A method for the rapid detection of verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 in stools was evaluated. Strains possessing Shiga toxin-2 (stx-2) genes were isolated from stool samples and amplified using oligonucleotide primers. Stools spiked with cultured E. coli O157:H7 (strain 298 or strain 1646) were detected to be polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive at 10(2) cfu per 0.1 g of stool. Stool samples from patients and healthy carriers showed a high correlation between positive results for a PCR and the presence of verotoxin-producing E. coli O157:H7, confirmed by isolation of serotype O157:H7 on sorbitol MacConkey medium (10 of 10 stool samples). These PCR products could be detected using a BIAcore 2000 surface plasmon resonance device using peptide nucleic acid as a sensor probe. In this report we use this method for the rapid detection of DNA from significant pathogenic organisms.
对一种用于快速检测粪便中产志贺毒素大肠杆菌O157:H7的方法进行了评估。从粪便样本中分离出携带志贺毒素2(stx-2)基因的菌株,并使用寡核苷酸引物进行扩增。接种培养的大肠杆菌O157:H7(菌株298或菌株1646)的粪便,每0.1克粪便中含有10² 菌落形成单位(cfu)时,检测到聚合酶链反应(PCR)呈阳性。患者和健康携带者的粪便样本显示,PCR阳性结果与产志贺毒素大肠杆菌O157:H7的存在之间具有高度相关性,这通过在山梨醇麦康凯培养基上分离出O157:H7血清型得到证实(10份粪便样本中有10份)。这些PCR产物可以使用BIAcore 2000表面等离子体共振装置,以肽核酸作为传感器探针进行检测。在本报告中,我们使用这种方法快速检测重要致病生物体的DNA。
