Definitions
- the present invention relates to the Molecular Biology Branch and in particular provides a process, which includes the use of methods and procedures, and a set of reagents for the rapid typing of microorganisms.
- the microorganisms can be yeasts, parasites and gram positive or negative bacteria and for their typing, electrophoresis mini-devices of pulsating fields of type CHEF and TAFE are used.
- ECP Pulsed Field Electrophoresis
- This method is considered the gold standard 'methods of molecular typing of microorganisms genome.
- ECP typing is done by separating in gels the DNA molecules that are subjected to the action of electrical pulses in two different directions.
- the band patterns that are obtained after electrophoresis of DNA samples from isolates of any microorganism unambiguously characterize their genetic endowment and are highly reproducible and discriminatory (Oliver DM, Bean P., J. Clin. Microbiol., 1999, 37: 6, 1661-1669).
- Oliver DM Bean P., J. Clin. Microbiol., 1999, 37: 6, 1661-1669
- ECP electrophoretic karyotype
- the microorganisms can be yeast fungi, single-celled parasites, etc.
- the band patterns of the restriction macrophages of said circular DNA are obtained. These patterns are called pulsotypes since they are obtained under conditions Experimental set.
- microorganisms can be bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, etc. The comparison of the karyotypes of the different strains allows their characterization and differentiation. Similarly, it occurs with bacterial DNA restriction fragments. Thus, both molecular karyotypes and pulsotypes are used in the comparative study of fungi, bacteria and parasites.
- the process of typing microorganisms through ECP includes the following steps and procedures:
- ECP Pulsed Field Electrophoresis
- FIGE ' Field Investment Gel Electrophoresis ', US Patent No. 4, 737,251, April 12, 1988
- MiniTAFE and MiniCHEF mini-cameras (Riverón AM et al., Anal. Lett, 1995, vol. 28, pp1973-1991; European Patent Application EP 0 745 844, Bula 1996/49; US Patent Application 08 / 688,607, 1995; Cuban Patent RPI No. 02/95, 1995).
- the systems commonly used to typify microorganisms by ECP The systems commonly used to typify microorganisms by ECP.
- the most used systems to typify and study the genome of microorganisms are CHEF and TAFE, since they obtain straight patterns in any lane of the gel, which allows comparing the results of a run and between different electrophoretic runs.
- CHEF cuvettes employ underwater gels up to 21 x 14 cm (width x length) placed horizontally and have a distance between opposite pairs of electrodes of 33.5 cm (CHEF Mapper XA Pulsed Field Electrophoresis System. Instruction Manual and Application Guide. Catalog Numbers 170 -3670 to 170-3673, BioRad, pp 11, 1995). As mentioned, the CHEF system has been widely used to typify microorganisms.
- bacteria Bacillly, S., Anal. Biochem., 1989, 177, pp 110-114; Dingwall A. and Shapiro L., Proc. Nati. Acad. Sci. USA., 1989, 86, pp 119- 123; Ferdows MS and Barbour AG, Proc. Nati. Acad. Sci.
- the advantage of the CHEF equipment that has been used so far is that it allows the analysis of up to 40 samples at a time, which facilitates the comparative analysis of the electrophoretic patterns provided by the samples of numerous isolates.
- the TAFE system was proposed by Gardiner KJ, Laas W and Pa terson D. in their publication in Somatic Cell Mol. Genet., 1986, 12, pp 185. They initially called that system "Vertical Pulsed Field Electrophoresis” (VPFE) and developed an apparatus that was protected by US Patent No. 4,740,283 April 26, 1988.
- This system places two pairs of electrodes parallel to both sides of an underwater gel (10 cm long x 7.6 cm wide x 0.64 cm thick) that is placed vertically. That arrangement of electrodes generates lines of force in the electric field that cross the gel transversely, and force the molecules to migrate during each pulse through the thickness of the gel. In this configuration, molecules of equal size travel similar distances during electrophoresis and migrate following straight paths to the same height in the gel, regardless of the well in which the samples were deposited. This is one of the advantages of this system for typing, since it allows comparing the migrations of DNA that are contained in different samples.
- TAFE Transverse Alternating Field Electrophoresis System
- FIGE has also been used to quickly type bacteria (Goering RV and inters MA., J. Clin. Microbiol., 1992, 30: 3,577-580; Grothues D. et al., J. Clin. Microbiol., 1988 , 26:10, 1973-1977).
- the phenomenon of inversion of electrophoretic mobility has been described in FIGE which prevents a correct estimation of sizes and the comparison of the patterns of numerous samples.
- One of the characteristics of this investment is the inability to predict when it will occur (Birren B.
- ECP mini-teams In 1995, the miniECP, miniTAFE and miniCHEF versions were reported (Riverón AM et al., Anal. Lett., 1995, vol. 28, pp1973-1991; European Patent Application EP 0 745 844, Bull 1996/49; US Patent Application 08 / 688,607, 1995; Cuban Patent RPI No. 02/95, 1995) in which most of the limitations of the listed ECP equipment were resolved. In them, electrophoresis of pulsating fields is performed in 4 to 6 hours, with 7 samples deposited in a minigel of 4 x 4 x 0.5 cm (length x width x thickness).
- miniCHEF equipment In miniCHEF equipment, electric fields of up to 16 V / cm can be applied, which gives the minigeles an adequate resolution between the electrophoretic pattern bands in 2.7 hours. The little separation of its electrodes Opposite polarity allows the construction of small cuvettes and the use of low buffer volume to cover the electrodes.
- a given voltage is applied in the mini- CHEF, that is, a certain value of electric field intensity ⁇ ', less heat is generated than would be generated if the same value of the CHEF equipment currently marketed is applied (Riverón AM et al., Anal. Lett., 1995 vol. 28, pp. 1973-1991).
- minigels when minigels are deposited more than 0.1 cm thick, it takes a long time to achieve an adequate resolution of the electrophoretic pattern.
- the reported minigels only admit 7 samples (miniCHEF) and 13 samples (miniTAFE), which is a low capacity for analysis to typify microorganism isolates in clinical laboratories.
- cerevisiae samples could be prepared without using any enzyme, but incubating the 4 h blocks in LETK (10 mM Tris, 500 mM EDTA, 600 mM KCI, pH 7.5), 2 hours in NDS ( 10 mM Tris, 500 mM EDTA, 1% sarcosyl, pH 9.5) and 4 hours in NDS containing 4 M urea (NDSU), which gave a 10 h sample preparation time (López-Cánovas L, et al. , Anal. Lett., 1996, 29:12, 2079-2084).
- LETK 10 mM Tris, 500 mM EDTA, 600 mM KCI, pH 7.5
- NDS 10 mM Tris, 500 mM EDTA, 1% sarcosyl, pH 9.5
- NDSU NDS containing 4 M urea
- molds for their formation.
- These molds can be reusable or disposable. Reusable molds should allow sterilization by any means. This is important when working with samples of pathogenic microorganisms.
- the disposable mold is simpler, but it generates a dependency on the part of the user and could be a limiting step in laboratories with few resources.
- the existing molds are the following: a) those that form similar and independent blocks (U. S Patent, No. 4,473,452, Sep. 25, 1984); b) those that form flat and long strips that are cut to form independent blocks; c) those that form long agarose rods or rods that are cut to form independent blocks (Birren B and Lai E.
- Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis a practical guide, Academic Press, Inc. San Diego, California, 1993, pp 29-30 ). They generate samples that, in general, are larger than the gel wells. Therefore, for the blocks to have the dimensions of the gel wells, it is necessary to cut them with a scalpel or any other implement (CHEF Mapper XA Pulsed Field Electrophoresis System. Instruction Manual and Application Guide pp 40, Section 7. Catalog Numbers 170-3670 to 170-3673 Bio-Rad. 1995). However, not all manually cut blocks remain with similar dimensions. This inequality influences the quality of the electrophoretic pattern, since the resolution of the molecules in the gels depends on the thickness of the sample that is deposited in the gel.
- the selection of the experimental conditions of the ECP The selection of the experimental conditions is complex. There are methods that allow you to select the run conditions in ECP equipment.
- the CHEF Mapper of the Bio-Rad has an auto-algorithm option and an interactive algorithm option (CHEF Mapper XA Pulsed Field Electrophoresis System. Instruction Manual and Application Guide. Pp 31-40 Catalog Numbers 170-3670 to 170-3673. Bio-Rad. 1995).
- the two options allow you to calculate the pulse times, the duration of the pulse ramps, the reorientation angle, the electric field and the optimal run time to separate the DNA molecules from a given sample.
- the interactive algorithm allows to vary the type, temperature and concentration of the buffer and the type and concentration of agarose.
- Both algorithms work on the basis of empirical and theoretical data collected during 5 years of experiences (Bio-Rad Catalog. Life Science Research Products. Bio-Rad Laboratories, pp185. 1998/99), but the manufacturers themselves recommend that the autoalgorithm be enter sizes larger and smaller than those that you want to separate. Also, that it is considered that if the size range that is introduced, such as data in the autoalgorithm and in the interactive program, is large, the algorithms can give erroneous results, such as the inversion of the mobility of the molecules in the center of the gel.
- Equations have been proposed that describe the migration of DNA molecules when a single ramp of electric pulses and any electric field and temperature value is applied (electrophoresis is performed in 1.5% Lachema agarose and in 0.5X TBE buffer (TBE 1X: 89 mM Tris, 89 mM Boric Acid, 2 mM EDTA) (López-Cánovas L et al., J. Chromatogr. A, 1998, 806: 123-139)
- TBE 1X 89 mM Tris, 89 mM Boric Acid, 2 mM EDTA
- Electrophoresis requires about 20 hours, sample preparation methods recommended by manufacturers and reported in the literature require the use of large amounts of enzymes (For example, 80 mg / ml proteinase K) (CHEF Mapper XA Pulsed Field Electrophoresis System Instruction Manual and Application Guide pp. 40-43 Catalog Numbers 170-3670 to 170-3673. Bio-Rad. 1995) and / or long incubation times. It is accepted that one of the factors that has limited the use of ECP for the typing of microorganisms is that it takes between 2 and 3 days to complete the analysis of the isolates. This has reduced the ability of laboratories to analyze a large number of samples (Olive DM and Bean P, J. Clin. Microbiol., 1999, 37: 6, 1661-1669). Essence of the invention
- the present invention provides a process and a set of reagents that allow to isolate microorganism isolates in a working day (between 7 and 13 hours) by obtaining the patterns of bands typical of the separation of DNA molecules when subjected to pulsating field electrophoresis in miniequipments.
- a method is provided that in 60 minutes, at most, provides intact and immobilized DNA samples in miniblocks of some gel starting from cells that are treated with solutions that do not contain hydrolytic enzymes, being the previous treatment or after immobilization of said cells.
- the cells can be yeasts, parasites and gram positive and negative bacteria and are immobilized in some gel, by using a sterilizable mold of a flexible material that provides miniblocks whose thicknesses are homogeneous and can be between 0.03 and 0.1 cm depending on the dimensions of the mold to be used.
- a sterilizable mold of a flexible material that provides miniblocks whose thicknesses are homogeneous and can be between 0.03 and 0.1 cm depending on the dimensions of the mold to be used.
- Predictive methods of linear DNA migrations are provided. The methods were conceived on the basis of theoretical equations that allow calculating the migrations of all DNA molecules in any condition of electric field, temperature, pulse duration, pulse ramps and electrophoresis in the CHEF system.
- the process allows to study up to 27 samples of immobilized DNA of microorganisms that are a) prepared by the non-enzymatic procedure, b) separated in the minigels of the mini-equipment after selecting, by the predictive methods mentioned, the optimal conditions that will be applied during the electrophoresis c) analyzed their sizes using the methods of analysis of the migrations of the linear molecules of DNA that were deposited in the wells of the minigel, subjected to the action of two electric fields in said mini-equipment and revealed in the gel by any staining procedure.
- the sample preparation method provided in this invention consumes 60 minutes at most, it is simple and cheap, as it does not require lytic enzymes or proteases in the incubation solutions of the microorganisms and provides intact and immobilized DNA.
- the intact molecules are digestible with restriction enzymes and when said samples are subjected to pulsed field electrophoresis, the intact DNA or its restriction fragments migrate in the minigeles providing the band patterns corresponding to their molecular karyotypes or pulsotypes.
- the method is based on the chemical modification of the bacterial wall that allows the lysis of the microorganisms, or the passage of small effector molecules to the target molecules within the cell, as well as the elimination of undesirable intracellular components by dialysis. In the miniblocks where the cells were immobilized, intact immobilized DNA is obtained.
- the method contemplates the following general steps:
- microorganism cells are initially isolated from fluids of hospitalized persons, from a biotechnological strain or from experiments in a common laboratory of molecular, genetic or other biology.
- the cells are grown in liquid or solid media provided they are of the appropriate composition for each microorganism.
- the cells are a) immobilized and incubated in the non-enzymatic solutions, or b) incubated in the solution (s) and subsequently immobilized.
- the miniblocks containing the cells are incubated for 30-60 minutes at 45-50 ° C in the non-enzymatic solution.
- the cells are first incubated in the non-enzymatic solution for 5-30 minutes at 50 ° C and then immobilized in agarose miniblock.
- the cells are dialyzed against the electrophoresis buffer if it is to be performed, or against the preservation buffer if they wish to store, or against the restriction buffer if they are to be digested.
- the organisms that can be incubated in the non-enzymatic solution prior to immobilization are Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Hansenula polymorph, P ⁇ chia pastoris and Staphylococcus aureus. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Entamoeba Histolytics should be immobilized first and then incubated in non-enzymatic solutions. Table I presents the most effective solutions for washing the collected cells:
- Non-enzymatic solutions for the incubation of cells or miniblocks are characterized by containing anionic detergents, a chelating agent, an agent capable of competing in the formation of hydrogen bonds and Tris buffer.
- anionic detergents a chelating agent
- Tris buffer The most efficient contains: 1% sarcosyl, 0.1 M EDTA, 0.01 M Tris-base, 4 M urea and its pH is 9.5 (NDSU).
- nonidet P-40 is added to the previous solution (NDSUPIus).
- microorganisms such as Escherichia coli
- a non-enzymatic lysis solution containing 1% sarcosyl, nonidet
- the preservation buffer of miniblocks containing immobilized DNA is TE-
- the procedure to immobilize the cells in agarose miniblock is to use a sterilizable mold of flexible material. This is a sheet of silicone, rubber or other flexible material up to 0.5 cm thick (see the example in embodiments
- the sheet has any shape and size in the other dimensions. In the sheet there are multiple square depressions stamped that can be up to 0.3 cm wide and 0.03 to 0.1 cm deep. To pour the agarose cell suspension the mold is pre-set at 42 ° C by placing it on a surface at that temperature, then the suspension is poured into the mold and with a spatula it is distributed in the depressions. The mold is then covered with a lid that can be made of glass, plastic, acrylic or any other material and placed between 4 -15 ° C to gel the miniblock. The miniblocks of homogeneous sizes that are generated are extracted from the flexible mold by holding it by the edges and twisting it inside a container containing the non-enzymatic solution for the treatment of said miniblocks.
- the suspension is prepared in such a way that between 0.12 and 3 x 10 8 bacteria, 8 x 10 7 yeasts or 6 x 10 4 trophozoites of Entamoeba histolytica are immobilized for each 0.3 x 0.07 cm gel miniblock. All the mentioned microorganisms can be prepared by using this type of mold. Also with this type of mold, mini-blocks containing any other type of cells can be prepared.
- the method for selecting the optimal electrophoresis conditions that will be applied in the mini-equipment is based on calculating the migrations of the linear DNA molecules by employing a group of theoretical equations that describe the migration, the reorientation times and the migration rates of said DNA molecules in the miniCHEF minigel.
- the equations are fed with electric field and temperature values between 1 - 20 V / cm and 4 - 30 ° C and it is assumed that 1.5% agarose is used in the electrophoresis process and as a 44.5 mM Tris electrophoresis buffer, acid Boric 44.5 mM, 1 mM EDTA, pH 8.3 (TBE 0.5x).
- the theoretical equations that describe the migration of DNA are as follows:
- tr reorientation time (sec.), vr. migration speed during reorientation (cm / sec.), vm: migration speed after reorientation (cm / sec.),
- N number of pulse ramps.
- a series of pulse times (tp r ) are calculated, which begin for 1.5 times less time than the reorientation time of the smaller molecule and end with 1.5 times more than the reorientation time of the larger molecule. Linear time increments are used in the tp r series calculated.
- the maximum electrophoresis time is estimated from the calculation of the migration of the smaller linear DNA molecule. This is done as follows:
- Equations 2 and 3 are defined as the electric field and temperature values of the buffer to be used.
- the program would also provide a quick means of performing the calculations required to implement this part of the invention.
- the graphic representation of the distances that the linear DNA molecules would migrate, under the specified conditions of the electrophoresis process, is carried out: i) drawing a minigel of the dimensions of the real minigel and drawing in said minigel the wells where the samples were supposedly deposited , ii) placing lines below each well that represent the bands of the molecules of each size that would separate. Each line is the width of the well and they are separated from the well the distances that the molecules of each size would migrate in the real minigel. iii) assigning to each hypothetical line or band a color that depends on the size of the molecules it contains. That is, using a color code that is characterized because each color identifies molecules of a given size.
- This program is a method to choose the appropriate experimental conditions to separate intact chromosomal DNA molecules or large DNA fragments by Pulsed Field Electrophoresis in the miniCHEF.
- different electrophoretic patterns are obtained that allow identifying the conditions that would separate the molecules of interest in the CHEF and miniCHEF.
- This procedure does not waste reagents or biological samples. It is based on the theoretical equations that describe the migration of linear DNA in miniCHEF. These equations were obtained from real linear DNA migration data in the miniCHEF. Therefore, they correctly describe the migration of these molecules when subjected to this type of electrophoresis and do not give anomalous results of mobility inversion in the center of the gel.
- miniCHEF and miniTAFE type mini-buckets are used in which the distance between the pairs of opposite electrodes does not exceed 11.6 cm and 7.8 cm respectively and in which it is possible to apply up to 20 V / cm in the miniCHEF and 22 V / cm in the miniTAFE.
- the electrophoresis equipment that was selected to implement this part of the invention includes the miniCHEF and miniTAFE mini-buckets previously described by Riverón et al. 1995 (Riverón AM et al., Anal. Lett., 1995, vol. 28, pp1973-1991; European Patent Application EP 0 745 844, Bull. 1996/49; US Patent Application 08 / 688,607, 1995; Cuban Patent RPI No. 02/95, 1995) and whose content is fully incorporated herein by reference.
- the floor of the miniCHEF tray changed slightly.
- An agarose minigel was used that can have from 4 to 7 cm wide and in which you can place from 12 to 27 samples.
- the concentration of agarose in the minigel can vary from 0.8 to 1.5%, with a preferred concentration of 1.5%.
- the TBE 1X buffer comprises a solution of 0.089 M Tris base, 0.089 M Boric Acid and 0.002 M EDTA (sodium salt of ethylene diamino tetraacetic acid) and can be used at concentrations between 0.25 and 1X, but preferably at 0.5X.
- the buffer temperature can range between 4 and 30 ° C.
- TAX 1X buffer (0.04 M Tris-Acetate and 0.001 M EDTA) can also be used.
- any equipment constructed for this purpose can be used, which also includes the equipment described by Riverón AM et al., Anal. Lett., 1995, 28: 5; 845-860; and Riverón AM ⁇ t al., Anal. Lett., 1995, 28:11, 1973-1991.
- any power source with a maximum output of 300 watts of power can be used.
- the agarose miniblocks are placed in the wells that form the teeth of the comb that is used to form the minigel. You can use different combs and place wider or less wide samples, depending on the size of the blocks that have been prepared. Ethidium bromide is used to stain the molecules present in each band of the minigel.
- the minigel is illuminated with ultraviolet light (UV transilluminator) and the images are collected by a camera sensitive to ultraviolet light using a 550 nm filter. Any other staining procedure can also be used.
- the strength of the electric field, the buffer temperature, the pulse ramps, the electrophoresis times and the number of electric pulses applied on each ramp come from the simulator results (or method of selecting the optimal conditions of molecule separation) , or the results of any other method that the experimenter uses, including his empirical experience.
- the buffer concentration must be 0.5X TBE
- the agarose gel (Lachema) must be 1.5%
- the electric field must be up to 20 " V / cm
- the temperature must be between 4 and 30 ° C and the camera must be the miniCHEF.
- the same electric field conditions may apply and temperature provided by the simulator, but the amount of pulses of each ramp must be increased by 1.5 times and the duration of the pulses by 1.2 times. Under other conditions of electric field forces and temperature, typical band patterns of the molecules contained in the separating mixture can also be obtained in the mini-equipment.
- the preferred method for analyzing the patterns of bands that are obtained after the electrophoresis process is based on measuring the migrations of the linear DNA molecules in the minigel, and using equations 1-5 to calculate the size of the molecules
- the method starts from the base that the band patterns have been obtained in the minigeles after the electrophoresis process in the miniCHEF equipment at an electric field between 1 and 20 V / cm, temperature between 4 and 30 ° C, agarose (Lachema) 1.5%, 0.5X TBE buffer and any number of ramps
- the method consists of: i) Measuring the distances migrated by the linear DNA molecules in the minigeles after the electrophoresis and staining of the bands in said minigeles.
- Equations 2, 3 and 4 are used to estimate vr, vm and tr respectively, of the hypothetical DNA molecule.
- D and Dt are compared. If Dt is greater than D, the size of the hypothetical DNA molecule is increased by 1000 bp. 5) The sections 2) to 4) are repeated until the estimated migration for the hypothetical DNA molecule is less than or equal to the distance (D) migrated by the real molecule in the minigel.
- Process 1) - 6) is repeated for the distances measured in all bands, that is, for all molecules separated in the minigel.
- the final description of the electrophoresis process can be given not only by the electrophoretic pattern, but by a matrix that contains in the rows the order number of each separated fragment or molecule, from the bottom to the top, and in the columns the sizes, reorientation times and migration rates of all the separated molecules in the bands of the revealed electrophoretic pattern.
- the preferred method of practicing this part of the present invention could be a computer program that would provide a quick means of performing the required calculations. That is, a means of calculating the size and kinetic parameters of the groups of fragments or intact DNA molecules separated at the end of the electrophoresis.
- a program was created that allows the user to change the following variables: 1- The distances migrated in the minigel for each group of molecules, or position in the gel of each of the bands of the pattern.

- the pulse time ramps needed to separate the S. cerevisiae chromosomes were simulated in a miniCHEF cuvette that is 11.6 cm apart between the opposite electrodes. It was desired to obtain an 11-band pattern in which all S. cerevisiae chromosomes are present. It was assumed that the separation would be carried out in a 1.5% agarose minigel and that the run buffer to be used would be 0.5X TBE.
- the values reported by Goffeau (Goffeau A et al., Science, 1996, 274: 546) were taken as sizes of the chromosomes of S. cerevisiae: 230 kb (chrom. I), 270 kb (chrom. VI), 315 kb (chrom.
- the simulator determined that for an electric field strength of 10 V / cm and a buffer temperature of 20 ° C the optimal separation conditions of all S.

- the criterion of stopping the increase in the number of pulses in this example is that the smaller molecule migrates 2.5 cm.
- the simulator gives the final result that would be seen in the minigel (see pattern of bands in minigel 43 simulated in the hypothetical minigel 42 of Figure 6) if these pulse ramps and pulse numbers were applied to the set of specified molecules by the user It also provides quantitative data.
