Description

Method for high-flux screening of sensitive phage in culture solution
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of biological detection, in particular to a method for screening sensitive phage in a culture solution at high flux.
Background
In the related art, no medicine is available due to the acquired medicine resistance of bacteria, the death rate of the infected person is improved, the course of disease and treatment time are prolonged, and the treatment cost is increased; the research and development speed of the new antibiotic medicine is far lower than that of bacterial medicine resistance, so that the new antibiotic therapy such as phage therapy is newly developed for solving the problems of bacterial medicine resistance and the like.
Phage is a virus which only infects bacteria, is rich in variety and wide in distribution, does not infect eukaryotic cells and is easy to genetically modify, and is an important force for resisting superbacteria in the 'post-antibiotic' era; tolerance by bacteria to phage infection is one of the major problems impeding successful phage treatment and is unavoidable during treatment. The production of phage-tolerant bacteria can be circumvented by different methods, most often by a combination of multiple phages. Selection of phages with different host ranges, commonly referred to as "phage cocktails", against different receptors of bacteria in a monotherapy formulation is effective in preventing the emergence of phage-resistant bacteria. Theoretically, the longer the phage inhibits bacterial growth, the lower the probability that phage tolerance will appear, the phage will clear the pathogen in a short period of time, and how to select the optimal combination among the many effective phages is the most important link before treatment. The traditional double-layer agar method for screening phage can sometimes take up to 48 hours to know the screening result due to different bacterial growth rates, and takes longer (more than 24 hours) to wait until phage resistant bacteria grow. The phage has the advantages of specific sterilization and no infection of human cells and normal flora, but also faces the bottleneck of narrow sterilization spectrum and easy tolerance of bacteria, and the prior phage matching technology cannot effectively solve the two bottlenecks at the same time.
Matching of appropriate phages is required prior to phage treatment. The commonly used method for matching phage is phage spotting, which involves spotting phage on a plate full of target bacteria by double-layer agar method, and selecting appropriate phage according to phage spotting. Phage with large plaques and clear are generally selected for treatment, if any, within the plaques, indicating that the phage is easily tolerated by bacteria, but the process is time consuming; plaque turbidity indicates that the target bacteria have some defense system. The method is suitable for matching a plurality of candidate phages and a plurality of target bacteria, and meanwhile, the titer of the phages can be easily judged through plaque forming units by continuously diluting and spotting phage liquid; in addition to plaque assays, phages can also be screened by liquid sterilization assays.
The most commonly used phage typing method at present is double-layer agar (DLA), namely, different phage spots are on a target bacterial plate, and the lytic power of phage at corresponding positions is judged by observing plaques. The method has the disadvantages of difficult high flux, difficult observation of bacterial tolerance, difficult observation of plaque and high cost on slow-growing bacteria, and the like. The real-time quantitative PCR technology is used for identifying infection by detecting the change of the copy number of phage nucleic acid, and has the defects of incapacity of judging tolerance, difficulty in high throughput, time consumption, high cost and the like because a primer probe is required to be designed and conditions are optimized for (almost) each phage. There are also methods for indirectly detecting the proliferation of phage, such as adenylate kinase and 5' Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), by measuring the enzyme released in the supernatant of the culture after the bacteria are lysed by the phage, which have high sensitivity and are also easy to high throughput for liquid culture methods. However, the method has the defects that the operation is complex, the real-time monitoring is difficult, the detection time window is narrow, the difference exists in different bacteria-phage combinations and the like.
The detection board is used for screening phage of zoonotic pathogenic bacteria according to the cracking effect of the phage obtained by screening on the zoonotic pathogenic bacteria to form a phage library of the zoonotic pathogenic bacteria; the detection plate also judges the effectiveness of the phage by crisscrossing the phage with the bacteria and observing whether bacteria are lysed at the intersection of the bacteria and the phage; however, the detection plate has the advantages of insignificant bacterial lysis observation and poor flux.
The related art also discloses a method for rapidly screening virulent phage, which comprises the steps of sample acquisition and phage acquisition, test bacterial activation and single colony preparation, and then cross streak inoculation is carried out on single bacterial colonies and phage, so as to screen phage with a lytic test strain. The method provided by the application can conveniently, rapidly and accurately screen the specific phage of the test bacteria, avoids the influence of adverse factors such as bacterial mutation and the like on screening of virulent phage, and is favorable for fully researching and excavating phage resources in nature. The method is prone to slipping off during operation resulting in contamination or mispositioning. These updates have attempted to improve solid screening methods to achieve or partially achieve high throughput, but the effect of achieving is still not ideal and still cannot break through the bottleneck that solid screening methods are not easily observable for bacterial resistance and are greatly affected by bacterial growth rate.
The related technology also discloses a phage PAP1 with high specificity to pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is separated from hospital sewage, is functionalized by utilizing tosyl activated magnetic beads, and establishes phage affinity strategy for separating and detecting the living pseudomonas aeruginosa. Target bacteria are identified through the tail fibers and the substrate of phage, and pseudomonas aeruginosa is captured on the magnetic beads. After a replication cycle of about 100 minutes, the progeny phage lyse the target bacteria and release intracellular adenosine triphosphate. And then, quantitatively detecting the pseudomonas aeruginosa by adopting a firefly luciferase-adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence system. However, this method has the following disadvantages: (1) complex operation: since ATP released by phage-lysed bacterial cells is detected, interference from uncleaved bacteria needs to be eliminated, and therefore, each detection requires centrifugation of the culture broth, mixing with substrate in another dedicated well plate, and performing luciferase luminescence detection. Therefore, the operation is complex, a certain volume is consumed for each detection, and real-time monitoring is not easy. (2) The detection time window is narrow, tolerance is difficult to judge, and standardization is difficult to realize: theoretically, the more obvious the phage sterilization effect is, the higher the ATP release amount is, but when bacteria in the culture solution are greatly reduced due to phage sterilization, the ATP level is reduced due to the reduction of the number of newly infected bacteria. Thus, the method requires detection before this time, with a narrow time window. And missing this window of time does not determine whether the lysis is poor, too good, or the bacteria are tolerating. Furthermore, even for the same bacteria, the time window is not uniform due to the different patterns of a part of the growth curves of different phage-bacterial strain interactions, and thus the method is difficult to standardize.
The above mentioned prior art has certain drawbacks, especially in view of the large size of phage library and difficulty in fast, accurate and efficient screening of the most suitable phage in situations where bacteria are easily tolerant to phage.

The screening principle of the sensitive phage in the embodiment of the application is as follows:
phages are a class of viruses that infect bacteria, and a typical infection process can be divided into three phases: infection stage, proliferation stage and maturation stage.
Infection stage: the first step in phage infection of a host bacterium is "adsorption", i.e., the tail of the phage adheres to the cell wall of the bacterium, and then the genetic material (nucleic acid) of the head is injected into the bacterium.
Proliferation stage: after the nucleic acid of the phage enters the bacterial cell, a series of changes are caused: phage gradually control the metabolism of bacterial cells. Phages inhibit on the one hand the synthesis of substances by the host bacteria themselves and on the other hand, by the enzymes and other substances of the host cells, replicate in large amounts the nucleic acids and proteins necessary for the composition of the phage and assemble into complete phage particles.
Maturation stage: after the progeny phage are assembled in a large quantity and mature, the lysozyme of the cell wall of the lytic bacteria encoded by the phage gradually increases to promote cell lysis, so that the progeny phage is released. After the progeny phage is released, neighboring bacterial cells are again infected, and next-generation phage is generated, and the process is repeated. Thus, by taking advantage of the properties of phage to infect, kill bacteria and replicate themselves, it can be applied to the treatment of bacterial infections.
In the embodiment of the application, throughPhage were incubated with bacteria and bacteria were detected at an optical density of 600nm (OD 600 ) Is shown in FIG. 1. In the embodiment of the application, the enzyme-labeled instrument is used for monitoring the phage-bacteria interaction in real time, so that various conditions, such as phage cocktail, phage-antibiotic combination and the like, can be comprehensively evaluated.
In addition, the condition that each phage is tolerant to bacteria can be distinguished in a short time (4-8 h) (compared with a double-layer agar method, more than 24h is generally required for generating tolerant bacteria in plaques on a flat plate), so that phages with long bacterial tolerance time can be rapidly selected for treatment, pathogenic bacteria can be killed in a short time, and phage tolerance bacteria are not generated.
In the embodiment of the application, the liquid method is used for screening effective phage, and for most of fast-growing bacteria (such as klebsiella pneumoniae, acinetobacter baumannii, escherichia coli, staphylococcus aureus and the like), the sterilization capability of phage can be observed in a short time (2-8 h, and the time is shorter than that of a double-layer agar method), and whether a certain phage is tolerated by the bacteria or not can be judged in 18h. The above criteria facilitate selection of the optimal therapeutic phage combination.
Example 1
The embodiment is a method for screening sensitive phage in a culture solution with high flux, which comprises the following steps:
s1, preparing a phage library:
phage (Acinetobacter baumannii phage) and original host bacteria liquid (Acinetobacter baumannii) are mixed in an LB culture medium with the volume fraction of 0.75% of agar (semi-solid) by a double-layer agar plate method, spread on a solid LB plate, and the upper semi-solid LB culture medium is placed in a 37 ℃ incubator after solidification.
After appearance of plaques as shown in FIG. 2, individual plaques were picked up in physiological saline and placed on a thermostatic shaker at 37℃for 4h with shaking at 200rpm, releasing phages. After the shaking, 5% chloroform was added to the phage-containing physiological saline, and the mixture was left to stand for 10 minutes after the shaking was completed, followed by sterilization. Centrifuging 10000g for 5min at 4deg.C, and sucking supernatant to obtain purified phage.
The purified phage was mixed with the corresponding host bacterial liquid in LB medium at a multiplicity of infection of 0.1 (multiplicity of infection, MOI), and cultured overnight (12 h) at a constant temperature of 37℃in a shaker at 200rpm, whereby the bacterial liquid was observed to be cloudy to clear and then cloudy (FIG. 3). Adding 5% chloroform into the amplified phage mixture, and sterilizing in the same manner to obtain phage solution with high titer>10 9 PFU/mL)。
And sequentially numbering the amplified phage liquid, and adding the phage liquid into a 96-well plate to obtain the prepared phage library.
S2, resuscitating bacteria and culturing bacterial liquid:
the stored strain to be detected (Acinetobacter baumannii) was inoculated on a plate by a three-zone streak method, and placed in an incubator at 37℃for resuscitative culture (shown in FIG. 4). After bacterial colonies grow up, the monoclonal colonies are picked up and inoculated into 5mL of LB medium, and cultured overnight at a constant temperature of 37 ℃ by shaking table at 200 rpm/min. The overnight bacterial liquid was transferred to 5mL of LB medium at a volume ratio of 1:100, and cultured until the logarithmic phase (OD) 600 0.4 to 0.8). Diluting the log phase bacterial liquid to OD by using fresh LB culture medium 600 The diluted bacterial solution was added to a 96-well plate at 200. Mu.L per well at 0.05.
S3, high-flux phage screening by a liquid method:
and (2) transferring 2.5 mu L/hole of the prepared phage library into the 96-well plate containing the bacterial liquid prepared in the step (S1) by a gun, additionally arranging a control group without adding phage, and placing the 96-well plate into an enzyme-labeled instrument after the operation is finished.
The conditions for the microplate reader were as follows: shaking for 5min at 37deg.C, standing for 5min as a period, and reading bacterial turbidity OD at the end time point every period 600 And (5) continuously monitoring.
By bacterial OD 600 To 0.5 is a criterion for determining the tolerance of the bacterium to the phage, and the time point is the tolerance time of the bacterium to the phage.
According to the data (only a part of representative data is shown in FIG. 5, A in FIG. 5 is a bacterial growth curve after phage addition of different Acinetobacter baumannii, B in FIG. 5 is a time ratio of tolerance of different Acinetobacter baumannii to different phages), the tolerance time of the same bacterium to different phages is different, and the tolerance time is mainly concentrated in 6h, 12h and 18h, and a very small part of the bacteria is after 24h, so that the monitoring end point of phage screening by a liquid method is 18h.
The time-to-tolerance ratios of the different Acinetobacter baumannii to their different phages are shown in Table 1. The bacteria used are from clinical samples of the patient.
TABLE 1 time to tolerance ratio of different Acinetobacter baumannii to their different phages
Definition of phage tolerance time for the above bacteria:
(1) Less than 6 hours is very tolerant (F, fast);
(2) Between 6h and 12h is a tolerogenic (M, medium);
(3) Between 12h and 18h is intolerable (S, slow);
(4) Greater than 18h is Extremely intolerant (ES).
S4, data analysis:
according to the absorbance continuously monitored by the enzyme labeling instrument, a growth curve of each hole bacterial liquid is drawn, the growth curve of an experimental group added with phage is superimposed and compared with that of a control group without phage, whether the phage added in each hole is effective or not and the time of the phage being tolerated by bacteria are analyzed (for example, figure 6), and the above information is counted and recorded.
In this example, the growth curves of bacteria after adding different Acinetobacter baumannii phages are shown in fig. 6, and the growth curves of bacteria can be inhibited within about 8 hours after adding Acinetobacter baumannii phage #1 (phase 1, green in color mode) and Acinetobacter baumannii phage #2 (phase 2, blue in color mode) to a control group (no phase, red in color mode) without adding phages, but after 8 hours, the bacteria of an experimental group added with phage #1 start to grow, which indicates that phage tolerance bacteria appear; while the experimental group added with phage #2 had no apparent bacterial growth at 8-48 hours, indicating that the phage was not easily tolerated by bacteria.
Example 2
The embodiment is a method for screening sensitive phage in a culture solution with high flux, which comprises the following steps:
s1, preparing a phage library:
mixing each bacteriophage (Acinetobacter baumannii bacteriophage) with original host bacteria liquid (Acinetobacter baumannii) by using a double-layer agar plate method, putting the mixed bacteriophage and the original host bacteria liquid (Acinetobacter baumannii) in an agar (semi-solid) LB culture medium with the volume fraction of 0.75%, spreading the mixed bacteriophage on a solid LB plate, solidifying an upper semi-solid LB culture medium, and placing the solidified upper semi-solid LB culture medium in a 37 ℃ incubator.
After appearance of plaques as shown in FIG. 2, individual plaques were picked up in physiological saline and placed on a thermostatic shaker at 37℃for 4h with shaking at 200rpm, releasing phages. After the shaking, 5% chloroform was added to the phage-containing physiological saline, and the mixture was left to stand for 10 minutes after the shaking was completed, followed by sterilization. Centrifuging 10000g for 5min at 4deg.C, and sucking supernatant to obtain purified phage.
The purified phage was mixed with the corresponding host bacterial liquid in LB medium at a multiplicity of infection of 0.1 (multiplicity of infection, MOI), and cultured overnight (12 h) at a constant temperature of 37℃in a shaker at 200rpm, so that the bacterial liquid was observed to be clear from turbidity to turbidity. Adding 5% chloroform into the amplified phage mixture, and sterilizing in the same manner to obtain phage solution with high titer>10 9 PFU/mL)。
And sequentially numbering the amplified phage liquid, and adding the phage liquid into a 96-well plate to obtain the prepared phage library.
S2, resuscitating bacteria and culturing bacterial liquid:
inoculating the strain to be detected (Acinetobacter baumannii) on a plate by a three-area streak method, and placing the plate in a 37 ℃ incubator for resuscitating culture. After bacterial colonies grow up, the monoclonal colonies are picked up and inoculated into 5mL of LB medium, and cultured overnight at a constant temperature of 37 ℃ by shaking table at 200 rpm/min. The overnight bacterial liquid was transferred to 5mL of LB medium at a volume ratio of 1:100, and cultured until the logarithmic phase (OD) 600 0.4 to 0.8). Fresh LB culture for log phase bacterial liquidDilution of the base to OD 600 The diluted bacterial solution was added to a 96-well plate at 200. Mu.L per well at 0.05.
S3, high-throughput screening phage combination by liquid method:
and (3) transferring 2.5 mu L/hole of the prepared phage library to a 96-well plate containing the bacterial liquid prepared in the step (S1) by a gun, wherein the ratio of different phages in the phage combination is 1:1, setting single phages as a control group (the example is shown in FIG. 7, the acinetobacter baumannii phages #1 and #2 are phage combinations), and placing the 96-well plate into an enzyme-labeled instrument after the operation is finished.
The conditions for the microplate reader were as follows: shaking for 5min at 37deg.C, standing for 5min as a period, and reading bacterial turbidity OD at the end time point every period 600 And (5) continuously monitoring.
By bacterial OD 600 To 0.5 is a criterion for determining the tolerance of the bacterium to the phage, and the time point is the tolerance time of the bacterium to the phage.
S4, data analysis:
according to the absorbance continuously monitored by the enzyme labeling instrument, the growth curve of each hole bacterial liquid is drawn, the growth curve of the experimental group added with phage combination is superimposed and compared with the growth curve of the control group added with single phage, whether each hole added phage combination is more effective than single phage or not is analyzed, the time of the phage combination being tolerated by bacteria is counted and recorded (see figure 7).
In the embodiment, the growth curve of the bacteria after the combination of the Acinetobacter baumannii phages is shown in fig. 7, and after about 10 hours, the bacteria start to grow in a single phage control group phage#2, which indicates that phage tolerance bacteria appear; control phage #1 tolerated more rapidly and bacteria began to grow after about 2 hours. The addition of the acinetobacter baumannii phage combination (phage #1+ # 2) was effective in inhibiting bacterial growth within 24 hours, indicating that the phage combination was less tolerant to bacteria.
Example 3

The purified phage was mixed with the corresponding host bacterial liquid in LB medium at a multiplicity of infection of 0.1 (multiplicity of infection, MOI), and cultured overnight (12 h) at a constant temperature of 37℃in a shaker at 200rpm, so that the bacterial liquid was observed to be clear from turbidity to turbidity. Adding 5% chloroform into the amplified phage mixture, and sterilizing in the same manner to obtain phage solution with high titer>10 9 PFU/mL)。
And sequentially numbering the amplified phage liquid, and adding the phage liquid into a 96-well plate to obtain the prepared phage library.
S2, resuscitating bacteria and culturing bacterial liquid:
inoculating the strain to be detected (Klebsiella pneumoniae) on a plate by a three-area streak method, and placing the plate in a 37 ℃ incubator for resuscitating culture. After bacterial colonies grow up, the monoclonal colonies are picked up and inoculated into 5mL of LB medium, and cultured overnight at a constant temperature of 37 ℃ by shaking table at 200 rpm/min. The overnight bacterial liquid was transferred to 5mL of LB medium at a volume ratio of 1:100, and cultured until the logarithmic phase (OD) 600 0.4 to 0.8). Diluting the log phase bacterial liquid to OD by using fresh LB culture medium 600 The diluted bacterial solution was added to a 96-well plate at 200. Mu.L per well at 0.05.
S3, high-flux phage screening by a liquid method:
and (2) transferring 2.5 mu L/hole of the prepared phage library into the 96-well plate containing the bacterial liquid prepared in the step (S1) by a gun, additionally arranging a control group without adding phage and antibiotics, and placing the 96-well plate into an enzyme-labeled instrument after the operation is finished.
The conditions for the microplate reader were as follows: shaking for 5min at 37deg.C, standing for 5min as a period, and reading bacterial turbidity OD at the end time point every period 600 And (5) continuously monitoring.
By bacterial OD 600 To 0.5 is a criterion for determining the tolerance of the bacterium to the phage, and the time point is the tolerance time of the bacterium to the phage.
S4, data analysis:
according to the absorbance continuously monitored by an enzyme-labeled instrument, a growth curve of each pore fungus liquid is drawn, an experimental group growth curve added with phage and antibiotics simultaneously is superimposed and compared with a control group growth curve added with phage or antibiotics only, whether the phage added in each pore is effective or not and the time of the phage being tolerated by bacteria are analyzed (see fig. 8, control group in fig. 8 is no phage and amikacin, phase group is phage added group, amikacin is amikacin added (concentration is 20 mug/mL), phase+amikacin group is phage added and amikacin added (concentration is 20 mug/mL)), and the above information is counted and recorded. In the embodiment, the growth curve of the bacteria after the Klebsiella pneumoniae phage and amikacin are added for combined use is shown in figure 8, and phage tolerance bacteria and bacteria start to grow after about 5 hours of single Klebsiella pneumoniae phage; amikacin alone also began to appear as resistant bacteria after about 9 hours. However, the addition of phage and amikacin can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria within 24 hours, which proves that the combination of phage and antibiotics can well solve the problem of phage tolerant bacteria.
In the embodiment of the application, the aim of phage high-flux screening is realized by utilizing a plurality of enzyme-labeled instruments, the liquid method is easy to realize high flux in the embodiment of the application, the liquid method is easy to integrate into an automatic system such as a pipetting workstation and the like, and the bacterial quantity change sensitivity is far higher than that of the plaque observed by naked eyes through the OD value monitoring, so that the phage sterilization effect can be judged in the shortest 2 hours.
In the embodiment of the application, the bacteriostasis effect of the phage is easily judged by monitoring the bacterial growth curve in real time through the descending of the curve, and the time for generating tolerance to the phage and timing the generation of the tolerance is judged when the bacterial growth curve is on the way again, in theory, the later the time, the less easy the phage to induce the target bacterial tolerance can be reflected. For some lytic phages that are susceptible to bacterial tolerance (in particular to tolerance within 8 hours), use is not recommended, or when there is no other option, the phages need to be used in combination with a "two-wire" lytic phage against which bacterial tolerance is to occur, thereby excluding lytic phages that are susceptible to induction of bacterial tolerance.
The most commonly used instruments and consumables of the microbiology laboratory, clinical laboratory, etc. associated with phage therapy are used in embodiments of the present application. For example, the bacterial growth monitoring enzyme-labeled instrument can be applied to the equipment such as BioTek 800Tsi, ELx808 and the like, and has the advantages of high laboratory configuration rate, simple operation and convenient use, and is matched with an automatic growth curve analysis system. In the embodiment of the application, the conventional 96-well cell culture plate is used, the price is economical, customization is not needed, and a pipetting workstation or a manual gun can be used for filling liquid. The use and clinical application of different automation degrees are convenient.
The application has the advantage that the application monitors the bacterial turbidity OD in real time in the culture solution 600 By bacterial turbidity OD 600 Reflecting the bactericidal effect of the phage and the tolerance of the bacteria to the phage, thereby screening out the phage which has the most obvious inhibition on the bacterial growth and does not generate tolerance for a long time; the method is also suitable for a bacterial growth monitoring enzyme-labeled instrument commonly used in clinic (such as 800Tsi and ELx808 of BioTek), and the matched phage can simultaneously meet the two targets of strong cracking property and difficult tolerance of target bacteria, and is closest to the effect of the phage on bacteria in a real scene, thereby having wide application prospect.
