Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for transporting and preserving a sample of bacteria that may be anaerobic and / or aerobic bacteria, in particular a sample of clinical specimens containing anaerobic bacteria, allowing the preservation of the bacterium with a view to its culture and / or or subsequent isolation in the context of a test for detecting and quantifying said bacteria in a biological analysis laboratory.
- the present invention more particularly relates to a transport and preservation medium composition useful for this process.
- the present invention relates to a medium for transport and / or preservation under aerobic conditions at cold or at ambient temperature which must preserve the strict anaerobic bacteria after at least 48 hours, preferably at least 72 hours, or even more preferably at least 7 hours. days in said transport and storage medium to allow the isolation and detection or even subsequent cultivation of strict anaerobic bacteria for which the oxygen is toxic and which must be transported or kept cold in an oxygen-free medium.
- a bacterial sample can not be preserved in a bacterial culture medium because in such a medium, in the absence of culture conditions, especially at an appropriate temperature generally above room temperature, the bacteria are destroyed by the culture medium. .
- the AMIES or STUART liquid media dedicated to the transport of GRAM- bacteria are known to ensure viability for at least 48 hours at room temperature or preferably at 4-8 ° C. and compatible with a subsequent culture of aerobic bacteria.
- these media are only compatible with detection by molecular biology (DNA) analysis because they do not protect against the effect of oxygen.
- DNA molecular biology
- a solid agar medium is used, in particular based on agar containing a phosphate salt and sodium and calcium salts whose supposed interest is to have a buffer effect that avoids pH variations.
- the present invention relates to the transport and preservation of bacteria whose growth is sensitive to the oxygen tension, in particular bacteria that are poorly tolerant of high oxygen tensions and for which optimal preservation of said bacteria requires an atmosphere of oxygen.
- microaerophilic bacteria that is to say that they are not capable of cultivating under an atmosphere comprising the ambient oxygen concentration which is about 21%, especially between 1% and 20%, most commonly at about 2-2.5%, and
- the strict anaerobic bacteria that is to say that they are not able to cultivate in the presence of oxygen or in concentrations lower than microaerophilic concentrations, especially strictly less than 1%, most commonly less than 0.1%; ideally 0%.
- To cultivate strict anaerobic bacteria it is necessary either to cultivate them in incubators not containing oxygen, or in tubes which have been deoxygenated and they only grow at the bottom of the tube.
- intracellular bacteria Among bacteria that can be cultivated in a microaerophilic atmosphere, intracellular bacteria are more particularly distinguished, but also extracellular bacteria.
- extracellular bacteria a bacterium that has the ability to multiply within a host cell.
- Intracellular bacteria capable of growing under certain conditions in acellular media, are referred to as “facultative intracellular bacteria”.
- intracellular bacterium is intended herein to mean a bacterium that has the capacity to multiply within a host cell and in a cell-free medium.

Description
Procédé et milieu liquide de transport et conservation de bactéries. Method and liquid medium for transporting and preserving bacteria
La présente invention concerne un procédé de transport et conservation d'échantillon de bactéries pouvant être des bactéries anaérobies et/ou aérobies, notamment d'échantillon de prélèvements cliniques contenant des bactéries anaérobies, permettant la préservation de la bactérie en vue de sa culture et/ou isolement ultérieure dans le cadre d'un test de détection et quantification desdites bactéries dans un laboratoire d'analyse biologique. La présente invention concerne plus particulièrement une composition de milieu de transport et conservation utile pour ce procédé. The present invention relates to a method for transporting and preserving a sample of bacteria that may be anaerobic and / or aerobic bacteria, in particular a sample of clinical specimens containing anaerobic bacteria, allowing the preservation of the bacterium with a view to its culture and / or or subsequent isolation in the context of a test for detecting and quantifying said bacteria in a biological analysis laboratory. The present invention more particularly relates to a transport and preservation medium composition useful for this process.
Plus particulièrement, la présente invention concerne un milieu de transport et/ou de conservation en conditions aérobies au froid ou à température ambiante qui doit préserver les bactéries anaérobies strictes après au moins 48h, de préférence au moins 72h, voire de préférence encore au moins 7 jours dans ledit milieu de transport et conservation pour permettre l'isolement et la détection voire la culture ultérieure de bactéries anaérobies strictes pour lesquelles l'oxygène est toxique et qui doivent être transportées ou conservées au froid dans un milieu dépourvu d'oxygène. More particularly, the present invention relates to a medium for transport and / or preservation under aerobic conditions at cold or at ambient temperature which must preserve the strict anaerobic bacteria after at least 48 hours, preferably at least 72 hours, or even more preferably at least 7 hours. days in said transport and storage medium to allow the isolation and detection or even subsequent cultivation of strict anaerobic bacteria for which the oxygen is toxic and which must be transported or kept cold in an oxygen-free medium.
On ne peut pas conserver un échantillon bactérien dans un milieu de culture de bactérie car dans un tel milieu en l'absence de conditions de culture, notamment à température appropriée en général supérieur à la température ambiante, les bactéries sont détruites par le milieu de culture. A bacterial sample can not be preserved in a bacterial culture medium because in such a medium, in the absence of culture conditions, especially at an appropriate temperature generally above room temperature, the bacteria are destroyed by the culture medium. .
C'est pourquoi, dans le cas où l'on veut transporter les prélèvements bactériens destinés à une inoculation en vue de rechercher les bactéries anaérobies strictes éventuelles qu'il contient, pour une chance d'isolement optimale, on est obligé de faire deux échantillonnages, un pour les bactéries aérobies et un autre pour les bactéries anaérobies strictes. En effet, pour le cas des bactéries
aérobies, on utilise généralement un milieu de transport liquide à base de tampon Phosphate ou glycérophosphate et de sels de sodium et calcium. Therefore, in the case where we want to transport the bacterial samples intended for inoculation to search for any strict anaerobic bacteria it contains, for a chance of optimal isolation, it is necessary to do two sampling one for aerobic bacteria and another for strict anaerobic bacteria. Indeed, for the case of bacteria aerobic, generally uses a liquid transport medium based on phosphate or glycerophosphate buffer and sodium and calcium salts.
On connaît, en particulier, les milieux AMIES ou STUART liquides dédiés au transport de bactéries GRAM- en assurant la viabilité pendant au moins 48h à température ambiante ou de préférence à 4-8°C et compatible avec une culture ultérieure de bactéries aérobies. En revanche pour les bactéries anaérobies, ces milieux ne sont compatibles qu'avec une détection par analyse de biologie moléculaire (ADN) car ne protègent pas de l'effet de l'oxygène. Pour être efficaces pour le transport des bactéries anaérobies, ils doivent contenir de l'agar permettant aux bactéries anaérobies d'être protégées de l'oxygène. Ainsi pour les bactéries anaérobies strictes, on utilise un milieu solide gélosé, notamment à base d'Agar contenant un sel de phosphate et des sels sodium et calcium dont l'intérêt supposé est d'avoir un effet tampon qui évite les variations de pH. In particular, the AMIES or STUART liquid media dedicated to the transport of GRAM- bacteria are known to ensure viability for at least 48 hours at room temperature or preferably at 4-8 ° C. and compatible with a subsequent culture of aerobic bacteria. On the other hand, for anaerobic bacteria, these media are only compatible with detection by molecular biology (DNA) analysis because they do not protect against the effect of oxygen. To be effective for the transport of anaerobic bacteria, they must contain agar allowing anaerobic bacteria to be protected from oxygen. Thus, for strict anaerobic bacteria, a solid agar medium is used, in particular based on agar containing a phosphate salt and sodium and calcium salts whose supposed interest is to have a buffer effect that avoids pH variations.
Ce milieu solide dans lequel on dépose (on « pique ») le prélèvement bactérien permet de soustraire les bactéries anaérobies présentes à l'effet de l'oxygène. On connaît en particulier le milieu CARY BLAIR ou AMIES gélosé avec ou sans charbon. Ces milieux de transport de bactéries anaérobies sont relativement coûteux et donc finalement pas utilisés de façon systématique. Après transport, les échantillons bactériens sont inoculés dans les milieux de cultures en conditions adaptées à la culture des bactéries anaérobies. Pour le transport et la conservation au froid, le problème est similaire, que cette conservation soit faite à température ambiante de 0 à 30°C, plus généralement à 20°C +/- 5°C, ou refroidi et isolé au froid de +4°C à +8°C, voire congelé à -20°C qui sont les températures usuelles de conservation permettant la préservation des bactéries aérobies et anaérobies.
Plus particulièrement, la présente invention concerne le transport et la conservation de bactéries dont la croissance est sensible à la tension en oxygène, notamment des bactéries qui tolèrent mal des tensions élevées d'oxygène et pour lesquelles une conservation optimale de ladite bactérie requière une atmosphère d'incubation à teneur en oxygène relativement réduite par rapport à la teneur en oxygène de l'air voire des bactéries anaérobies strictes pour lesquelles l'oxygène est toxique et qui doivent être cultivées en absence totale d'oxygène ou ne tolérant que de faibles concentrations d'oxygène. Il convient en effet de noter que certaines bactéries considérées comme anaérobie strictes peuvent parfois tolérer de faibles concentrations en oxygène. This solid medium in which the bacterial sample is deposited ("spades") makes it possible to subtract the anaerobic bacteria present to the effect of oxygen. CARY BLAIR or AMIES agar medium with or without charcoal is particularly known. These transport media of anaerobic bacteria are relatively expensive and therefore not used systematically. After transport, the bacterial samples are inoculated into the culture media in conditions suitable for the culture of anaerobic bacteria. For transportation and cold storage, the problem is similar, whether this preservation is done at room temperature from 0 to 30 ° C, more generally at 20 ° C +/- 5 ° C, or cooled and cold-insulated from + 4 ° C to + 8 ° C, or even frozen at -20 ° C which are the usual storage temperatures allowing the preservation of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. More particularly, the present invention relates to the transport and preservation of bacteria whose growth is sensitive to the oxygen tension, in particular bacteria that are poorly tolerant of high oxygen tensions and for which optimal preservation of said bacteria requires an atmosphere of oxygen. relatively low oxygen content incubation with respect to the oxygen content of the air or even strict anaerobic bacteria for which oxygen is toxic and which must be cultured in the total absence of oxygen or tolerating only low concentrations of oxygen. 'oxygen. It should be noted that some bacteria considered strict anaerobic can sometimes tolerate low oxygen concentrations.
On distingue donc parmi les bactéries sensibles à l'oxygène : One can therefore distinguish among oxygen-sensitive bacteria:
- les bactéries microaérophiles c'est-à-dire qu'elles ne sont pas capables de cultiver sous une atmosphère comprenant la concentration d'oxygène ambiante qui est de environ 21%, notamment entre 1% et 20%, le plus communément à environ 2-2,5%, et microaerophilic bacteria, that is to say that they are not capable of cultivating under an atmosphere comprising the ambient oxygen concentration which is about 21%, especially between 1% and 20%, most commonly at about 2-2.5%, and
- les bactéries anaérobies strictes c'est-à-dire qu'elles ne sont pas capables de cultiver en présence d'oxygène ou dans des concentrations inférieures aux concentrations de microaérophilie, notamment strictement inférieure à 1%, le plus communément inférieure à 0.1%, idéalement 0%. Pour cultiver les bactéries anaérobies strictes, il faut soit les cultiver dans des étuves ne comportant pas d'oxygène, soit dans des tubes qui ont été désoxygénés et elles ne poussent alors qu'au fond du tube. the strict anaerobic bacteria, that is to say that they are not able to cultivate in the presence of oxygen or in concentrations lower than microaerophilic concentrations, especially strictly less than 1%, most commonly less than 0.1%; ideally 0%. To cultivate strict anaerobic bacteria, it is necessary either to cultivate them in incubators not containing oxygen, or in tubes which have been deoxygenated and they only grow at the bottom of the tube.
Parmi les bactéries anaérobies strictes, on cite plus particulièrement les bactéries extracellulaires, c'est à dire des bactéries qui qui ne peuvent vivre qu'à l'extérieur de cellules. Among the strict anaerobic bacteria, mention is made more particularly of extracellular bacteria, ie bacteria which can live only outside cells.
Parmi les bactéries cultivables en atmosphère microaérophile, on distingue plus particulièrement, les bactéries intracellulaires, mais aussi des bactéries extracellulaires.
On entend ici par «bactérie intracellulaire», une bactérie qui a la capacité de se multiplier au sein d'une cellule hôte. Les bactéries intracellulaires, ayant la faculté de croître dans certaines conditions dans des milieux acellulaires, sont dénommées «bactéries intracellulaires facultatives». Among bacteria that can be cultivated in a microaerophilic atmosphere, intracellular bacteria are more particularly distinguished, but also extracellular bacteria. Here is meant by "intracellular bacteria", a bacterium that has the ability to multiply within a host cell. Intracellular bacteria, capable of growing under certain conditions in acellular media, are referred to as "facultative intracellular bacteria".
On entend ici par «bactérie intracellulaire facultative», une bactérie qui a la capacité de se multiplier au sein d'une cellule hôte et en milieu acellulaire. The term "optional intracellular bacterium" is intended herein to mean a bacterium that has the capacity to multiply within a host cell and in a cell-free medium.
On entend ici par «bactérie extracellulaire», une bactérie qui n'a pas la capacité de se multiplier au sein d'une cellule hôte et se cultive exclusivement en milieu acellulaire. By "extracellular bacterium" is meant here a bacterium that does not have the capacity to multiply within a host cell and is grown exclusively in acellular medium.
Plus particulièrement, la présente invention concerne la conservation de bactéries anaérobies strictes et des bactéries microaérophiles. On entend ici par «atmosphère microaérophile», de l'air appauvri en oxygène avec une proportion molaire en oxygène inférieure à 10%, de préférence 5%, de préférence encore inférieure à 2,5%. Pour les bactéries anaérobies strictes, la teneur en oxygène doit être proche de 0%, notamment inférieure à 0.1%, comme mentionné ci-dessus, la tolérance à de très faibles quantités d'oxygène étant variable selon les espèces de bactéries anaérobies. More particularly, the present invention relates to the conservation of strict anaerobic bacteria and microaerophilic bacteria. The term "microaerophilic atmosphere" is used herein to mean oxygen-depleted air with a molar proportion of oxygen of less than 10%, preferably 5%, more preferably less than 2.5%. For strict anaerobic bacteria, the oxygen content must be close to 0%, especially less than 0.1%, as mentioned above, the tolerance to very small amounts of oxygen being variable according to the species of anaerobic bacteria.
Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un nouveau milieu de transport et/ou de conservation liquide qui permette de préserver les bactéries, y compris les bactéries anaérobies strictes en vue de permettre de les cultiver et isoler ultérieurement aussi bien les bactéries aérobies que les bactéries anaérobies, et ce après un transport ou conservation en conditions aérobie à température ambiante ou au froid, soit à une tension en oxygène qui est celle de l'air ambiant pendant au moins 48h, de préférence au moins 72h, voire 7 jours.
Les inventeurs ont découvert de façon fortuite que le mélange de plusieurs composés minéraux et de substances à effet antioxydant, et notamment l'ajout de composé anti-oxydant dans un milieu liquide de transport de bactéries standard, permettait de préserver au froid ou à température ambiante des bactéries anaérobies strictes et de les cultiver et isoler après transport en conditions aérobies, soit à un taux d'oxygène d'environ 21%. The object of the present invention is to propose a novel transport and / or liquid storage medium which makes it possible to preserve bacteria, including strict anaerobic bacteria, in order to allow them to be cultured and subsequently isolate both aerobic and non-aerobic bacteria. anaerobic bacteria, and this after transport or storage under aerobic conditions at room temperature or cold, or at an oxygen tension which is that of the ambient air for at least 48 hours, preferably at least 72 hours, or even 7 days. The inventors have fortuitously discovered that the mixture of several mineral compounds and substances with antioxidant effect, and in particular the addition of antioxidant compound in a liquid medium transporting standard bacteria, allowed to preserve cold or at room temperature strict anaerobic bacteria and cultivate them and isolate after transport under aerobic conditions, ie at an oxygen level of about 21%.
La présente invention fournit donc un procédé de transport de prélèvements contenant des bactéries anaérobies strictes sous forme d'un milieu liquide préservant la viabilité et la possibilité de culture de ces bactéries anaérobies strictes après un transport sous atmosphère d'oxygène et ce même à température ambiante. The present invention therefore provides a method of transporting samples containing strict anaerobic bacteria in the form of a liquid medium preserving the viability and the possibility of culturing these strict anaerobic bacteria after transport under an oxygen atmosphere, even at room temperature. .
On entend ici par « composé antioxydant », un composé à propriété antioxydante c'est-à-dire qui diminue ou empêche l'oxydation d'autres substances impliquées dans le procédé et le milieu de la présente invention dans les conditions du procédé de la présente invention. By the term "antioxidant compound" is meant herein a compound with an antioxidant property that is to say which decreases or prevents the oxidation of other substances involved in the process and the medium of the present invention under the conditions of the process of the invention. present invention.
Les inventeurs formulent l'hypothèse non encore totalement élucidée et démontrée que l'effet du mélange de tous ces composés pourrait provenir d'une limitation de l'apparition de radicaux libres oxygénés toxiques et/ou d'une réaction des composés antioxydants avec lesdits radicaux libres oxygénés toxiques, ayant, dans les deux cas, un effet inhibiteur de la toxicité desdits radicaux à rencontre de la croissance de ladite bactérie. Ces radicaux libres oxygénés résultant eux-mêmes de l'action de l'oxygène sur des substances des bactéries et/ou du milieu de transport seraient responsables des difficultés de conservation en présence d'oxygène et de culture ultérieure. The inventors formulate the hypothesis not yet fully elucidated and demonstrated that the effect of the mixture of all these compounds could come from a limitation of the appearance of toxic oxygen free radicals and / or a reaction of the antioxidant compounds with said radicals. toxic oxygenated free, having, in both cases, an inhibitory effect of the toxicity of said radicals against the growth of said bacterium. These oxygenated free radicals themselves resulting from the action of oxygen on bacteria substances and / or transport medium would be responsible for the difficulties of conservation in the presence of oxygen and subsequent culture.
Plus particulièrement, les inventeurs ont découvert le mélange de tous ces composés confère un effet tampon au regard de la teneur en oxygène pour les bactéries anaérobies strictes.
Les inventeurs ont en effet testé plusieurs combinaisons de différentes molécules à différentes concentrations dont certaines présentant une activité antioxydante et ont découvert que certains composés mélangés entre eux à certaines concentrations autorisaient le transport en milieu liquide en atmosphère aérobie (air ambiant) des dites bactéries. More particularly, the inventors have discovered the mixture of all these compounds imparts a buffering effect with respect to oxygen content for strict anaerobic bacteria. The inventors have in fact tested several combinations of different molecules at different concentrations, some of which have antioxidant activity and have discovered that certain compounds mixed together at certain concentrations allowed the transport in a liquid medium in an aerobic atmosphere (ambient air) of said bacteria.
Plus précisément, la présente invention fournit un procédé de transport et/ou conservation d'échantillons de bactéries capable de préserver la viabilité de bactéries anaérobies, pendant au moins 48h, de préférence au moins 72h, voire 7 jours, à température froide ou ambiante notamment de -20°C à +30°C, de préférence à température ambiante de 4°C à 20°C, caractérisé en ce que l'on conditionne ledit échantillon de bactéries dans un récipient contenant un milieu de transport et conservation liquide, sous atmosphère contenant de l'oxygène, ledit milieu de transport et conservation étant tamponné à PH de 7 à 7,5, comprenant au moins dans de l'eau distillée : More specifically, the present invention provides a method for transporting and / or preserving bacterial samples capable of preserving the viability of anaerobic bacteria, for at least 48 hours, preferably at least 72 hours, or even 7 days, at cold or ambient temperature, in particular from -20 ° C to + 30 ° C, preferably at room temperature from 4 ° C to 20 ° C, characterized in that said sample of bacteria is conditioned in a container containing a transport medium and liquid preservation, under oxygen-containing atmosphere, said transport and storage medium being buffered at pH 7 to 7.5, comprising at least in distilled water:

The bacteria tested to illustrate the invention are all strict anaerobic bacteria particularly known to be difficult to service during their transport and storage, namely Clostridium tertium, Clostridium butyricum, Clostridium ramosum, Clostridium perfringens, Clostridium sordelli, Clostridium jeddamassiliensis, Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides intestinalis, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Ruminococcus gnavus, Fusobacterium necrophorum, Fusobacterium nucleatum and Alistipes finegoldii.
Dans des essais comparatifs, ces bactéries ont été mises d'une part dans des milieux standards de conservation à savoir un tampon PBS, et des milieux CARY BLAIR et AMIES (milieu ESWAB de la société COPAN, Italie) d'autre part et parallèlement dans les milieux de transport A et B de l'exemple 1 conservées à température ambiante comme décrit ci-après. In comparative tests, these bacteria were firstly placed in standard preservation media, namely a PBS buffer, and CARY BLAIR and AMIES media (ESWAB medium from COPAN, Italy), on the other hand and in parallel with the transport media A and B of Example 1 stored at room temperature as described below.
Le milieu AMIES comprend dans de l'eau distillée: The AMIES medium includes in distilled water:
- Chlorure de sodium : 3.0 g/L - Sodium chloride: 3.0 g / L
- Disodium de phosphate : 1.15 g/L - Thioglycolate de sodium : 1.0 g/L - Phosphate disodium: 1.15 g / L - Sodium thioglycolate: 1.0 g / L
- Monopotassium de phosphate : 0.2 g/L - Monopotassium phosphate: 0.2 g / L
- Chlorure de potassium : 0.2 g/L - Potassium Chloride: 0.2 g / L

- Eau distillée qsp 1 litre PH : 8.2 à 8.6. a) Préparation d'un récipient contenant un prélèvement contenant un échantillon de dites bactéries anaérobies. Le milieu préparé dans l'exemple 1 est aliquoté en tubes à raison de 1ml par tube. Une gélose de chaque bactérie à tester est récoltée sur une boite de gélose préalablement incubée à 37°C en anaérobiose puis diluées dans 1ml de milieu de transport préparé comme dans l'exemple 1. On procède de façon similaire dans des tubes contenant 1ml de PBS et des milieux CARY BLAIR et AMIES. b) Après différentes durées de conservation, à savoir : après 24h, 48h et 72h et 7jours, 10 μΙ de chaque suspension est dilué en jusqu'à 10"12 puis ΙΟΟμΙ de chaque dilutions sont inoculées sur gélose columbia au sang et incubées en anaérobiose. Après 48h d'incubation à 37°C, la dernière dilution permettant de compter moins de 10 colonies par gélose permet d'évaluer la concentration initiale de bactéries vivantes. Distilled water qsp 1 liter PH: 8.2 to 8.6. a) Preparation of a container containing a sample containing a sample of said anaerobic bacteria. The medium prepared in Example 1 is aliquoted into tubes at a rate of 1 ml per tube. An agar of each bacterium to be tested is collected on a plate of agar previously incubated at 37 ° C. under anaerobic conditions and then diluted in 1 ml of transport medium prepared as in Example 1. The procedure is similarly carried out in tubes containing 1 ml of PBS. and CARY BLAIR and AMIES circles. b) After different storage times, namely: after 24h, 48h and 72h and 7days, 10 μl of each suspension is diluted to 10 "12 and then ΙΟΟμΙ of each dilutions are inoculated on columbia agar with blood and incubated anaerobically After 48 hours of incubation at 37 ° C., the last dilution making it possible to count fewer than 10 colonies per agar makes it possible to evaluate the initial concentration of living bacteria.
Les résultats des tests sont indiqués dans les tableaux ci-après différents durés de conservation à différentes températures de conservation. The results of the tests are indicated in the tables below different storage times at different storage temperatures.
On observe que la viabilité de bactéries cultivables dans les milieux de transport selon l'invention est globalement nettement supérieure à celle observée dans le tampon PBS et des milieux CARY BLAIR et AMIES, cette survie est préservée de façon améliorée dans tous les cas et en particulier après conservation à +4°C pendant 7 jours.
