Abstract:

In order to establish a duplex PCR method for accurately and quickly identifying common pathogens Staphylococcus and Streptococcus in clinical cases of livestock and poultry,this experiment selected nuc gene of Staphylococcus and EF-TU gene conserved fragments of Streptococcus to design a pair of specific primers,construct a duplex PCR system which could simultaneously identify Staphylococcus and Streptococcus,optimize the reaction conditions,screen out the optimal primer concentration and annealing temperature;Using this method to detect 73 other gram-positive clinical isolates,the specificity of the method was evaluated;The sensitivity of the detection method was determined by diluting and counting the cultured Staphylococcus and Streptococcus;The detection method was used to detect the clinical isolates of Staphylococcus and Streptococcus of livestock and poultry in Guizhou province.The results showed that the optimal primer addition amount was 1 μL,and the optimal annealing temperature was 56 ℃.The other 73 strains showed no amplification bands,and the duplex PCR method was better.The specificity of the sensitivity test showed that the sensitivity of Staphylococcus and Streptococcus were 1.50 ng/μL and 1.44 pg/μL,respectively.The retest results of clinical samples showed that there were 40 strains of Staphylococcus (54.79%) and 33 strains of Streptococcus (45.21%) in 73 clinical isolates,the coincidence rate with traditional bacteria separation and identification method was 97.26%.This experiment established a duplex PCR method for specific,sensitive and rapid identification of Staphylococcus and Streptococcus pathogens in Guizhou province,providing effective techniques for rapid diagnosis and epidemiological investigation of clinical cases.
