摘要:

目的 利用小鼠对2株大肠埃希菌工程菌Nissle1917和BW25113在肠道的定植能力与定植效率进行评价,以筛选出肠道定植效率高的菌株,为后续利用成簇的规律性间隔的短回文重复序列(clustered regularly interspersed short palindromic repeats,CRISPR)及其相关蛋白(CRISPR associated protein,Cas)系统的工程菌消减体内耐药菌的研究奠定基础。 方法 每株工程菌的实验共取70只18~20 g的ICR小鼠,雌雄各半,操作时小鼠区分性别并随机分为7个处理组,每组10只(6只实验,4只对照)。实验组灌胃2×10 10个工程菌共200 μL,对照组灌胃等体积的PBS。灌胃后1、3、6、12、24、48、72 h分别取小鼠的肠系膜淋巴结、胃、回盲部、结肠组织及内容物,分别采用平板划线、荧光镜检和PCR法检测工程菌,比较Nissle1917和BW25113这2菌株在小鼠体内的定植能力与效率。 结果 灌胃后前6个时段(1、3、6、12、24、48 h)中,3种方法检测到2株菌在胃、回盲部、结肠组织有定植,淋巴结未检到目标菌株;而72 h有且仅有Nissle1917菌定植于回盲部和结肠组织,Nissle1917和BW25113两株菌的定植效率分别为100%和0。 结论 Nissle1917菌定植效率高于BW25113菌,且能较长时间定植于回盲部和结肠组织,提示其可作为防控耐药基因传播用CRISPR系统的备选载体菌。

Abstract:

Objective The colonization ability and efficiency of two Escherichia coli ( E. coli)-engineered strains, Nissle1917 and BW25113, in the intestine were evaluated in mice, we aimed to screen out strains for subsequent research on clustered regularly interspersed short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) system-engineered bacteria to eliminate drug-resistant bacteria via high intestinal colonization efficiency. Methods Seventy ICR mice (18–20 g), half male and half female, were randomly divided into 7 treatment groups by gender, with 10 mice in each group (6 for experiment and 4 for control). The experimental group was gavaged with 2×10 10 of the engineered strains at a final volume of 200 μL, and the control group was gavaged with an equal volume of PBS. At 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after gavage, the mesenteric lymph nodes, stomach, ileocecal and colonic tissues, and intestinal contents of the mice were removed. The two E. coli strains were detected using plate inoculation, fluorescence microscopy, and PCR amplification to compare their in vivo colonization ability and efficiency. Results At 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after gavage, both E. coli strains had colonized in the stomach, ileocecal and colonic tissues as detected using the three methods, and no leakage of E. coli fluid from the lymph nodes was observed; at 72 hours, only Nissle1917 colonized in the ileocecal and colonic tissues, comparing the colonization efficiency of the two E. coli strains, that of Nissle1917 was 100% and that of BW25113 was 0 at 72 hours. Conclusion Nissle1917 has a higher colonization efficiency than BW25113 and can colonize in the mucosal surface of ileocecal and colonic tissues for a long time, suggesting that it can be used as a carrier for the CRISPR system to prevent and control drug resistance gene transmission.
