Description

Kit and method for detecting fungi based on micro-drop digital PCR technology
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of molecular biology detection, in particular to a kit and a method for detecting fungi based on a droplet type digital PCR technology.
Background
The current gold standard for mycology diagnosis is culture positive of blood or cerebrospinal fluid or discovery of fungi under a microscope. Although the fungus culture can clearly identify the pathogenic bacteria infected by the fungus and carry out the in vitro drug sensitivity test, the positive rate of the blood culture is low. 1, 3-beta-D-glucan is a fungal cell wall component that has been used to aid in the diagnosis of various fungal infections. Factors such as gauze, cotton balls, some antibiotic drugs, intravenous albumin or gamma globulin, plasma, tissue thromboplastin, etc. can sometimes cause the 1, 3-beta-D-glucan test (G test) to show false positive results. Galactomannan antigens are main components of aspergillus cell walls and are released by hyphae in the growth process of aspergillus, and a galactomannan antigen detection (GM) test mainly aims at aspergillus infection, but GM test results are also influenced by a plurality of factors, such as piperacillin sodium/tazobactam and the use of a large dose of hormone can cause false positive.
Eukaryotic microorganisms have three classes of ribosomal RNA (rRNA), including 5.8S rRNA, 18S rRNA, and 28S rRNA. The 18S rRNA gene is a DNA sequence encoding the small subunit of the eukaryotic ribosome, which has both conserved and variable regions. The conserved regions reflect the relationship between biological species, while the variable regions reflect species-to-species differences. The biological method for detecting fungi by utilizing the 18S rRNA conserved region has the conventional PCR technology and the real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR technology, the sensitivity of the technologies can be equal to or higher than that of blood culture, and the conventional PCR technology and the real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR technology have inherent limitations, such as the preparation of a standard product, the quantification through a standard curve and the like, and the accurate and precise quantification of the pathogen load capacity can not be realized.
