Description
Summary:ObjectiveTo establish a rapid, sensitive and specific detection method for 4 diarrheal bacteria (Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholera and Escherichia coli O157:H7) by the Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats associated protein 13a (CRISPR-Cas13a) combined with recombinant enzyme-mediated isothermal amplification (RAA), called RAA-Cas13a.MethodsIn this study, the specific primer for RAA and CRISPR RNA (crRNA) of 4 different diarrheal bacteria were designed. The sample nucleic acids were amplified by RAA, and the amplification products were then detected with CRISPR-Cas13a. Compared with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR), the sensitivity and specificity of the RAA-Cas13a method were evaluated.ResultsThe established RAA-Cas13a detection method for Shigella, Vibrio cholera and Escherichia coli O157:H7 had the detection limit of 10 copies/μL, the detection limit for Salmonella was 1 copy/μL, and each bacteria did not have cross-reaction with the other ten bacteria. Meantime, the detection of the RT-qPCR and RAA-Cas13a were highly consistent in 200 suspected samples and 40 artificial simulation samples (Kappa=0.927 and 1.000, respectively).ConclusionThe established RAA-Cas13a detection method has the advantages of high sensitivity and strong specificity. It can quickly detect and screen diarrheal diseases caused by 4 pathogenic bacteria.
