Description

Metabolic marker for detecting staphylococcus aureus blood flow infection and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of inspection medicine, in particular to a metabolic marker for detecting staphylococcus aureus blood flow infection and application thereof.
Background
Staphylococcus aureus (Staphylococcus aureus) is a common clinical pathogen, particularly in hospitals and other medical settings. Such gram positive bacteria can cause infections ranging from mild skin infections to severe blood flow infections such as sepsis and septic shock, and even death when severe. Because of the risk of staphylococcus aureus in its ability to proliferate rapidly and its resistance to certain antibiotics, diagnosis and treatment time are key factors affecting the treatment of staphylococcus aureus blood stream infections (SaB). Studies have shown that delay per hour of antibiotic can reduce patient survival by an average of 7.6%. If not properly treated within 24 hours, patient survival may drop to only 10%. Therefore, it is important to early diagnosis and timely treatment of staphylococcus aureus blood flow infection.
Currently, methods for determining pathogenic bacteria of bacterial blood stream infection are generally based on blood culture or high throughput sequencing techniques. Blood culture is a "gold standard" for diagnosis, typically requiring several days to one week to give a result, and in some cases, the sensitivity of blood culture may be insufficient, low levels of bacterial presence cannot be detected, leading to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis, and improper treatment of certain antibiotics or samples may lead to false negative results, thereby delaying treatment. This delay is particularly dangerous for staphylococcus aureus blood stream infections, as the patient's condition may deteriorate rapidly while waiting for the result. Traditional bacterial infection diagnosis indexes, including leucocytes, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin and the like, cannot judge infectious pathogens, and have limited clinical guidance value.
While high throughput sequencing (NGS), while faster than traditional culture methods, is limited by its high cost, limited in clinical popularity, interpretation of NGS data may be ambiguous in the face of unknown or rare pathogens; and NGS has high requirements on the quality of the samples. Any contamination during sample preparation may lead to inaccurate results, and special handling methods may be required for blood samples to extract enough pathogen DNA for sequencing, which is not suitable for rapid assessment of acute infection.
Recent researches show that after bacterial blood flow infection, human serum is subjected to remarkable metabolic change, and certain metabolites are closely related to the type and prognosis of bacterial infection, so that early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation indexes of bacterial blood flow infection can be developed based on serometabonomics. However, there is no research or product application to predict or diagnose blood flow infection of staphylococcus aureus by using serum metabolite. Therefore, the development of novel staphylococcus aureus blood stream infection markers has extremely important significance for early diagnosis and treatment of patients of this type and reduction of mortality.

To determine metabolic profile and differential metabolites in staphylococcus aureus blood stream infected patients (SaB patients), 15 SaB patients were compared to 11 healthy people (Ctrl group) in serometabonomics.
By T-test, saB patients identified 56 different metabolites in total and plotted their differential metabolic heat patterns compared to healthy humans, and the results are shown in fig. 1 (a). According to the metabolic heat diagram, saB patients and healthy people respectively gather different metabolites of the two groups of people. Analysis of differential metabolites in two groups of SaB and healthy individuals using PCA showed that SaB and healthy individuals were also significantly divided into two groups as shown in fig. 1 (B). It is shown that among serum metabolites of patients suffering from Staphylococcus aureus blood stream infection (SaB patients), there are characteristic serum metabolites that are distinguished from healthy people.
In order to obtain key differential metabolites for staphylococcus aureus blood stream infected patients (SaB patients) that are distinct from healthy humans, 22 key differential metabolites were obtained by OPLS-DA analysis, the results are shown in fig. 1 (C), 17 of which were in an up-regulation trend in SaB patients, and 5 metabolites were in a down-regulation trend. Serum metabolic markers with the greatest contribution efficiency in the statistical analysis are screened according to VIP values, and 11 metabolites with VIP values greater than 1 are screened by taking VIP > 1 as a standard, as shown in fig. 1 (D).

Combining the data from the differential metabolite OPLS-DA analysis of fig. 1 (C) and the differential metabolite VIP analysis of fig. 1 (D) shows that 10 common differential metabolites of auxin (Auxin), 3-hydroxyglutarate (3-Hydroxyglutaric acid), decanoyl carnitine (Decanoylcarnitine), 2-naphthacene (2-Naphthoic acid), kynurenine (Kynurenine), inositol (Inositol), glycocholic acid (Glycocholic acid), estradiol valerate (Estradiol valerate), lactulose (Lactulose), butyric acid (Butyric acid) are of great value for the identification of SaB patients from healthy humans.
EXAMPLE 3 serum Metabolic marker screening of patients with Staphylococcus aureus blood stream infection and other bacteria blood stream infection
The metabolome raw data obtained in example 1 were subjected to peak alignment, peak identification and peak extraction in Compound Discoveryer software and TRACEFINDER software. The Human Metabolome Database (HMDB), kyoto genes and genome encyclopedia (KEGG), mzCloud spectral library (mzCloud. Org) were retrieved for metabolite annotation. Data correction is carried out according to the peak area of the internal standard, and then normalization processing is carried out by adopting the total peak area of each sample.
And (3) carrying out T test and the like on the normalized data to obtain differential metabolites, further carrying out multivariate statistical analysis in SIMCA14.1 software, including Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of an unsupervised learning method and orthogonal least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) of a supervised learning method, and screening target substances with high contribution efficiency based on VIP values (VIP > 1).
To determine metabolic profile and differential metabolites in staphylococcus aureus blood stream infected patients (SaB patients), a serometabonomic comparison was performed on 15 SaB patients versus 59 non-staphylococcus aureus blood stream infected patients (NSaB patients), respectively.
By T-test, saB patients identified 41 different metabolites in total and plotted their differential metabolic heat patterns compared to NSaB patients, the results are shown in fig. 2 (a); analysis of both SaB and NSaB patient populations was further performed using PCA analysis, and the results are shown in fig. 2 (B), which shows that SaB patient has a characteristic serum metabolite that is significantly different from NSaB patient.
In order to obtain key differential metabolites for staphylococcus aureus blood stream infected patients (SaB patients) as distinguished from non-staphylococcus aureus blood stream infected patients (NSaB patients), 6 key differential metabolites were obtained by OPLS-DA analysis, the results are shown in fig. 3 (C); of these, 3 showed an up-regulation trend in SaB patients and 3 showed a down-regulation trend. Screening serum metabolic markers with maximum contribution efficacy in statistical analysis according to VIP values, and screening 9 metabolites with VIP > 1 as standard, as shown in fig. 2 (D), wherein key metabolites at 5 positions before the excretion are decanoyl carnitine (Decanoylcarnitine), kynurenine (Kynurenine), uridine (Uridine), lactulose (Lactulose) and PI (18:0/18:0), respectively.
Combining the data from the differential metabolite OPLS-DA analysis of fig. 2 (C) and the differential metabolite VIP analysis of fig. 2 (D) shows that decanoyl carnitine (Decanoylcarnitine), kynurenine (Kynurenine), PI (18:0/18:0) and palmitoyl stearate sterol (Palmitoylstigmasterol) are found.
Example 4 screening of key metabolites for diagnosis of Staphylococcus aureus blood stream infection
Intersection of key differential metabolites from healthy and SaB patients screened in example 2 and key differential metabolites from SaB and NSaB patients screened in example 3 were obtained, with different statistical methods yielding different results:
The key differential metabolite intersection results obtained by OPLS-DA analysis are shown in fig. 3 (a). Of these, only 2 metabolites of decanoyl carnitine (Decanoylcarnitine) and kynurenine (Kynurenine) are different from SaB patients at the same time and are both increasing in trend, relative to healthy humans or NSaB patients.
Key differential metabolite intersection results obtained by VIP values are shown in fig. 3 (B). Among them, the 5 different metabolites were found to be different in SaB patients-healthy humans, and SaB patients-NSaB patients, with respect to healthy humans or NSaB patients, namely decanoyl carnitine (Decanoylcarnitine), kynurenine (Kynurenine), uridine (Uridine), lactulose (Lactulose), estradiol valerate (Estradiol valerate), respectively. Detecting the abundance level of the plurality of critical bad foreign body healthy people, NSaB and SaB patients; among them, fig. 3 (C) shows that only the abundance levels of decanoyl carnitine (Decanoylcarnitine) and kynurenine (Kynurenine) are sequentially increased in healthy people-NSaB patients-SaB patients, suggesting that decanoyl carnitine and kynurenine have good value in diagnosing staphylococcus aureus blood stream infections.
ROC analysis was further performed on the above 6 different metabolites or combinations of different metabolites, and as a result, as shown in fig. 3 (D), the area under the curve (AUC) for diagnosis SaB of kynurenine was 0.8531, and the area under the curve (AUC) for diagnosis SaB of decanoyl carnitine was 0.8452, which were higher than the AUC values of uridine, lactulose, and estradiol valerate. ROC analysis was performed using decanoyl carnitine in combination with kynurenine (the product of the abundance of two markers, which is an indicator of kynurenine in combination with decanoyl carnitine as a marker), as a metabolic indicator, and AUC values were found to be as high as 0.9299. The above results demonstrate that kynurenine, decanoyl carnitine or a combination of both are key metabolic markers for detection of blood flow infections in staphylococcus aureus.
Calculating corresponding about log indexes by using the obtained ROC curves of kynurenine, decanoyl carnitine or the combination of the two, determining the optimal judgment threshold value under different metabolic marker diagnosis models by using the about log indexes, establishing a metabolic marker diagnosis model by using the optimal judgment threshold value as a detection standard for diagnosing blood flow infection of staphylococcus aureus, wherein the greater the about log index is = (sensitivity + specificity) -1, the greater the about log index is, the greater the authenticity of the result is.
Wherein, when kynurenine is used as a single metabolic marker, the optimal judgment threshold value is 6677249 at the maximum dengue index, the sensitivity of diagnosing staphylococcus aureus blood stream infection is 100%, and the specificity is 74.58%; when decanoyl carnitine is used as a single metabolic marker, a threshold 5312447 is taken at the maximum about dengue index, the sensitivity of diagnosing staphylococcus aureus blood stream infection is 73.33%, and the specificity is 83.05%; when kynurenine and decanoyl carnitine are used as the joint metabolic markers, the optimal judgment threshold is 34006150000000, and the sensitivity of diagnosing staphylococcus aureus blood stream infection is 86.67 percent and the specificity is 88.14 percent.
Example 5 comparison of detection Effect by Metabolic marker diagnostic model with conventional detection means
For 11 of 85 samples, healthy samples and 74 bacterial blood flow infected patients (including 15 staphylococcus aureus blood flow infected patients and 59 non-staphylococcus aureus blood flow infected patients), the best judgment threshold for each metabolite marker in example 4 was compared with the blood culture, blood high throughput sequencing (NGS) technique: when blood culture or blood NGS find bacteria, two clinicians comprehensively judge and determine the pathogenic bacteria.
And (5) respectively carrying out diagnosis time statistics on a metabolic marker method, a blood culture method and NGS diagnosis staphylococcus aureus blood stream infection. The statistical method is as follows:
(1) Metabolic markers: starting calculation after peripheral blood is extracted, wherein the time from obtaining the peak area of the marker metabolite is the time required by the metabolome method diagnosis SaB;
(2) Blood culture: starting calculation after blood culture is extracted, and the time from the start of the calculation to the start of the calculation after the pathogen is obtained through bacterial culture and identification is the time required by blood culture diagnosis SaB;
(3) NGS: starting calculation after peripheral blood is extracted, and determining the time for infection pathogen as the time required by NGS diagnosis SaB by NGS data analysis and comparison.
Kynurenine is taken as a single metabolic marker, and when the optimal judgment threshold value is 6677249, the detection rate of the kynurenine on SaB is 100%; when decanoyl carnitine is used as a single metabolic marker, the detection rate of SaB is 73.33% when a threshold 5312447 is taken at the maximum approximate dengue index; when kynurenine and decanoyl carnitine are taken as the joint metabolism markers, the optimal judgment threshold is 34006150000000, and the detection rate of SaB is 86.67%.
When blood culture or blood NGS find bacteria, two clinicians comprehensively judge and determine the pathogenic bacteria, the result is as follows: the results of 6 patients with blood culture only were positive, and the results of 13 patients with NGS only were positive, with 4 blood cultures and NGS both positive and staphylococcus aureus. 59 non-Staphylococcus aureus blood stream infected patients (NSaB patients) were judged, of which 20 were infected with E.coli, 13 were infected with P.aeruginosa, 10 were infected with Staphylococcus hemolyticus, 9 were infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae, 4 were infected with Staphylococcus aureus, and 3 were infected with Acinetobacter baumannii.
By the blood culture method, only 6 SaB patients showed positive blood culture, i.e., the detection rate of blood culture was only 40.0%. Detection of blood flow infected patients by NGS showed that 13 samples showed SaB positives, with a detection rate of 86.67%.
Statistics of the time of the method show that the average detection time of the metabolite marker pair SaB is 20.07+/-3.06 hours, the detection time of the blood culture is 53.67 +/-9.69 hours, and the detection time of the NGS is 28.15 +/-6.97 hours. The detection of SaB based on the metabolic markers is superior to blood culture in terms of detection rate and detection time; in addition, the detection rate is similar to that of NGS, but the detection time is better than that of NGS. This demonstrates that diagnosis SaB based on kynurenine, decanoyl carnitine or a combination of both is of advantage in persons suspected of having a blood flow infection.
EXAMPLE 6 use of kynurenine, decanoyl carnitine or a combination thereof for assessing SaB conditions and prognosis
Further analysis was performed on 15 patients with staphylococcus aureus blood stream infection (SaB patients), 7 patients with bacteremia (Bacteremia), 5 patients with sepsis (Sepsis), and 3 patients with septic shock (Septic shock) as the course of the disease progresses. The differences in abundance of kynurenine, decanoyl carnitine, and combinations of the two were compared in three different degrees of SaB patients, respectively, and the results are shown in fig. 4 (a). The results show that the abundance levels of the corresponding metabolic markers are sequentially increased in the order of progression of bacteremia-sepsis-septic shock in the three groups of kynurenine, decanoyl carnitine and combinations of both.
Critical disease scoring-acute physiological and chronic health scoring (APACHE II) was performed on 15 patients with staphylococcus aureus blood stream infection, and kynurenine, decanoyl carnitine and the combination of both metabolic markers were analyzed by Spearman for correlation with the two factors of the APACHE II score, and significant differences were found with P < 0.05, as shown in fig. 4 (B). The correlation between kynurenine and the APACHE II score was shown to be 0.7567, the correlation between decanoyl carnitine and the APACHE II score was shown to be 0.7682, and the correlation between the combined marker and the APACHE II score was shown to be 0.8628.
To further analyze the prognostic value of kynurenine, decanoyl carnitine or combinations thereof for SaB patients, serum data from more than 200 of SaB patients were further analyzed using raw data from Wozniak J M, mills R H, olson J, et al, CELL,2020, wherein the data samples included 25 normal, 99 of SaB surviving patients and 76 of SaB dead patients; its average age is 58.7±15.5 years old; 49.1% of SaB patients were male and 33.2% were infected with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus.
Analysis of serum samples of SaB surviving patients and SaB dead patients for kynurenine, decanoyl carnitine or a combination thereof, respectively, showed that the abundance levels of decanoyl carnitine and decanoyl carnitine + kynurenine were significantly increased in SaB dead patients, as shown in fig. 4 (C), with the presence of inter-group differences.
Further, the result of ROC analysis for death determination using three metabolic markers or combinations of metabolic markers is shown in fig. 4 (D), wherein the area under the curve AUC for kynurenine determination death is 0.63934, the area under the curve AUC for decanoyl carnitine determination death is 0.7043, and the area under the curve AUC for decanoyl carnitine+kynurenine determination death is 0.7180. Indicating that kynurenine, decanoyl carnitine or a combination thereof can well assess the condition and prognosis of SaB patients.
