Definitions

  • EHEC enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli strains
  • the invention relates to a test kit for the detection of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli strains (EHEC).
  • EHEC enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli strains
  • EHEC Escherichia coli
  • Enterohemorrhagic strains of Escherichia coli have been used as food pathogens in the past few years mainly in the USA, but also in some other countries, by causing sporadic, but often dramatic, and more and more frequent occurrences since 1993 Outbreaks of illnesses attracted attention. Infections occurred primarily through the consumption of meat that was not fully roasted (hamburgers), but also through the consumption of raw milk, yoghurt, sausage, apple cider, lettuce, vegetables or seedlings.
  • enterohaemorrhagic E. coli infection ranges from watery to bloody diarrhea to kidney damage such as hemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS), which may lead to death (Griffin, PM, and Tauxe, RV (1991) : The Epidemiology of Infections Caused by Escherichia coli O157: H7, Other Enterohemorrhagic E. coli, and the Associated Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome. Epidemiol Rev 13: 60-98). Naturally, children, old people and people with immunodeficiency are particularly at risk.
  • HUS hemolytic uraemic syndrome
  • Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli is usually detected using classic microbiological, biochemical and serological methods (smear on plate, biochemical characterization, agglutination tests, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay - ELISA) and cell culture methods (e.g. toxin test with Vero cells). Recently, however, detection using modern molecular biological or immunological methods has become increasingly important (Paton, AW, and Paton, JC (1998): Detection and Characterization of Shiga Toxigenic Escherichia coli by Using Multiplex PCR Assays for stxj, stx 2 , eaeA , Enterohemorrhagic E.
  • enterohaemorrhagic E. coli strains have some genetic peculiarities that distinguish them from non-pathogenic E. coli strains, they can be specifically detected using molecular biological methods that use these differences.
  • EHEC The most important genes typical for EHEC are the toxin genes SLT1 and SLT2 and their variants. Their gene products are largely responsible for the symptoms of an infection with EHEC. Another important gene for a pathogenicity factor of EHEC is the eaeA-Gcn. Since the vast majority of epidemics are caused by EHEC strains of the serotype O157: H7, the detection of this type is particularly important. Genes that are characteristic of this serotype are, for example, the genes rfl> E, a gene from the biosynthetic pathway of the O157 antigen, vm ⁇ fliC, the gene for the H7 antigen. At least the two genes for the toxins SLT1 and SLT2 and the 0157-specific gene rfbE are important for a test for routine food testing in order to clearly identify the dangerous pathogens as EHEC.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a test instrument with which the genes required for the detection of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli strains or the serotype 0157 can be detected in a single reaction without major expenditure of equipment and time.
  • a control should be included in order to check the performance of the test.
  • the use of mutagenic or toxic substances should be avoided in this detection.
  • the aim is to provide a reliable tool for routine analysis in the quality control of food but also for the characterization of unknown E. coli strains isolated from any source.
  • the aim is to have a test instrument that enables even simply equipped laboratories to prove EHEC within a working day in the shortest possible time, with little hands-on time and without expensive equipment.
  • test kit which each has a pair of primers for amplifying at least a part of the SLT1 gene, the SLT2 gene, of the rfbE gene, the e ⁇ -4 gene and a control gene in a single reaction and each contain both an oligonucleotide as a capture probe and an oligonucleotide as a detector probe for hybridization of the amplificates obtained with the primers at room temperature, all capture probes on a common solid surface are immobilized and the detector probes are provided with a visually detectable marking.
  • the described molecular biological detection of EHEC by means of the test kit according to the invention offers significant advantages. Since there is neither a 100% reliable selection medium nor a clear biochemical test for EHEC, detection using microbiological, biochemical and serological methods is difficult. Other bacterial genera such as Escherichia hermannii or Hafnia spp. have, for example, a similar biochemical phenotype as O157: H7, or there are often cross-reactions of anti-O157 sera with other bacteria such as Citrobacter freundii or Yersinia enterocolitica.
  • Int J Food Microbiol 67: 71-80 is based on the fact that for the implementation of the detection reaction and for the Evaluation of the result requires no expensive special equipment such as microarray scanners and image processing systems or special software, hybridization cassettes or hybridization ovens, since the hybridization takes place at room temperature and the evaluation is carried out with the naked eye.
  • Another advantage is the use of capture probes in combination with directly labeled detection probes, so that there is a good specificity from the outset, which may only be guaranteed for microarrays by using at least two capture probes per amplificate (Chizhikov, V. et al, supra ).
  • a purification of amplificates or a removal of non-incorporated labels, as is essential when using fluorescence-labeled primers or nucleotides in microarrays, is in the the use of the test kit according to the invention is also not necessary, which reduces hands-on time and material consumption.
  • test kit is its exceptional sensitivity compared to other existing molecular biological detection methods for EHEC.
  • Fratamico et al. J Food Prot 63 (8): 1032-1037
  • a multiplex PCR with 5 genes from EHEC with which a sensitivity of 1 cfu / g food (prepared) could be achieved, namely with an enrichment time of 12 hours, testing of a single strain and using agarose gel electrophoresis instead of hybridization.
  • hybridization not only increases the sensitivity of a molecular biological test by signal amplification during detection, but also the specificity.
  • the increased number of primers used can lead to unspecific reactions which lead to unspecific bands in gels and can severely impair test interpretation (Chizhikov, V., Rasooly, A., Chumakov, K., and Levy , DD (2001): Microarray analysis of microbial virulence factors. Appl. Environments. Microbiol. 67 (7): 3258-3263).
  • German standard DIN10134 "General process-specific requirements for the detection of microorganisms with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in food” stipulates, for example, that a PCR result must be verified by hybridization or sequencing. Occurring bands of the apparently correct size can Using agarose gel electrophoresis alone leads to false positive results, however, many molecular biological methods for the detection of EHEC do not meet the above-mentioned condition, but only use agarose gels to evaluate a test result (JP-A - 2001-095576; Hu, Y, Zhang, Q.
