Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the detection of one or more microorganisms in a sample which contains a large number of different microorganisms by means of molecular biological techniques, such as amplification reactions, and a compilation of components for carrying out the method.
- the method according to the invention is referred to as a modular polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
- Another disadvantage of known identification systems is that a large number of microorganisms remain undetected when examining complex samples because their culture requirements are unknown.
- primers for diagnostic tasks are designed in order to directly detect organisms of interest to be able to.
- sequence information obtained in this way primers for diagnostic tasks are designed in order to directly detect organisms of interest to be able to.
- a molecular biological method for genome analysis is known as HLA typing. After amplification of the locus in question, the allelic state is characterized by hybridization with probes of selected specificity.
- the technical problem on which the invention is based is to provide a method which permits a reliable determination of any microorganisms present in a sample, even if these are present in a mixture with various types of microorganisms.
- the method should also be simple and inexpensive to carry out.
- the HLA typing differs from the inventive method z. B. in that the former relates to eukaryotic gene sequences and the analysis of the gene sequence of an individual organism.
- the method according to the invention is suitable for the detection of one or more microorganisms in a sample which contains a large number of different microorganisms. Molecular biological techniques such as amplification reactions are used.
- At least one hybridization probe (A) which is able to display conserved nucleic acid sequences in the microorganism (s) of interest and at least one hybridization probe (B) which is able to display the less conserved nucleic acid sequences in the microorganism (s) of interest in is able to be added to the sample with the proviso that at least one hybridization probe of type (A) and type (B) must be present per microorganism of interest and the sample is in a state capable of hybridization.
- the resulting hybridization pattern identifies the microorganism (s) of interest.
- the method according to the invention is advantageous due to its modular structure.
- a general PCR reaction which is identical for large groups of microorganisms, is linked to a subsequent detection by using taxon-specific sequences within the amplified DNA.
- hybridization probes that correspond to microbial nucleic acid sequences of different degrees of conservation, the detection and identification of microorganisms that are in a mixed sample is made possible without a separation for the identification e.g. B. through single colony passages is necessary.
- a combination of general germ determination based on highly conserved sequence sections and individually definable specification by less conserved sequence sections is carried out.
- parts of the genetic information are preferably amplified in vitro using the hybridization probes as starter molecules (for example by PCR).
- the hybridization probe (s) A are preferably used as starters for the amplification and the hybridization probe (s) B for detection.
- the hybridization probe (s) B is also possible to use the hybridization probe (s) B as a starter for the amplification and the hybridization probe (s) A for the detection, the hybridization probe (s) A and B as a starter for the amplification and the hybridization probe (s) B for the detection or to use the hybridization probe (s) A and B as starter for the amplification and the hybridization probe (s) A for detection.
- the advantage of this embodiment is that the desired combination of amplification and detection with the hybridization probes of narrower and broader specificity is achieved in this way.
- Part of the method is advantageously carried out on a solid phase by binding part of the hybridization probes, the coupling of the corresponding hybridization probe (s) to the solid phase taking place after the amplification or that the coupling of the corresponding hybridization probe (s) to the solid phase before amplification and the amplification takes place at least partially on the solid phase.
- the less conserved sequence (s), which corresponds to the hybridization probe (s) B are located between the conserved sequence regions, which correspond to the hybridization probe (s) (n) A corresponds (correspond) or the conserved sequence (s) corresponding to the hybridization probe (s) A is or are located between the less conserved sequence regions that the (the ) Hybridization probe (s) B corresponds (correspond). This is advantageous because an additional selection of the sequence-correct amplification is achieved.
- the amplification according to the invention can be carried out simultaneously with a plurality of starter pairs on a plurality of target sequences simultaneously. This offers the advantage of simultaneously amplifying those microorganisms in a reaction for which there are no sufficiently matching hybridization probes as starters.
- Ribosomal gene sequences have proven to be particularly suitable for use in the method according to the invention. Ribosomal gene sequences offer the advantage that they have highly conserved and less conserved sections in the preferred close neighborhood of interest here. Another advantage of using these gene sequences is that ribosomal genes exist in multiple copies per genome of microorganisms, resulting in a comparatively higher sensitivity of the assay according to the invention contributes.
- Figure 1 illustrates the relationships described above in a schematic representation.
- the AI and A2 probes hybridizing with highly conservative regions of a gene structure of rDNA hybridize with two different regions of a DNA structure of a prokaryote coding for 16S rRNA. These areas flank a region in which there are medium and low conserved areas, which in turn interact with the hybridization probes B1 and B2.
- the amplification results in a detectable amount of analyzable substance which, in the event of a positive reaction, enables families and / or types of microorganisms to be distinguished.
- the hybridization conditions can in each case be selected so stringently by temperature, ionic strength and other factors, in particular influencing the hydrogen bonding, that the specificity of the hybridization reaction (s) between the target sequence and the hybridization probes required for the statement of the method is ensured.
- the person skilled in the art can determine how to select and set the stringency in detail using means known to him (cf. U. Wobus, "Isolation, Fractionation and Hybridization of Nucleic Acids", Akademie-Verlag, Berlin, 1981, 229 pages).
- the hybridization probes are selected depending on the analytical task. Both general bacterial count determinations in combination with the detection of special species and the analysis and characterization of very complex samples are possible.
- reaction vessels which contain various hybridization probes, preferably bound to a solid phase, which are combined in a modular manner in such a way that a large number of samples or different analytical questions on one or a few samples are examined in parallel and simultaneously.
- a combination which contains components for carrying out the method according to the invention. These include, among other components, the hybridization probe (s) A and B.
- a kit contains at least one hybridization probe A and / or B coupled to a carrier, e.g. B. a reaction vessel. These reaction vessels can be used as modules for similar analysis problems.
- the combination according to the invention preferably also contains reagents for carrying out amplification reactions and / or components for the detection of amplificates.
- reagents for carrying out amplification reactions and / or components for the detection of amplificates include reaction buffer, dNTP mix, water, enzymes, method descriptions, instructions for use, warnings and the like.
- hybridization probes A with broadband specificity served for the amplification of all bacteria present in the test sample and corresponded to a highly conserved section of the ribosomal 16S rDNA according to Stackebrandt and Liesack (Handbook of New Bacterial Systematics, p 151-193, 1993):
- the hybridization probes B with narrower specificity served as detection probes.
- Escherichia coli AAC GUC GCA AGA CCA AAG Seq. ID # 3
- Bacillus subtilis GGT TGT TTG AAC CGC ATG GTT Seq. ID # 4
- the probes were biotinylated at the 5 'end for detection using an ELISA reader. As a result, a color change could be detected after adding a streptavidin-conjugated peroxidase (Soumet et al., BioTechniques 19: 792-796 (1995)).
- the germs were first grown in buffered peptone water and then the DNA of all organisms was isolated from this mixture sample using a DNA isolation kit.
- a primer (530r, see above) was covalently bound to the cavity of the CovaLink TM plate according to the instructions of the company Nunc.
- EDC 1-ethyl-3- (3-dimethylaminopropylcarbodiimide
- the wells were sucked dry and washed twice with 0.2 M NaOH, each with a 5-minute incubation.

- SSC standard saline citrate
- 5x Denhardt's solution 100 ⁇ g / ml sheared and denatured herring sperm DNA.
- the biotinylated hybridization probes were adjusted to a concentration of 0.1 nmol / L in hybridization solution and filled into the cavities in 100 ⁇ l aliquots.
- the hybridization reaction ran at 37 ° C for 3 h.
- three washing steps were carried out at 37 ° C. The first time with 2x SSC, 0.1% Tween 20 for 20 minutes.
- the strepavidin-conjugated peroxidase was then added.
- the peroxidase (Sigma Chemica, St. Louis. MO, USA) was diluted 1: 1000 in SPO solution (100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween 20). 100 ul of this dilution was added to each well. The plate was incubated at 37 ° C for 30 minutes. It was then washed three times with SPO solution.
- TMB solution 1.5 mg / ml tetramethylbenzidine; Sigma Chemica
- 25 mM citric acid 50 mM NaH 2 PO 4 , 0.03% H 2 0 2 , 10% dimethyl sulfoxide [DMSO] were used as the substrate. , pH 5.0) dissolved and added. After 45 minutes at 37 ° C, the reaction was stopped with 25 ul 2M H 2 S0 4 and measured at 450 nm on an ELISA reader.
- the color changes to be observed in the individual cavities were the indicator for the presence in the test sample of the type of bacteria that corresponded to the added detection probe.
- Example 2 Water samples and suspensions of industrial skimmed milk powders are checked for the presence of Staphylococcus s ⁇ p., Salmonella ssp. and Escherichia ssp. examined.
- oligonucleotides with the following sequence were selected as hybridization probes A with broadband specificity:
- amplicons with a length of approximately 460 bp are obtained in the prokaryotes analyzed.
- the oligonucleotide 16SA2 was selected for coupling to the CovaLink TM plate and was used in the reaction mixture at a concentration of 0.06 ⁇ M, while the oligonucleotide 16SA1 was used in the reaction mixture at a concentration of 0.5 ⁇ M.

- Example 2 The experimental conditions were identical to those of Example 1, except for the hybridization and washing temperatures in the detection. Here, hybridization and washing were carried out at 52 ° C. For this purpose, the bacteria were added to the samples both individually and in a mixture in different concentrations and concentration ratios (10 3 or 10 fi germs / ml).
