Development of a membrane-array method for the detection of human intestinal bacteria in fecal samples 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
A membrane-array method was developed for the detection of human intestinal bacteria in fecal samples without using the expensive microarray-arrayer and laser-scanner. The 16S rDNA sequences of 20 predominant human intestinal bacterial species were used to design oligonucleotide probes. Three 40-mer oligonucleotides specific for each bacterial species (total 60 probes) were synthesized and applied to nitrocellulose membranes. Digoxigenin (DIG)-labeled 16S rDNAs were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from human fecal samples or pure cultured bacteria using two universal primers, and were hybridized to the membrane-array. Hybridization signals were read by NBT/BCIP color development. The 20 intestinal bacterial species tested were Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, B. vulgatus, B. fragilis, B. distasonis, Clostridium clostridiiforme, C. leptum, Fusobacterium prausnitzii, Peptostreptococcus productus, Ruminococcus obeum, R. bromii, R. callidus, R. albus, Bifidobacterium longum, B. adolescentis, B. infantis, Eubacterium biforme, E. aerofaciens, Lactobacillus acidophilus,Escherichia coli, and Enterococcus faecium. The two universal primers were able to amplify full size 16S rDNA from all of the 20 bacterial species tested. The hybridization results indicated that the membrane-array method is a reliable technique for the detection of predominant human intestinal bacteria in the fecal samples. The result was also confirmed by using specific PCR methods for these bacteria. 相似文献

The human gastrointestinal tract harbors an extremely diverse and complex microbial ecosystem. Most of the existent data about the enteric microflora have been generated using stool samples, but the collection and storage of fecal samples are often problematic. The influence of the storage of stool samples on the bacterial diversity and the degradation of bacterial DNA was analysed in this study. Stool samples from 5 healthy volunteers were exposed to different storage temperatures and durations. The bacterial diversity and the amount of intact bacterial DNA were analysed by single-stranded conformation polymorphism analysis (SSCP) and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), both using a 16S rDNA approach. Additionally, biopsy specimens were taken from 3 of the 5 individuals to compare fecal and mucosal flora. The bacterial diversity of the fecal flora and the total number of bacteria were significantly reduced after 8 and 24 hours at both room temperature and 4°C. The mucosa-associated bacterial microflora showed substantial differences compared with the fecal flora. The observed alterations of fecal flora during storage point to the difficulty of the molecular analysis of the bacterial diversity and the enumeration of bacterial cells in fecal samples. 相似文献

Colorectal cancer accounts for more than 10% of all cancer deaths but is curable, if detected early. We reported previously on a stool-based screening test in which DNA from stool samples is subjected to genome analysis; sensitivity of the test has been limited in part by inefficiency of retrieving DNA from stool. Our aim was to test the impact of a new purification method that would increase the yield of human DNA from stool. DNA from 86 cancer and 100 non-cancer subjects (diagnosed by colonoscopy) were purified from stool with a new method for DNA recovery based on sequence-specific capture with acrylamide gel immobilized capture probes as well as with a previously developed magnetic bead-capture procedure. The new purification method gives an average 5.4-fold increase in the quantity of human DNA that can routinely be retrieved from fecal samples. The increased recovery of DNA corresponds with an increase in assay sensitivity from 53% (CI: 42 to 64%) to 70% (CI: 59 to 79%); P = 0.0005 (by McNemar's test), with no change in specificity. The newly developed sample preparation method mitigates a major problem in detecting rare cancer-associated genetic changes in heterogeneous clinical samples such as stool. 相似文献

Intestinal members of the family Enterobacteriaceae were eliminated in five human volunteers treated with oral ofloxacin for 5 days. No emergence of resistant Enterobacteriaceae was observed. Counts of group D streptococci were significantly reduced. Colonization by Candida sp. was observed in all five volunteers during ofloxacin treatment. The anaerobic flora was fairly stable from one sample to another before treatment and was not substantially modified by ofloxacin. 相似文献

Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria spread worldwide and became major concern for antibiotic treatment. Although surveillance reports in general hospitals and long-term care facilities are increasing, their frequencies in individuals with severe motor and intellectual disabilities (SMID) are so far unknown. In this study, we examined the frequency of ESBL in stool samples collected from 146 asymptomatic SMID subjects hospitalized in a single institution. With their clinical information, we evaluated possible risk factors for ESBL colonization. From 146 fecal samples, ESBL-producing bacteria were isolated in 45 cases (31%). Drug sensitivity testing showed that 82% of the isolates were resistant to levofloxacin but were sensitive to tazobactam/piperacillin and cefmetazole. The most frequent genotype was CTX-M-9 detected in 36/45 (80%). A high degree of disability, antibiotic use within three months before sampling and post-tracheostomy were statistically significant risk factors. Tube feeding was also strongly correlated with ESBL colonization (p < 0.001) and associated with lower micro-organismic diversities. Our findings are the first to reveal a high prevalence of ESBL in the fecal samples of SMID individuals and suggest possible relationships between high degree disability, tube feeding and latest histories of antibiotic use. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Congenital deficiency of factor (F) VIII results in the inherited X-linked bleeding disorder hemophilia A. More than 900 different mutations are reported in the hemophilia A mutation database with the largest number of mutations being single nucleotide substitutions distributed throughout the gene. Complicating the molecular characterization of this disease is the complexity of the F8 gene, the mutational heterogeneity, and technical limitations of the current mutation detection techniques. OBJECTIVE: Development of a DNA oligonucleotide microarray-based technique for F8 gene analysis to detect hemophilia A mutations. METHODS: To construct the oligonucleotide DNA microarray system: a total of 720, one base pair overlapping, 25-mer perfect match probes were designed from six exons of the F8 gene. Twenty-two different F8 gene mutations previously identified by CSGE and DNA sequence analysis were tested by using a loss-of-signal analysis approach. Differentially labeled wild type and hemophilic samples were co-hybridized to the array. Sequence alterations were detected by quantifying relative losses of test sample hybridization signals to the perfectly matched probes. RESULTS: A total of 22 different F8 mutations were tested. To test the sensitivity of the system, a blinded study was performed on 16 of the samples. F8 gene mutations can be detected with 96% efficiency with this microarray system. CONCLUSION: This proof-of-principle study has demonstrated that a F8 DNA microarray platform is an alternative gene mutation analysis approach that has a high sensitivity, and reproducibility. The methodology is, however, expensive and time consuming, and with the reduction in sequencing costs, direct sequencing is now the most cost and time efficient strategy for hemophilia A mutation analysis. 相似文献

This report presents evidence for enteric bacterial adaptation to genetically controlled environmental factors in the individual human host. Human feces contains bacterial enzymes that degrade water-soluble A, B, and H antigens, and both the presence and the specificity of ABH blood group antigens in human gut mucous secretions are genetically determined for each individual. In this study, partially purified fecal blood group antigen-degrading enzymes from 31 subjects of known blood group and secretor status were obtained and their relative specificity for A, B, and H antigen was measured. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The implementation of cost-effective intervention strategies for zoonotic protozoa relies on the development of sensitive and accurate diagnostic methods. We carried out a study to evaluate the accuracy of a PCR method for the detection of Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts in fecal samples from cattle. METHODS: Fecal samples were spiked with different numbers of oocysts and the limit of detection of the method was determined. Two methods of DNA extraction were assessed: glass beads and freeze-thawing using liquid nitrogen. A nested PCR approach was developed targeting the Cryptosporidium SSU rRNA and TRAP-C2 genes. Agreement between the diagnosis of Cryptosporidium spp. at the SSU rRNA and TRAP-C2 loci was quantified using the kappa-coefficient. RESULTS: Compared with the freeze-thawing method, the glass beads method was found to be a better way of extracting DNA from Cryptosporidium oocysts (sensitivities were 83 and 100%, respectively). The limits of detection for glass beads and freeze-thaw were low, 1 and 10 oocyst/g fecal samples, respectively. Forty-six percent of the field samples previously classified as negative for Cryptosporidium parvum by the flotation-concentration and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methods showed DNA with the PCR protocol. CONCLUSION: Primers for SSU rRNA are more successful in producing an amplification than primers for the TRAP-C2 gene which makes the former PCR protocol the approach of choice for detecting Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts in field samples. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The detailed characterization of virus DNA is a challenge, and the genotyping that has been achieved to date has only been possible because researchers have sent a great deal of time and effort to do so. Instead of the simultaneous detection of hundreds of viruses on a single high-density DNA-chip at very high costs per chip, we present here an alternative approach using a well-designed and tailored microarray which can establish whether or not a handful of viral genes are present in a clinical sample. METHODS: In this study we applied a new concept of microarray-based, optimized and robust biochemistry for molecular diagnostics of the herpesviruses. For comparison, all samples were genotyped using standard procedures. RESULTS: The biochemical procedure of a knowledge-based, low-density microarray was established based on the molecular diagnostics of human herpes viruses: herpes simplex virus (HSV) HSV-1, HSV-2, varicella zoster virus (VZV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), and HHV-6. The study attempted to optimize parameters of microarray design, surface chemistry, oligonucleotide probe spotting, sample labeling and DNA hybridization to the developed DNA microarray. The results of 12 900 hybridization reactions on about 150 configured herpes virus microarrays showed that the established microarray-based typing procedure was reproducible, virus-specific and sufficiently sensitive with a lower limit of 100 viral copies per mL sample. CONCLUSIONS: The developed method utilizes low-fluorescence background coverslips, epoxy surface chemistry, standardized oligonucleotide probe spotting, PCR-labeling with Cy3 of isolated DNA, array hybridization, and detecting of specific spot fluorescence by an automatic microarray reader. We expect the configured microarray approach to be the method for high-throughput associated studies on human herpes viruses. 相似文献

While DNA microarrays have become a widely accepted tool for mRNA expression monitoring, their use in rapid diagnosis of bacterial and viral pathogens is only emerging. So far, insufficient sensitivity and high costs have been the major limiting factors preventing more widespread use of microarray platforms in direct testing of clinical samples. In the present study, a total of 339 samples, among them 293 clinical specimens from animals and humans, were examined by the ArrayTube (AT) DNA microarray assay to detect chlamydial DNA and identify the species of Chlamydia and Chlamydophila involved. Samples included nasal and conjunctival swabs, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded and fresh organ tissue, milk, feces and cell culture. Notably, the AT test was shown to detect mixed infections in clinical samples. The calculated median sensitivity of 0.81 over the entire panel of clinical samples was comparable to conventional 16S PCR, but slightly lower than real-time PCR and other PCR assays. However, when a panel of long-time stored swab samples was excluded from the calculation, the sensitivity was clearly higher (0.87) and equivalent to that of real-time PCR. Altogether, the data demonstrate the suitability of this DNA microarray assay for routine diagnosis. 相似文献

Current typing methods of Chlamydia (C.) trachomatis are mainly based on the diversity of the ompA gene, which is coding for the major outer membrane protein A. The present study aimed at facilitating genotyping of strains of this obligate intracellular human pathogen by developing a DNA microarray assay using the ArrayTube? format for individual samples and the ArrayStrip? format for higher throughput.The new test is exploiting multiple discriminatory sites by involving a total of 61 oligonucleotide probes representing genotype-specific polymorphisms in variable domains 1, 2 and 4 of the ompA gene. After multiplex amplification of these domains using biotinylated primers, the sample is hybridized in the microarray vessel under highly stringent conditions. The resulting binding pattern is genotype specific, thus allowing direct identification. We were able to show that DNA from each of the currently accepted genotypes (serovars) yielded a unique, theoretically expected and distinct hybridization pattern. The assay was also shown to be highly sensitive as a dilution containing the equivalent of 1 inclusion-forming unit was still correctly genotyped. In addition, when 62 clinical samples were examined and compared to PCR-RFLP typing results, the genotype was correctly identified by the DNA microarray in all cases.The present test is easy to handle and economically affordable, and it allows genotyping of C. trachomatis to be accomplished within a working day, thus lending itself for epidemiological studies and routine diagnosis. 相似文献

The ecological impact of roxithromycin given orally at 300 mg/day on the intestinal floras in six human volunteers was studied. The resulting fecal concentrations of active roxithromycin were in the range of 100 to 200 micrograms/g of feces. Consecutive modifications in the composition of the fecal floras were limited to a decrease in counts of total members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. The rest of the intestinal floras, including the predominant anaerobic floras, changed little. No overgrowth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, staphylococci, fungi, or highly erythromycin-resistant strains of the family Enterobacteriaceae was observed. The strains of Enterobacteriaceae and of anaerobes isolated during treatment were not markedly more resistant to roxithromycin than those isolated before treatment started. Changes in intestinal resistance to colonization by exogenous microorganisms in gnotobiotic mice inoculated with human fecal flora were studied and were also found to be minimal. The impact of oral roxithromycin on the intestinal microbiota appears to be weaker than that previously observed with oral erythromycin, perhaps because the concentrations of roxithromycin in the feces were lower than those previously found for erythromycin. 相似文献
