Accurate quantification of subsp. HN019, a clinically validated probiotic strain conferring immune modulation, gastrointestinal health, and gut barrier integrity benefits, is essential for diverse applications. To address the critical need for strain-specific detection, we developed a quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay targeting a unique single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within the K gene, identified through comparative whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis of 31 subsp. strains. The assay exhibited exceptional specificity, distinguishing HN019 from 19 other strains. Sensitivity tests indicated a detection limit of 0.5 pg of DNA and 10 CFU/mL of bacterial cells, making it suitable for industrial-scale applications. Additionally, the method exhibited strong repeatability, reproducibility across different qPCR platforms, and resistance to interference from high cell density of subsp. DSMZ 10140. Successful quantification of HN019 in complex multi-strain probiotic powders confirmed its practical reliability. This work establishes a rapid, robust, and scalable tool for precise probiotic strain tracking, addressing critical quality control and regulatory compliance needs within the rapidly expanding probiotic industry.
准确量化亚种HN019至关重要,它是一种经过临床验证的益生菌菌株,具有免疫调节、胃肠道健康和肠道屏障完整性等益处,可用于多种应用。为满足对菌株特异性检测的迫切需求,我们开发了一种定量PCR(qPCR)检测方法,该方法针对K基因内的一个独特单核苷酸多态性(SNP),此SNP是通过对31个亚种菌株进行比较全基因组测序(WGS)分析确定的。该检测方法具有卓越的特异性,能将HN019与其他19种菌株区分开来。敏感性测试表明,其DNA检测限为0.5 pg,细菌细胞检测限为10 CFU/mL,适用于工业规模应用。此外,该方法具有很强的重复性、在不同qPCR平台上的再现性以及对亚种DSMZ 10140高细胞密度干扰的抗性。在复杂的多菌株益生菌粉末中成功量化HN019证实了其实际可靠性。这项工作建立了一种快速、稳健且可扩展的工具,用于精确追踪益生菌菌株,满足了快速发展的益生菌行业内关键的质量控制和法规合规需求。
