Background art:

with the improvement of domestic living standard, the consumption of cow milk is on the trend of increasing year by year, but at the same time, the cow milk also faces the threat of food safety. The total number of bacterial colonies is one of the important indexes of national standard GB 19301 raw milk for food safety and GB 19645 pasteurized milk for food safety national standard.

At present, the detection of microorganisms in cow milk mainly depends on a conventional bacteriological culture method, but the culture method is time-consuming and labor-consuming, the detection result is delayed, and the requirement of large-scale screening detection cannot be met. Great inconvenience and even economic loss are brought to enterprise production and quality supervision. Therefore, the traditional microbiological culture method is increasingly difficult to meet the requirement of fast and accurate detection of microorganisms in cow milk, so that the research and establishment of a fast, accurate and sensitive detection method for the total number of bacterial colonies plays an important role in food safety monitoring.

The flow analysis technology has the advantages of rapidness and high efficiency in the field of bacteria detection. The research on the application of the compound in pathogenic bacteria detection is also increasingly emphasized. However, the current methods for specifically detecting the total number of bacteria in cow milk based on flow analysis technology are few.

The invention content is as follows:

the first purpose of the invention is to provide a method for rapidly and quantitatively detecting the total number of bacteria in cow milk, which particularly meets the following requirements: 1. must be able to distinguish between bacteria and impurities; 2. the total number of bacteria can be quantitatively measured; 3. must be able to distinguish between dead and live bacteria; 4. and (5) rapidly obtaining a detection result.

The second object of the present invention is to provide a detection kit which can achieve the above object.

The method has a technical key point that: how to specifically distinguish all bacteria from somatic cells and other impurities in cow's milk.

It is well known that bacteria are divided into gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Therefore, the invention specially prepares an antigen lipoid A antibody aiming at the lipopolysaccharide characteristic structure on the surface of gram-negative bacteria and an antigen teichoic acid antibody aiming at the surface characteristic structure of gram-positive bacteria, and couples green fluorescent probes on the lipoid A antibody and the teichoic acid antibody respectively to prepare the bacteria specific fluorescent probe.

Meanwhile, the invention also screens out the membrane-blocking red fluorescent nucleic acid probe to distinguish dead bacteria from live bacteria. The total number of live bacteria in the cow milk is rapidly and quantitatively analyzed by fluorescence labeling of the bacteria in the cow milk and then multi-parameter detection of the bacteria by adopting a flow analysis technology.

In view of the above problems, the present inventors have worked as follows:

1. preparation of antibodies recognizing all gram-negative bacteria

The antibody of gram-negative bacteria coupled with the green fluorescent probe is adopted to carry out specific fluorescence labeling on the gram-negative bacteria, and the fluorescence of the gram-negative bacteria is analyzed by using a flow analyzer.

2. Preparation of antibodies recognizing all gram-positive bacteria

The method adopts an antibody of gram-positive bacteria coupled with a green fluorescent probe, carries out specific fluorescence labeling on the gram-positive bacteria, and uses a flow analyzer to analyze the fluorescence of the gram-positive bacteria.

Gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial antibodies suitable for flow analyzers are difficult to screen: first, gram-negative bacteria are of a wide variety of species. Suitable antibodies need to be able to specifically recognize all gram-negative bacterial strains. However, at present, no human has screened for such antibodies. Second, there are a wide variety of gram-positive bacteria. Suitable antibodies need to be able to specifically recognize all gram-positive bacterial strains. However, at present, no human has screened for such antibodies. Third, commercially available antibodies are mainly used in ELISA, IHC-Fr, WB and other experiments. In these experiments, the antigen-antibody reaction is mainly carried out on a stationary phase, such as a reaction plate. In the flow analysis technique, the reaction of antigen and antibody is carried out in a mobile phase. Therefore, a flow assay technique requires an antibody having good affinity.

According to the invention, a large amount of literature research and experiments are carried out at the early stage, and a lipopolysaccharide characteristic structure, namely lipoid A, on the surface of gram-negative bacteria is selected as a specific marker of the gram-negative bacteria; the surface characteristic structure of gram-positive bacteria thallus, teichoic acid, is selected as the specific marker of gram-positive bacteria.

A plurality of batches of antibodies are prepared aiming at the lipoid a, and then the gram-negative bacterial antibody which has high affinity and good specificity and is suitable for a flow analyzer is finally screened out and named Ab-G (-), and is currently stored in China institute of metrology science (example 1). A plurality of batches of antibodies are prepared aiming at teichoic acid, and the gram-positive bacterial antibody which has high affinity and good specificity and is suitable for a flow analyzer is finally screened out and named Ab-G (+), and is stored in China institute of metrology science (example 2).

The screening of the antibodies is carried out by two steps:

first, the affinity between the lipid a antibody and the lipid a was analyzed, and gram-negative bacterial antibodies having high affinity were selected (example 1). The affinity of teichoic acid antibodies and teichoic acid was analyzed and gram-positive bacterial antibodies with high affinity were selected (example 2).

Secondly, it was judged whether the gram-negative bacterial antibody reacted with gram-negative bacteria in the mobile phase (example 3). Antibodies to gram-positive bacteria were judged to react with gram-positive bacteria in the mobile phase (example 4).

The technical indexes for determining the gram-negative bacteria antibody suitable for the purpose of the invention are as follows: a) the immunogen used for preparing the antibody is lipoid A in lipopolysaccharide on the surface of gram-negative bacteria; b) the antibody may react with gram-negative bacteria within the mobile phase; c) after the green fluorescent probe is crosslinked, the antibody can perform fluorescent labeling on gram-negative bacteria, and fluorescence can be observed by a fluorescent microscope and a flow analyzer; d) the antibody should have an affinity for lipid a of less than 2 x 10-10; e) the antibody is capable of recognizing all gram-negative bacteria.

The technical indexes of the gram-positive bacteria antibody determined by the invention are as follows: a) the immunogen used for preparing the antibody is teichoic acid on the surface of gram-positive bacteria thallus; b) the antibody may react with gram positive bacteria within the mobile phase; c) the antibody can perform fluorescence labeling on gram-positive bacteria after being crosslinked by a green fluorescent probe, and fluorescence can be observed by a fluorescent microscope and a flow analyzer; d) the affinity KD of the antibody and teichoic acid should be less than 2 x 10-10; e) the antibody is capable of recognizing all gram-positive bacteria.

Both gram-negative and gram-positive antibodies meeting the above requirements can be used in the method of the invention.

3. Screening out suitable membrane-resistant red fluorescent nucleic acid probe

The dead bacteria are marked by adopting a membrane barrier red fluorescent nucleic acid probe, and fluorescence analysis is carried out by using a flow analyzer, so that the dead bacteria and the live bacteria are distinguished.

Through experimental verification and screening, the membrane-resistant red fluorescent nucleic acid probe suitable for the purpose of the invention has two characteristics: first, it cannot penetrate the cell membrane; second, it is capable of labeling bacterial nucleic acids, with red fluorescence. The cell membrane of the viable bacteria is complete, and the probe cannot enter the bacteria; the cell membrane of the dead bacteria is damaged, and the probe can enter the bacteria to mark nucleic acid. Furthermore, the probe fluoresces red and the emission spectrum does not overlap with that of the green immunofluorescent antibody. Therefore, the membrane-blocking red fluorescent nucleic acid probe can distinguish dead bacteria from live bacteria by combining with a flow analysis technology.

Therefore, the invention establishes a method for rapidly, sensitively and quantitatively detecting the total number of bacteria in milk by adopting a flow analysis technology for the first time, which is characterized by comprising the following steps: 1) identifying gram-negative bacteria in the sample: labeling gram-negative bacteria in the sample with an antibody to the gram-negative bacteria crosslinked by a chemical group using a green fluorescent probe; 2) identifying gram-positive bacteria in the sample: labeling gram positive bacteria in the sample with an antibody to the gram positive bacteria crosslinked by a chemical group using a green fluorescent probe; 3) distinguishing dead bacteria from live bacteria in the sample: marking the total number of dead bacteria by using a red fluorescent nucleic acid probe capable of blocking the membrane; 4) the red and green fluorescence signals generated by 1), 2) and 3) are counted simultaneously by a flow analyzer, so that the total number of bacteria can be detected quickly and quantitatively.

The technical indexes of the gram-negative bacteria antibody are as follows: a) the immunogen used for preparing the antibody is lipoid A in lipopolysaccharide on the surface of gram-negative bacteria; b) the antibody may react with gram-negative bacteria within the mobile phase; c) after the green fluorescent probe is crosslinked, the antibody can perform fluorescent labeling on gram-negative bacteria, and fluorescence can be observed by a fluorescent microscope and a flow analyzer; d) the antibody should have an affinity for lipid a of less than 2 x 10-10; e) the antibody is capable of recognizing all gram-negative bacteria.

The technical indexes of the gram-positive bacteria antibody are as follows: a) the immunogen used for preparing the antibody is teichoic acid on the surface of gram-positive bacteria thallus; b) the antibody may react with gram positive bacteria within the mobile phase; c) the antibody can perform fluorescence labeling on gram-positive bacteria after being crosslinked by a green fluorescent probe, and fluorescence can be observed by a fluorescent microscope and a flow analyzer; d) the affinity KD of the antibody and teichoic acid should be less than 2 x 10-10; e) the antibody is capable of recognizing all gram-positive bacteria.

The method for determining the total number of bacteria is as follows: for an event generated by one particle, if only green fluorescence is detected, determining that the particle is a viable bacterium; if two kinds of fluorescence of red and green are detected simultaneously, determining dead bacteria; if no fluorescence is detected, the particle is judged to be an impurity particle.

Counting by a flow analyzer, namely performing gating by a scattered light channel of the flow analyzer, and detecting the red and green fluorescent signals by a double fluorescent channel so as to detect the total number of bacteria; wherein the circular gate of the forward angle scattered light channel is between 500nm and 2500 nm. The method of the ring door comprises the following steps: and measuring 500nm standard microspheres and 2500nm standard microspheres by using a flow analyzer, and performing gate looping according to the signal positions of the microspheres on a histogram of a forward angle scattered light channel, wherein the lower limit is 500nm, and the upper limit is 2500 nm.
