth pattern: entire curve is pressed close to X-axis linearly type or parabolic type, keeps lower absorption value always.Positive control and the test hole that does not contain phage are precipitous sigmoid growth curve, because positive control and do not contain that Enterobacter sakazakii can not be subjected to phage splitting in the test hole of phage, thereby growth along with the time, thalline is constantly bred, its glucosidase activity constantly acts on chromogenic substrate, thereby make the nutrient solution color constantly deepen, the absorption value that records constantly raises, and is precipitous sigmoid growth curve.The test hole that contains phage is osculant or high order smooth pattern growth curve.The phagocytosis scale of construction for a long time, a large amount of timely cracking of phage Enterobacter sakazakii, thereby make Enterobacter sakazakii can't breed at all, be not enough to produce enough glucosidase activity effect chromogenic substrates and make the nutrient solution variable color, so the absorption value that records can't raise, so growth curve is a high order smooth pattern.The phagocytosis scale of construction after a little while, some Enterobacter sakazakiis of phagocytosis physical efficiency cracking, but still there are some Enterobacter sakazakiis to be bred, make nutrient solution colour-change lentamente so can produce certain glucosidase activity effect chromogenic substrate, so the absorption value that records slowly rises, so growth curve is the osculant growth curve.Blank is not because add Enterobacter sakazakii, so should be a baseline.
In the measuring method of the present invention, it is as follows to calculate the principle of tiring.After with the phage gradient dilution, add in the test hole, initial several test hole pnagus medius concentration height, so its growth curve is a high order smooth pattern; Along with testing tube pnagus medius concentration constantly reduces, so its growth curve gradually becomes osculant; When phage is diluted to concentration when very low, do not had phage in the testing tube, so its growth curve becomes precipitous type gradually.In the test hole of gradient dilution, the extent of dilution of precipitous sigmoid growth curve test hole before appears, and be the minimum extent of dilution of phage to host's generation effect, then this test hole pnagus medius number is at least 1, and its concentration is about 1/300 μ L.Can calculate tiring of phage stoste in view of the above.
The invention provides a kind of method for quick of titer of bacteriophage of Enterobacter sakazakii, it is to suppress the growing state of Enterobacter sakazakii in the brain heart infusion nutrient solution by phage, and quantitatively bacteriophage of Enterobacter sakazakii tires.
The present invention is suitable for the rapid determination of titer of bacteriophage of Enterobacter sakazakii, as finding that phage titer is low, then needs to recover the activity of phage, thereby is used for food better, particularly the biological control of milk-product process for processing environment.
According to the measuring method of titer of bacteriophage of Enterobacter sakazakii of the present invention, can be with this method summary:---the logarithmic phase Enterobacter sakazakii is cultivated, and---phage and Enterobacter sakazakii add microwell plate---real time scan mensuration---and determine titer of bacteriophage of Enterobacter sakazakii the preparation of phage concentration gradient suspension.As find that phage titer is low, then need to recover the activity of phage, thereby be used for food better, particularly the biological control of milk-product process for processing environment.After with the phage gradient dilution, add in the test hole, initial several test hole pnagus medius concentration height, so its growth curve is a high order smooth pattern; Along with testing tube pnagus medius concentration constantly reduces, so its growth curve gradually becomes osculant; When phage is diluted to concentration when very low, do not had phage in the testing tube, so its growth curve becomes precipitous type gradually.In the test hole of gradient dilution, the extent of dilution of precipitous sigmoid growth curve test hole before appears, and be the minimum extent of dilution of phage to host's generation effect, then this test hole pnagus medius number is at least 1, and its concentration is about 1/300 μ L.Can calculate tiring of phage stoste in view of the above.

Comparative example
The present inventor also uses the double-layer plate method to measure the phage titer of the phage of above preparation to the Enterobacter sakazakii of above preparation, to compare with method of the present invention.
The double-layer plate method concrete operations of being adopted are as follows:
5~10ml LB inoculation of medium Enterobacter sakazakii, cultivated 8~12 hours, until logarithmic growth (OD in mid-term
600Greater than 0.5).
The preparation brain heart infusion agar, the sterilization back is fallen dull and stereotyped, preparation bottom substratum.Each dull and stereotyped about 10~15ml substratum (is unfavorable for bacterial growth very little; The too many plaque that influences is observed).
Preparation top layer brain heart infusion agar divides to be filled in the sterile culture pipe, every pipe 2700ml, and 45 ℃ of water-baths are standby, and (temperature is too high, influences phage and bacterial activity; The too low culture medium solidifying of temperature is too fast, and is easily inhomogeneous, influences the result and observes).
With brain heart infusion nutrient solution 10 doubling dilution phages.New application of sample rifle head is all used in each dilution instead, uses aerosol to intercept the rifle head to avoid crossed contamination.
The Enterobacter sakazakii bacteria suspension branch of logarithmic phase is filled in the little finger of toe pipe every pipe 200 μ l.The phage adding of doubling dilution is contained in the centrifuge tube, only add a kind of diluent 100 μ l in the centrifuge tube, quick vortex, incubated at room 1min~5min.
Be transferred in the top layer brain heart infusion agar of 45 ℃ of water-baths amounting to 300 μ l mixed solutions, the vortex mixing is poured onto bottom platform immediately fast, and light and slow swing plate makes top layer substratum uniform distribution.
Cool off dull and stereotyped 5min, be inverted overnight incubation for 37 ℃.
Plaque count is that about 100 plate is as the criterion with the plaque number, and the plaque number multiply by extent of dilution can obtain every phage titer, the pfu of unit.
The double-layer plate method of more than carrying out, each experiment repeats more than 3 times.
The result difference that the double-layer plate method obtains is bigger, and repeatedly plaque is not observed in experiment, and the phage that the experimental result of observing plaque is also measured well below the method for utilizing microplate reader used in the present invention is to the order of magnitude of tiring of the rugged bacillus of slope.
The double-layer plate method has higher requirements to operation, and inexperience, unskilled operator are difficult to obtain rational experimental result.
Compared with prior art, the advantage that has of the present invention is: can measure titer of bacteriophage of Enterobacter sakazakii simply, fast and efficiently.
Though specific embodiments of the present invention is described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that under the prerequisite that does not depart from scope of the present invention or spirit and can carry out multiple change and modification to the present invention.Thereby, this invention is intended to contain all these changes and modification of dropping in appended claims book and the coordinator scope thereof.
