Definitions
- the present invention relates to a rapid microscopic microscopic diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis (hereinafter abbreviated as "BV"), that is to say by detection of a single microorganism and, where appropriate, non-quantitatively. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for diagnosing the state of the vaginal bacterial flora with regard to the presence of a bacterial vaginosis (BV), where appropriate for monitoring the state of the vaginal bacterial flora and of its therapeutic management.
- BV bacterial vaginosis
- BV which is a frequent infection with adverse consequences for pregnancy and the fetus
- BV has been defined from a microbiological point of view by a quasi-disappearance of the normal vaginal flora mainly composed of other bacteria, including Gardnerella vaginalis, Mobiluncus spp. and genital mycoplasmas [Spiegel CA, CMR
- BV is a frequent reason for medical consultation, it is particularly involved in susceptibility to sexually transmitted infections such as HIV, and for pregnancy in the premature birth and birth of children of low weight. Its prevalence in women, including during pregnancy, is between 8 and 23% [Guise JM, AJPM 2001] according to current methods of investigation.
- the Nugent score identifies VB through a semi-quantitative morphological analysis of bacteria after Gram staining. It is therefore a subjective technique whose reproducibility has been called into question [Sha BE, CWY 2005; Schwebke JR, OG 1996].
- the clinical criteria of Amsel vaginal pH greater than 4.5, homogenous homogeneous greyish leucorrhoea, nitrogenous odor after addition of 10% KOH, presence of clue-cells represent the second diagnostic approach [Amsel R AJM 1983]. Like Nugent's score, it is of delicate determination and not used in routine clinical practice.
- Atopobium vaginae is the main new bacterial species characterized.
- vaginalis being detected only in 49% and 71%, respectively, of patients with BV.
- 16 patients (28%) with a relapse of BV after treatment had a G. vaginalis concentration below the given threshold (Table 3).
- Forty patients (70%) with relapse of BV also had a concentration below the A. vaginae threshold.
- PCR techniques were not sensitive enough because the molecular targets amplified too long fragments (430 bp ribosomal RNA fragment for A. vaginae and 291 base pairs for G. vaginae). vaginalis). With such a long targeted sequence, sensitivity in a PCR reaction is low.
- the presence of a bacterial vaginosis or the failure of the current therapeutic treatment is determined if the DNA fragment concentrations of the two specific sequences of the bacteria Atopobium vaginae and Gardnerella vaginalis respectively in a sample Vaginal secretions of a patient containing at least 10 4 human cells / ml, are such that at least one of the following conditions a) and b) is complied with: a) the concentration Ca is a DNA fragment thereof; Atopobium vaginae is greater than or equal to 10 8 copies / ml, and b) the Cg concentration in said Gardnerella vaginalis DNA fragment is greater than or equal to 10 9 copies / ml.
- a concentration of Atopobium vaginae bacterium greater than or equal to the threshold of 10 8 can detect about 90% of vaginoses.
- the quantification of the bacterium Gardnerella vaginalis is complementary in the case where the concentration of Atopobium vaginae is below the threshold of 10 8 bacteria / ml, to detect vaginosis, because the detection threshold of G. vaginalis greater than or equal to 10 9 bacteria / mL alone would detect only about half of the vaginoses. Therefore, according to this method, it is necessary to quantify the DNA concentrations for both bacteria.
- the development of bacterial vaginosis is confirmed if the Ca, Cg and Cl concentrations of at least three fragments of specific sequences present in a single copy in the DNA of A. vaginae bacteria (Ca ), G. vaginalis (Cg) and Lactobacillus sp. (Cl) in the DNA extracted from a sample of female vaginal secretions are such that the ratio of the concentrations CI / (Ca + Cg) decreases between the two samples taken successively in time at sufficient time interval, preferably at less than 1 month.
- Ca, Cg and Cl concentrations of at least three fragments of specific sequences present in a single copy in the DNA of A. vaginae bacteria (Ca ), G. vaginalis (Cg) and Lactobacillus sp. (Cl) in the DNA extracted from a sample of female vaginal secretions are such that the ratio of the concentrations CI / (Ca + Cg) decreases between the two samples taken successively in time at sufficient time interval,
- development of vaginosis is understood to mean an aggravation of an already detected vaginosis or, in certain cases, a risk of vaginosis, that is to say an imbalance or an abnormality of the vaginal flora may become pathological.
- the concentration of bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus sp. comes in addition or confirmation in case the conditions of concentrations of A. vaginae and G. vaginalis are combined.
- a bacterial vaginosis is determined if said concentrations are such that the following 3 conditions are met: a- concentration of Ca in said DNA fragment of specific sequence Atopobium vaginae greater than or equal to 10 8 copies / ml, b- concentration Cg in said fragment of DNA sequence specific Gardnereiia vaginalis greater than or equal to 10 9 copies / ml_, and c-concentration C1 in said DNA fragment sequence specific Lactobacillus sp. less than or equal to 10 7 copies / ml_.
- Said Ca, Cg or Cl concentrations are determined by enzymatic amplification of PCR type in real time and quantification of the DNA of said DNA fragments of sequences specific for the bacteria Atopobium vaginae, Gardnerella vaginalis and, where appropriate, Lactobacillus sp, as well as, preferably, a human DNA fragment present in any human biological sample containing cells.
- the purpose of the present invention is to simplify the implementation of laboratory diagnosis of BV by providing a single-plate test (ie by detection of a single microorganism) and if possible non-quantitative.
- the inventors have expanded previous studies of the microbial flora of BV, to the study of archaea methanogens by molecular detection methods and detection by culture.
- Methanobrevibacter smithii is associated with BV very specifically and significantly and any detection of this archaea makes diagnosis easy and reliable.
- the present invention provides a method for in vitro diagnosis of the presence of bacterial vaginosis in a patient, characterized in that the following steps are carried out in which: a) an extraction of the total DNA contained in the vaginal secretion sampling sample by a method capable of extracting DNA from the archaea methanogens preferably comprising at least two stages of lysis of enzymatic and / or mechanical DNA, and b) determining the presence of bacterial vaginosis if the DNA extracted from said vaginal secretion sampling sample of said patient is detected, the presence of said specific sequence of human DNA and at least one nucleic acid sequence specific for said archaea methanogen Methanobrevibacter smithii, the concentrations of the DNA fragments of said specific sequence of human DNA and of said specific sequence of Methanobrevibact er smithii in said vaginal secretion sample being greater than or equal to 10 1 copies / ml each.
- This threshold of 10 copies was determined by comparative tests with a dilution range as explained in Example 1 below.
- the present invention therefore allows the diagnosis and in vitro monitoring of the state of the vaginal bacterial flora with regard to the presence of bacterial vaginosis, and where appropriate for monitoring its therapeutic treatment, by detecting the presence of the only methanogenic archaea Methanobrevibacter smithii.
- the presence of Methanobrevibacter smithii is determined by detecting the presence of at least one nucleic acid sequence specific for said methanogenic archaea Methanobrevibacter smithii present in a single copy in said archaea Methanobrevibacter smithii contained in the DNA extracted from said sample. vaginal secretion collection of said patient, said specific sequence of Methanobrevibacter smithii having a size less than 150 nucleotides.
- step b) the following steps are performed: b. l) carrying out the PCR-type enzymatic amplification of at least one of said specific sequence of said methanogenic archaea Methanobrevibacter smithii in the DNA extracted from said vaginal secretion sample, and b.2) performing the detection of amplified fragments of said specific Methanobrevibacter smithii sequence, preferably by sequencing, by agarose gel electrophoresis or by means of labeled probes specific for said specific sequence of said Methanobrevibacter smithii methanogenic archaea, of sequences distinct from those of said amplification primers .
- a method is carried out in which: a specific extraction protocol of the total DNA contained in the sample of vaginal origin is made.
- This extraction protocol may be a simplified protocol including the extraction of Methanobrevibacter s / 77 / f / 7 DNA which archaea is of thick wall and difficult to extract the DNA or a standard protocol previously described. as set forth in Examples 1 to 3.

- the real-time PCR technique consists of conventional PCR using forward and reverse sequence primers, and includes amplified product detection based on fluorescence emission measurement proportional to the amount of amplified genes with a so-called probe. "Hydrolysis”.
- said probe is labeled with a fluorescence emitter or 5 'fluorophore and a 3' fluorescence emission blocking agent. This blocking agent absorbs the fluorescence emitted when the fluorophore and the blocking agent are close. When the fluorophore and the blocking agent are separated, the fluorescence emission is no longer absorbed by the blocking agent.

- the specificity of the molecular detection described here leads to the understanding that the detection of one or more specific antigens of M. smithii by any appropriate method; as well as the detection of the presence of methane in the vaginal cavity or from a sampling of the vaginal cavity by any suitable method also constitute methods of diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis, could constitute a monopléxé and non-quantitative diagnostic test of the presence of M. smithii in a sample of the vaginal cavity within the scope of the present invention, in particular a method for detecting one or more antigens specific for M. smithii, in particular by immunodetection using specific antibodies or colorimetric method.
- this diagnostic method of BV allows monitoring for assessment the therapeutic management of BV during pregnancy.
