RESUMO

Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) is a foodborne pathogen that can produce tripartite enterotoxins, which can cause a variety of diseases after infection. It is critical to rapidly and accurately detect strains with enteropathogenic potential to safeguard human health. In this study, a dual-signal visualized detection platform with fluorescence assay and paper-based lateral flow assay (LFA) based on recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), CRISPR/Cas12a system, and self-developed CRISPR nucleic acid test strips was constructed for enterotoxigenic B. cereus. The genes that encode two tripartite enterotoxins─nheA, nheB, and nheC for nonhemolytic enterotoxin and hblA, hblC, and hblD for hemolysin BL─were utilized as detection targets. The platform was capable of detecting six enterotoxin genes at the same genomic DNA level. The limits of detection for each gene were 10-3 ng/µL in fluorescence assay and 10-4 ng/µL in LFA. Furthermore, 101-102 CFU/mL of B. cereus in pure culture was detected. Additionally, a smartphone miniprogram could assist in evaluating the results in LFA. The platform demonstrated good utility by detecting B. cereus in food samples, including milk and rice. The results indicate that our RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a dual-signal visualized detection platform can quickly and easily detect B. cereus with three-component enterotoxin-producing potentials. The whole analytic process took less than 60 min without complex operation or expensive equipment.

RESUMO

Emetic Bacillus cereus (B. cereus), which can cause emetic food poisoning and in some cases even fulminant liver failure and death, has aroused widespread concern. Herein, a universal and naked-eye diagnostic platform for emetic B. cereus based on recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA)-assisted CRISPR/Cas12a was developed by targeting the cereulide synthetase biosynthetic gene (cesB). The diagnostic platform enabled one-pot detection by adding components at the bottom and cap of the tube separately. The visual limit of detection of RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a for gDNA and cells of emetic B. cereus was 10-2 ng µL-1 and 102 CFU mL-1, respectively. Meanwhile, it maintained the same sensitivity in the rice, milk, and cooked meat samples even if the gDNA was extracted by simple boiling. The whole detection process can be finished within 40 min, and the single cell of emetic B. cereus was able to be recognized through enrichment for 2-5 h. The good specificity, high sensitivity, rapidity, and simplicity of the RPA-assisted CRISPR/Cas12a diagnostic platform made it serve as a potential tool for the on-site detection of emetic B. cereus in food matrices. In addition, the RPA-assisted CRISPR/Cas12a assay is the first application in emetic B. cereus detection.
