Summary

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and molecular techniques (16S rRNA gene sequencing) permit the identification of rare bacterial pathogens in routine diagnostics. The goal of this protocol lies in the combination of both techniques which leads to more accurate and reliable data.

Abstract

Der er en række sjældne, og derfor utilstrækkeligt beskrevet bakterielle patogener som indberettes til forårsage alvorlige infektioner, især hos immunkompromitterede patienter. I de fleste tilfælde kun få data, for det meste udgivet som case-rapporter, er tilgængelige, som undersøger betydningen af ​​sådanne patogener som et smitstof. Derfor, for at tydeliggøre den patogene karakter af sådanne mikroorganismer, er det nødvendigt at udføre epidemiologiske undersøgelser, som omfatter et stort antal af disse bakterier. De anvendes i en sådan undersøgelse overvågning metoder skal opfylde følgende kriterier: identifikation af stammerne skal være nøjagtig i henhold til den gældende nomenklatur, bør de være nemme at håndtere (robusthed), økonomisk i rutinediagnostik og de har til at generere sammenlignelige resultater blandt forskellige laboratorier. Generelt er der tre strategier til identifikation af bakteriestammer i en rutinemæssig indstilling: 1) fænotypisk identifikation kendetegner Biochemical og metaboliske egenskaber af bakterierne, 2) molekylære teknikker, såsom 16S rRNA-genet sekventering og 3) massespektrometri som en ny proteom tilgang. Da massespektrometri og molekylære metoder er de mest lovende værktøjer til identifikation af en lang række bakteriearter, er disse to metoder beskrevet. Forskud, begrænsninger og potentielle problemer, når du bruger disse teknikker diskuteres.

Introduction

Sikker identifikation af sjældne patogener i rutinediagnostikken hæmmes af, at de klassiske kulturelle og biokemiske metoder er besværlige og til tider tvivlsom. Endvidere er en diagnostisk mikrobiologiske laboratorium skal bearbejde et stort antal patogener, der spænder fra nogle få hundrede til flere tusinde, dagligt, hvilket kræver brug af automatiserede systemer. Ud over forvaltningen af ​​en høj daglig kapacitet, er der behov for nøjagtig identifikation af bakteriearter. Dette er berettiget, da de adskiller sig i deres antimikrobiel følsomhed mønster og derfor korrekt identifikation giver klinikeren med væsentlige oplysninger til at vælge passende antibiotika (f.eks Enterococcus spp., Acinetobacter spp.) 12,43.

Automatiserede mikrobielle identifikationssystemer (AMIS) anvende standardiserede sæt enzymatiske reaktioner til at karakterisere de metaboliske egenskaber af bakterielle isolater <sup> 13,15,16,26,27. Selvom de patroner, der bruges i disse systemer anvender et stort antal forskellige biokemiske reaktioner, fx 47 i GN kort af Amis anvendt i denne undersøgelse 52, denne strategi tillader sikker identifikation kun for et begrænset sæt af bakterier. Endvidere er databasen, et avanceret ekspertsystem, klart fokuseret på påvisning af relevante og yderst relevante bakterier af medicinsk betydning 13,15,16,36. Yderligere to systemer, er meget udbredt i laboratorier, gælder også denne biokemiske fremgangsmåde for bakteriel identifikation. Nylige undersøgelser viser en sammenlignelig identifikation nøjagtighed mellem amis anvendt i denne undersøgelse, og en af konkurrenterne (93,7% og 93,0%), mens den 3. Amis har en identifikation nøjagtighed på kun 82,4% på artsniveau 35. Sådanne uoverensstemmelser kan forklares ved kvaliteten af ​​de underliggende identifikation data referencer, versioner af kits og software, forskelle i metabolism og færdigheder af teknisk personale 35,36.

To automatiserede MALDI-TOF MS-systemer (MALDI-TOF mikrobielle identifikationssystem, mMIS) anvendes hovedsageligt. Disse systemer giver mulighed for påvisning af en lang række bakteriearter baseret på deres protein fingeraftryk massespektre. For eksempel databasen over de mMIS anvendte indeholder 6.000 referencespektrer. Identifikationssystemer baseret på massespektrometri tilbyder hurtig og pålidelig detektering af en bred vifte af mikroorganismer, herunder sjældne patogener 11,48,51. Til dato kun få direkte sammenligninger er tilgængelige mellem mMIS anvendt i denne undersøgelse og dens konkurrent 19,33. Ifølge Dæk et al. Begge systemer giver en tilsvarende høj identifikation nøjagtighed, men de mMIS anvendt i denne undersøgelse synes at være mere pålidelige til identifikation af arter 19.

Tilsvarende adressering molekylære teknikker velbevarede men også distinkte gener ( <em> fx 16S rDNA eller rpoB) tillader en klar arter identifikation 3,22,61. Blandt disse, 16S rDNA er den mest udbredte housekeeping-genet på grund af sin tilstedeværelse i alle bakterier 34. Dens funktion er uændret og endelig med omtrent 1500 bp, den er lang nok til at være egnet til bioinformatik 14,34. Mange forskere anser 16S rRNA-genet analyse som "gold-standard" for bakteriel identifikation 21. Dette skyldes det faktum, at kun få laboratorier anvender DNA-DNA-hybridisering teknikker til dato for identifikation af sjældne eller nye bakterier 14,34. Derudover flere og flere databaser er tilgængelige, som kan anvendes til 16S rRNA-genet analyse 50. har det imidlertid tages i betragtning, at 16S rDNA baserede påvisningssystemer har en begrænset følsomhed sammenlignet med standard-PCR-protokoller. Desuden er den molekylære tilgang er sofistikeret, tidskrævende og kræver højtuddannet personale samtdedikerede laboratoriefaciliteter og er derfor ikke let implementeres i rutinediagnostik 55. Endvidere er det blevet vist, at kombinationen af ​​mindst to forskellige metoder til bakteriel identifikation fører til meget nøjagtige stamme identifikation. Kombinationen af ​​MALDI-TOF MS og 16S rDNA-sekventering muliggør identifikation af et stort antal forskellige bakteriearter med stor nøjagtighed. For nylig kombinationen af MALDI-TOF MS og 16S rRNA-genet analyse blev præsenteret for bakteriel identifikation studere epidemiologiske spørgsmål og sjældne patogener 56.

MALDI-TOF MS er en hidtil ukendt, hurtig og billig fremgangsmåde til mikrobiologiske rutinediagnostik. Bakteriearter identifikation ved MALDI-TOF MS producerer spektre hovedsagelig består af ribosomale proteiner, men også andre "meget konserverede proteiner med hus-føring funktioner påvirket til en minimal grad af miljøforhold" 17 .Den database over denne mMIS indeholder et stort sæt af henvisning spektre og endda bakterier, der sjældent findes i kliniske iso…

Discussion

Både MALDI-TOF MS og 16S rRNA-genet sekventering giver mulighed for at identificere et stort antal forskellige bakterier. MALDI-TOF MS er en hurtig og billig metode, som er let at håndtere og store databaser af bakteriel massespektre er tilgængelige. Derfor MALDI-TOF MS er en hurtig, omkostningseffektiv og pålidelig metode til at foretage screening undersøgelser fokuserede på sjældne bakterielle patogener 17,20,39,51.
