Streptococcus mutans can corrode by acidic substances produced by metabolism, leading to the occurrence of dental caries, and has been widely studied in the field of oral medicine.
However, the current method for detecting streptococcus mutans is single, and requires expensive instruments and high-precision operation, for example, the current PCR technology mainly used for detecting streptococcus mutans is complex to operate, and the required equipment is complex and expensive, and the detection cost is high. Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop a method for detecting Streptococcus mutans under ordinary culture conditions, which does not require the use of too many complicated and expensive instruments, is relatively simple to operate, and is inexpensive to detect.
In addition, although the PCR technique has the characteristics of high detection sensitivity and high specificity, it also amplifies detection errors, and thus inaccurate results such as false positives are likely to occur, so that it is also necessary to supplement other detection techniques to ensure the accuracy of detection results.
The quorum sensing system is a relatively economic and simple detection method, but is not applied to the detection of streptococcus mutans at present, no suitable quorum sensing system element is found, and how to construct the quorum sensing system is still a mystery group, and the implementation is difficult. Thus, no effective method has been found to date which can be used to detect S.mutans in a complementary manner.

Inoculating 1mL of bacterial liquid into a conical flask containing 100mL of LB culture medium, shaking and culturing for 2-3 h at 37 ℃, measuring an OD600 value every 20min after culturing for 2h to detect the growth condition of the culture, immediately carrying out ice bath on the conical flask for 15min when the OD600 value reaches 0.5-0.6, and cooling the culture to 0 ℃. Bacteria were transferred aseptically to a sterile, ice-precooled 50mL centrifuge tube. The cells were recovered by centrifugation at 4000r/min for 10min at 4 ℃. The culture solution was poured out, and the centrifuge tube was placed on a filter paper for 1min to drain the last residual culture solution. The cells were resuspended in approximately 20mL (10 mL per tube) of ice-chilled 0.1mol/L CaCl2 solution (the resuspension procedure was light) and incubated in ice for 30 min. The cells were recovered by centrifugation at 4000r/min for 10min at 4 ℃. The supernatant was discarded and placed on filter paper for 1min to drain the last remaining liquid. Then, 4mL of 0.1mol/L CaCl2 solution precooled with ice was added to the suspension and the cells were resuspended by gentle shaking. And (3) subpackaging the competent cells into Eppendorf tubes, adding glycerol preservation solution with the volume of 30% into each 200 mu L, and placing the tubes in a refrigerator at the temperature of-80 ℃ for freezing and storing for later use.

Wherein Blank is shown in the figure, and Control is a negative Control added with sterile water, namely CSP concentration is 0.
As is apparent from the results in the figure, when the concentration of CSP reached 0.5mg/ml, the comD-CSP complex bound the phosphorylation of comE, the phosphorylated comE and the nlmC promoter, thereby initiating the expression of the downstream fluorescent gene GFP. The fluorescence intensity gradually increased with the time of incubation, and after 24 hours, there was a significant difference in fluorescence intensity. The result shows that the streptococcus mutans detection method based on the quorum sensing system is successfully established, plays a detection function, can be used for detecting streptococcus mutans, and is activated when the CSP concentration reaches above 0.5mg/mL, and promotes the nlmC promoter to up-regulate the expression of the up-regulated fluorescent gene sfGFP.

The detection results are shown in FIG. 6, wherein the first four are test samples of the engineering strain and the second two are empty bacteria control samples from left to right in the figure. The results in the figure clearly show that the engineering bacteria are obviously expressed under an ultraviolet lamp and excited to emit fluorescence; the engineering bacteria containing the streptococcus mutans quorum sensing system can realize specific identification response to the CSP, so that specific detection to the streptococcus mutans is realized.
By combining the embodiment, the detection result and the comparison test, the detection method can specifically identify and detect the streptococcus mutans by detecting the characteristic of the CSP concentration, so as to predict the concentration and the quantity of the streptococcus mutans, avoid generating false positive, ensure the accuracy of the result, have simple and convenient operation and low detection cost, are suitable for being applied to the detection of the decayed tooth, and realize the evaluation of the health condition of the tooth.

Claims (10)

1. A detection method of streptococcus mutans based on a quorum sensing system is characterized by comprising the following steps: the detection method is established based on a quorum sensing system, and elements of the sensing system comprise a gene PelB-comD compounded by a signal peptide of escherichia coli and a histidine kinase receptor membrane protein gene, an intracellular response regulatory protein gene comE, and a gene nlmC-sfGFP of a promoter nlmC compounded with a green fluorescent signal reporter gene sfGFP under the regulation and activation of the comE;
the detection method carries out specific recognition response on a signal molecule CSP secreted and expressed by the streptococcus mutans through the induction system, and further detects the streptococcus mutans.
2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method comprises the following steps: the induction system recognizes concentration changes in response to the CSP through the genes comD, comE and nlmC.
3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method comprises the following steps: the nucleotide sequences of the PelB-comD, comE and nlmC-sfGFP are respectively shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. SEQ ID NO: 3. SEQ ID NO: 5, respectively.
4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method comprises the following steps: the amino acid sequence of the PelB-comD is shown as SEQ ID NO: 2, respectively.
5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method comprises the following steps: the amino acid sequence of the comE is shown as SEQ ID NO: 4, respectively.
6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method comprises the following steps: the method also comprises the construction of an expression vector, and the induction system is constructed on the expression vector.
7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the method comprises the following steps: the expression vector comprises a vector pET28a (+) -PelB-comD-comE-nlmC-sfGFP formed by PelB-comD, comE, nlmC and sfGFP.
8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the method comprises the following steps: the construction of genetic engineering bacteria is also included, and the induction system is connected to a pET28a (+) vector and is introduced into the genetic engineering bacteria; the genetic engineering bacteria enable a sensing system to respond and activate the expression of a downstream green fluorescent reporter gene by the recognition and combination of a signal molecule CSP which responds to the secretion and expression of the streptococcus mutans.
9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method comprises the following steps: the induction system is activated when the CSP concentration reaches above 0.5mg/mL, and the nlmC promoter is started to up-regulate the expression of the up-regulated fluorescent gene sfGFP.
10. The use of a quorum sensing system-based streptococcus mutans detection method according to any one of claims 1-9 in caries detection for assessing dental health.
