[Bacteria name]
Anaerococcus prevotii
That is, the probe of the present invention can detect the DNA sequence of the 16S rRNA gene region among the above-mentioned fungal genes, and includes those consisting of the following base sequences.
(A) a probe comprising a base sequence represented by TCATCTTGAGGTATGGAAGGGAAAGTGG (SEQ ID NO: 35),
(B) a probe comprising a base sequence represented by GTGTTAGGTGTCTGGAATAATCTGGGTG (SEQ ID NO: 36);

(F) a probe comprising a complementary sequence of the base sequence of SEQ ID NO: 37,
(G) a probe comprising a mutated sequence in which a base is deleted, substituted or added to the base sequence of SEQ ID NO: 35 within the range capable of retaining the function as the probe;
(H) a probe comprising a mutated sequence in which a base is deleted, substituted or added to the base sequence of SEQ ID NO: 36 within the range capable of retaining the function as the probe;
(I) a probe comprising a mutated sequence in which a base is deleted, substituted or added to the base sequence of SEQ ID NO: 37 within the range capable of retaining the function as the probe;
(J) a probe comprising a mutant sequence in which a base is deleted, substituted, or added to the complementary sequence of the base sequence of SEQ ID NO: 35 within the range capable of retaining the function as the probe;
(K) a probe consisting of a mutant sequence in which a base is deleted, substituted or added within the range complementary to the base sequence of SEQ ID NO: 36 within the range capable of retaining the function as the probe, and (L) SEQ ID NO: 37 A probe comprising a mutated sequence in which a base is deleted, substituted or added within a range in which the function as the probe can be retained in a complementary sequence of the base sequence.

  A probe set can be constructed using two or more of these probes.

  The above mutant sequence has a mutation within a range that does not impair the function as a probe, that is, within a range where the target nucleic acid sequence to be detected can be hybridized and detected. Especially, it is preferable to have the variation | mutation in the range which can hybridize to the target nucleic acid sequence as a detection object on stringent conditions. Preferred conditions for hybridization that prescribe the range of mutation include the conditions in the examples described later. The target to be detected here is contained in the sample to be hybridized, and may be the base sequence itself unique to the infectious disease-causing bacteria, or a complementary sequence of this unique base sequence. Also good. Furthermore, examples of such mutations include mutant sequences in which deletion, substitution or addition of one to several bases is performed within a range that retains the probe function.

  The functions of these probes are largely dependent on the specificity of the probe sequence for the target nucleic acid sequence to be examined. The specificity of the probe sequence can be evaluated from the degree of base coincidence with the target nucleic acid sequence and the melting temperature between the target nucleic acid sequence and the probe sequence. Further, when the probe constitutes a probe set, the variation from the melting temperature of other probe sequences is also a condition that affects the performance.

  In designing these probe sequences, a region having high specificity for the bacterial species is selected so that even if different strains are the same species, there is no variation. In addition, a region having a mismatched portion of 3 or more bases with a sequence of a bacterial species other than the bacterial species is selected. In addition, the difference in melting temperature between the probe sequence and the bacterial species sequence and the melting temperature between the probe sequence and the bacterial species other than the bacterial species are designed to be 10 ° C. or higher. Furthermore, the base is deleted or added to a highly specific region so that the melting temperatures of the probes immobilized on the same carrier fall within a certain range.

  According to the experiments by the inventors of the present application, it has been found that when 80% or more of contiguous sequences are conserved among probe sequences, the attenuation of hybridization intensity is small. From this, it can be said that the function of the probe is not impaired as long as it is a mutant sequence in which 80% or more of the base sequence is conserved among the probe sequences disclosed in the present application.

  Since these probe sequences are specific only to the DNA sequence coding for the 16S rRNA gene of the bacterium, sufficient hybridization sensitivity is expected for the sequence even when stringent conditions are set. Is done. In addition, these probe sequences are designed so as to form a stable hybrid in a hybridization reaction with a target sample and obtain good results even when immobilized on a carrier.

  Furthermore, the probe fixing carrier (for example, DNA chip) on which the probe for detecting infectious disease causing bacteria according to the present invention is fixed can be obtained by supplying the probe to a predetermined position of the carrier and fixing it. Various methods can be used for supplying the probe to the carrier. For example, a method in which the probe can be fixed to the carrier by chemical bonding (covalent bonding or the like) and a liquid containing the probe is applied to a predetermined position of the carrier by an ink jet method can be suitably used. As a result, the probe is less likely to be peeled off from the carrier, and an additional effect that sensitivity is improved is obtained. That is, when a DNA chip is prepared by a stamping method called a Stanford method that has been generally used, there is a drawback that the applied DNA may be easily peeled off. As a method for producing a DNA chip, there is a method in which probes are arranged by DNA synthesis on a carrier surface (for example, a DNA chip manufactured by Affymetrix). In this method of synthesizing probes on the carrier, it is difficult to uniformly control the amount of synthesis for each probe sequence, so the amount of probe immobilization differs greatly for each probe immobilization region (spot). Is likely to occur. If there is a variation in the fixed amount of each probe, there is a case where an accurate evaluation for a detection result using the probe cannot be performed. From such a viewpoint, it is preferable that the probe carrier according to the present invention is prepared by using the above-described ink jet method. According to the above-described ink jet method, there is an advantage that a probe carrier can be efficiently provided with a high sensitivity and high accuracy, since the probe is stably fixed to the carrier and hardly peeled off.

  In addition, bases were deleted, substituted, or added to the above SEQ ID NOs: 35 to 37 and their complementary sequences, and further to the extent that they can maintain a function as a probe for detecting the gene of the bacterium. The probe set may be configured using at least two probes selected from the group consisting of mutant sequences. In this case, the detection accuracy of the Anaerococcus prevotii gene can be further improved.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

  Samples to be examined using a probe carrier (for example, a DNA chip) in which the probe of the present invention is fixed to a carrier include those derived from animals such as humans and livestock. For example, all substances that are considered to contain bacteria such as blood, cerebrospinal fluid, sputum, gastric fluid, vaginal secretions, bodily fluids such as oral mucus, urine and feces such as feces are to be examined. In addition, all media that may cause contamination by bacteria, such as food poisoning, contaminated food, drinking water and hot water in the environment, or filters such as air purifiers are subject to inspection. Can be mentioned. Furthermore, animals and plants such as quarantine at the time of import / export are also subject to specimens.

When the sample as described above can be used as it is for the reaction with the DNA chip, it is reacted with the DNA chip as a specimen and the result is analyzed. When the sample cannot be reacted with the DNA chip as it is, the sample obtained by subjecting the sample to processing as necessary such as extraction and purification of the target substance is reacted with the DNA chip as a specimen. For example, if the target nucleic acid is contained, an extract that is assumed to contain the target nucleic acid is prepared from the sample, and further subjected to treatment such as washing and dilution as necessary to obtain a sample solution, which is reacted with the DNA chip. You may let them. Furthermore, when the target nucleic acid is contained in the sample by performing various amplification processes including a PCR amplification process, the sample may be amplified and reacted with the DNA chip. Such amplified nucleic acid samples include the following.
(A) Amplified specimen prepared using PCR reaction primers designed for 16S rRNA gene detection.
(B) A sample prepared by further performing a PCR reaction or the like based on the PCR amplification product.
(C) Sample prepared by an amplification method other than PCR.
(D) Samples labeled by various labeling methods for visualization.

  In addition, the carrier used for the preparation of the probe-immobilized carrier such as a DNA chip is not particularly limited as long as it satisfies the characteristics capable of performing the intended solid-liquid phase reaction. For example, a planar substrate such as a glass substrate, a plastic substrate, or a silicon wafer, a three-dimensional structure with unevenness, a spherical shape such as a bead, a rod shape, a string shape, a thread shape, or the like can be used as a carrier. Further, the surface of the carrier may be treated so that the probe can be immobilized. In particular, those in which a functional group is introduced so that a chemical reaction can be performed on the surface are preferable in terms of reproducibility because the probe is stably bound in the course of the hybridization reaction.

  Various methods can be used to immobilize the probe. An example is a method using a combination of a maleimide group and a thiol (—SH) group. In this method, a thiol (—SH) group is bonded to the end of the probe, and the support (solid phase) surface is treated so as to have a maleimide group. As a result, the thiol group of the probe supplied to the carrier surface reacts with the maleimide group on the carrier surface to form a covalent bond and immobilize the probe.

  To introduce a maleimide group, first, an aminosilane coupling agent is reacted with a glass substrate, and then a maleimide group is introduced by a reaction between the amino group and an EMCS reagent (N- (6-Maleimidocaproyloxy) succinimide: Dojin). A method to do is available. Introduction of a thiol group into DNA can be performed by using 5′-Thiol-Modifier C6 (manufactured by Glen Research) on an automatic DNA synthesizer.

  Examples of combinations of functional groups used for immobilization include combinations of epoxy groups (on the solid phase) and amino groups (ends of nucleic acid probes) in addition to the combinations of thiol groups and maleimide groups described above. . Further, surface treatment with various silane coupling agents is also effective, and a probe into which a functional group capable of reacting with a functional group introduced with the silane coupling agent is used is used. Furthermore, a method of coating a resin having a functional group can also be used.

Detection of infectious disease-causing bacteria DNA using the probe-immobilized carrier according to the present invention can be performed by a DNA detection method having at least the following steps (i) and (ii).
(I) A step of reacting a probe-immobilized carrier on which the probe according to the present invention is immobilized with a specimen.
(Ii) a step of detecting the presence or absence of reaction between the probe on the probe-immobilized carrier and the nucleic acid in the specimen, or the reaction intensity thereof.

Furthermore, it can also be set as the detection method which has the process of at least the following processes (A)-(C).
(A) A step of reacting a probe-immobilized carrier on which a probe according to the present invention is immobilized with a specimen.
(B) A step of detecting the presence or absence of a reaction between the probe on the probe-immobilized carrier and the nucleic acid in the specimen.
(C) When the reaction between the probe and the nucleic acid in the sample is detected, the probe that has reacted with the nucleic acid in the sample is identified, and the infectious disease-causing bacteria DNA contained in the sample is identified based on the base sequence of the probe Process.

  The probe to be immobilized on the probe-immobilizing carrier is at least one of the above-mentioned (A) to (L), and other carriers (for detecting bacterial species other than Anaerococcus prevotii) are used as the carrier depending on the purpose of the examination. Probe) may be fixed. In this case, the use of a probe capable of detecting bacterial species other than Anaerococcus prevotii without causing cross-contamination as other probes enables simultaneous detection of a plurality of bacterial species with high accuracy. As other probes, the base sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 38 to 67 shown in Table 8, as well as their complementary sequences, and the range in which these base sequences can retain the function as probes for detecting the DNA of the detection target bacteria in each probe. Among them, at least one probe consisting of any base sequence selected from the group consisting of a mutant sequence in which deletion, substitution or addition of a base is made can be preferably used. The probe may be used by fixing it at a position separated from the probe for detecting DNA of Anaerococcus prevotii bacteria on the solid phase carrier.

Further, as described above, in the case where the DNA sequence of the 16S rRNA gene region of the infectious disease-causing fungus contained in the specimen is amplified by PCR and used as a sample to be reacted with the probe carrier, infectious disease initiation A primer set for detecting bacteria can be used. As this primer set, one containing at least one selected from the oligonucleotides listed in (1) to (21) below and at least one selected from the oligonucleotides listed in (22) to (28) is preferable.

In addition, for the purpose of classification based on the type of microorganism, it was possible to provide a probe set in which the same species of bacteria can be detected at once, and other types of bacteria can be distinguished and detected.

  In addition to the Peptoniphilus asaccharolyticus bacterium as described above, hybridization reactions were also performed on nucleic acids extracted from the bacterium shown in the above (1) to (62). These results were also confirmed to be substantially non-reactive like Peptoniphilus asaccharolyticus except for Anaerococcus prevotii.

  The bacteria described in the above (1) to (62) are considered to be sepsis-causing bacteria, and satisfy almost all of the pathogenic bacteria previously detected in human blood.

These probes are designed with the same Tm value with the target, reactivity with the non-target sequence, and the like so that the nucleic acid of each target bacterial species can be specifically detected under the same reaction conditions.

  A probe solution was prepared for each probe in the same manner as in [4-3] of Example 1. Thereafter, using the ink jet printer used in [4-4], each probe solution is discharged onto the same substrate, and a plurality of DNA chips in which spots of each probe are spaced apart at a pitch interval of 120 μm are provided. Created.

  One DNA chip was used for a hybridization reaction with a nucleic acid extracted from Anaerococcus prevotii bacteria in the same manner as in [6] of Example 1. As a result, the spot of the probe that specifically detects Anaerococcus prevotii bacteria showed almost the same fluorescence brightness as in Example 1. Further, the remaining spots of other probes showed very low fluorescence luminance.

  Furthermore, using other prepared DNA chips, hybridization reactions were similarly carried out for bacteria other than the Anaerococcus prevotii bacteria listed in Table 8. As a result, the spot of Anaerococcus prevotii showed very low fluorescence brightness, and the spot of the probe of the target strain showed very high brightness. Therefore, it was confirmed that the DNA chip prepared in this example can simultaneously determine 11 types of bacteria listed in Table 8 in addition to Anaerococcus prevotii bacteria.

(Example 3)
Using the DNA chip prepared in Example 2, detection was attempted when a plurality of bacterial species were present in the sample. A culture solution in which both Anaerococcus prevotii and Clostridium difficile were cultured was prepared, treated in the same manner as in Example 1, and reacted with a DNA chip. As a result, the spots of the probes having only SEQ ID NOs: 35, 36, 37, 43, 44, and 45 showed high fluorescence luminance, and it was confirmed at the same time that both of these bacteria were present.
