A Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) DNA chip for the diagnosis of genitourinary infections

The results of an investigation aimed at the development of a DNA chip for the detection of genitourinary infections are described. Through analysis of over 35,000 clinical cases, 14 pathogens which are most abundantly found among Koreans were selected and candidate sequences for capture probes were accordingly chosen by considering their sequences and β-globin house-keeping gene. Among this group, the most suitable capture probe sequences were selected by employing repeated chip tests in which they are immobilized on a glass chip by using a recently developed novel gold nanoparticles-based method. A multiplex PCR method was established to generate fluorescence-labeled sequences for all 14 pathogens along with the β-globin gene. By using optimized hybridization conditions, the final chip was constructed and employed to diagnose reliably both single and multiple infections in clinical human samples for 14 target pathogens. The results show that the novel chip methodology serves as a highly reliable and convenient tool for the diagnosis of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs). Furthermore, this study has its great significance in that it demonstrates the entire process from statistical analysis of a large number of clinical cases to the final development of STD DNA chip just ready to be applied or commercialized in the clinical diagnostic field.

Multiple detection of food-borne pathogenic bacteria using a novel 16S rDNA-based oligonucleotide signature chip

There have been many attempts to develop sensitive and accurate techniques for the detection and diagnosis of pathogenic bacteria using nucleic acid-based technology. To achieve efficient multiple detection of seven selected food-borne pathogens, we assessed the respective 16S rDNA pathogen specific sequences using an oligonucleotide-based signature array. Strategic optimal design of specific capture probes was achieved by using the characteristic first variable region. To assess the specificity of this pathogen detection system, we employed a two-step experimental strategy. Under conditions established through experiments with chemically synthesized model targets comprising both conserved and variable regions of 16S rDNA, we confirmed the validity of this system using real 16S rDNA targets. Detection with real targets was successfully performed using our system, and better specificity was obtained compared to experiments with model targets. Moreover, the subtypes of Vibrio pathogens were successfully classified. We developed a two-dimensional visualization plot tool for positive control and specific spots, which allowed facile and minute differentiation between spot intensities. Repeated array formats were employed to ensure experimental uniformity, and included the statistical p-value criterion for pathogen discrimination. The present results thus indicate that our novel oligonucleotide-based signature chip detection system can be employed for the effective detection of multiple pathogens.     

Metagenomics for broad and improved parasite detection: a proof-of-concept study using swine faecal samples

Efficient and reliable identification of emerging pathogens is crucial for the design and implementation of timely and proportionate control strategies. This is difficult if the pathogen is so far unknown or only distantly related with known pathogens. Diagnostic metagenomics – an undirected, broad and sensitive method for the efficient identification of pathogens – was frequently used for virus and bacteria detection, but seldom applied to parasite identification. Here, metagenomics datasets prepared from swine faeces using an unbiased sample processing approach with RNA serving as starting material were re-analysed with respect to parasite detection. The taxonomic identification tool RIEMS, used for initial detection, provided basic hints on potential pathogens contained in the datasets. The suspected parasites/intestinal protists (Blastocystis, Entamoeba, Iodamoeba, Neobalantidium, Tetratrichomonas) were verified using subsequently applied reference mapping analyses on the base of rRNA sequences. Nearly full-length gene sequences could be extracted from the RNA-derived datasets. In the case of Blastocystis, subtyping was possible with subtype (ST)15 discovered for the first known time in swine faeces. Using RIEMS, some of the suspected candidates turned out to be false-positives caused by the poor status of sequences in publicly available databases. Altogether, 11 different species/STs of parasites/intestinal protists were detected in 34 out of 41 datasets extracted from metagenomics data. The approach operates without any primer bias that typically hampers the analysis of amplicon-based approaches, and allows the detection and taxonomic classification including subtyping of protist and metazoan endobionts (parasites, commensals or mutualists) based on an abundant biomarker, the 18S rRNA. The generic nature of the approach also allows evaluation of interdependencies that induce mutualistic or pathogenic effects that are often not clear for many intestinal protists and perhaps other parasites. Thus, metagenomics has the potential for generic pathogen identification beyond the characterisation of viruses and bacteria when starting from RNA instead of DNA.     

Enzyme-linked synthetic oligonucleotide probes: non-radioactive detection of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in faecal specimens.

Synthetic oligonucleotides, complementary to unique sequences in the heat stable enterotoxin gene of Escherichia coli specific for humans, were prepared with a 30-atom spacer arm and a 3' terminal sulfhydryl group which was coupled to bromoacetyl-derivatized alkaline phosphatase. The resulting direct enzyme-linked oligonucleotide probes, containing one enzyme molecule per oligonucleotide, successfully diagnosed enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in clinical specimens by using a modified colony hybridization method and a colorimetric assay. The procedure is rapid, simple and reliable with a sensitivity equivalent to that using 5'-terminally labelled [32p]-oligonucleotide probes. The results indicate that the enzyme-labelled oligonucleotide probes should be applicable to the routine diagnosis of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and possess the potential for the detection of other microbial pathogens.
