Establishment of a Real-Time Recombinase Polymerase Amplification for Rapid Detection of Pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica.

ABSTRACT: Yersinia enterocolitica is a zoonotic proto-microbe that is widespread throughout the world, causes self-limiting diseases in humans or animals and even leads to sepsis and death in patients with severe cases. In this study, a real-time recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay for pathogenic Y. enterocolitica was established based on the ail gene. The results showed that the RPA detection for Y. enterocolitica could be completed within 20 min at an isothermal temperature of 38 °C by optimizing the conditions in the primers and Exo probe. Moreover, the sensitivity of the current RT-RPA was 10^-4 ng/μL, and the study found that the assay was negative in the application of the genomic DNA of other pathogens. These suggest the establishment of a rapid and sensitive real-time RPA method for the detection of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica, which can provide new understandings for the early diagnosis of the pathogens.

Project description:Equine piroplasmosis (EP) is a severe disease of horses caused by the tick-borne protozoa Theileria equi (T. equi) and Babesia caballi (B. caballi). Infectious carriers are not always symptomatic, meaning there is a risk to non-enzootic areas. Regulatory tests for EP include sero-epidemiological methods for equine babesiosis, but these lack specificity due to cross-reactivity with other Babesia species. In this study, we present a real-time quantitative recombinase polymerase amplification (qRPA) method for fast simultaneous detection of both T. equi and B. caballi. In this method, primers and probes targeting the 18S rRNA gene of both T. equi and B. caballi, the ema-1 gene of T. equi and the bc48 gene of B. caballi were designed and evaluated. The sensitivity of qRPA was evaluated using the pUC57 plasmid DNA containing the target gene. For the pUC57-bc48 gene DNA, the R2 value was 0.983 for the concentration range 0.2 ng (4.1 × 107 DNA copies) to 2.0 fg (4.1 × 101 DNA copies). For the pUC57-ema gene DNA, the R2 value was 0.993 for the concentration range 0.2 ng (5.26 × 107 DNA copies) to 2.0 fg (5.26 × 102 DNA copies). For the pUC57-Bc18S gene DNA the R2 value was 0.976 for the concentration range 2.0 ng (4.21 × 108 DNA copies) to 2.0 fg (4.21 × 102 DNA copies). For the pUC57-Te18S gene DNA, the R2 value was 0.952 (Fig. S3b) for the concentration range 2.0 ng (4.16 × 108 DNA copies) to 2.0 fg (4.16 × 102 DNA copies). Furthermore, a duplex qRPA analysis was developed and optimized and the results showed that primers and probes targeting for the bc48 gene of B. caballi and the 18S rRNA gene of T. equi is the best combination for a duplex qRPA analysis in one reaction. The developed duplex qRPA assay has good specificity, and had negative amplification for several similar parasite. For DNA extracted from real horse blood specimens, this qRPA method has comparable sensitivity to traditional qPCR, but a simpler and more rapid operating process to obtain positive amplification. The qRPA, including the duplex strategy described here, could allow fast identification of the EP-causing T. equi and B. caballi, showing great potential for on-site EP screening of horses.
