Example 9 phage monolayer detection
The charge density wave of a metal Surface is described in solid physics as being quantized as "Surface plasmon". The physical phenomenon in which surface plasmons are excited is called "surface plasmon resonance" (surface plasmon resonance, SPR).
SPR is a physical optical phenomenon that results from the interaction of electromagnetic waves of incident light with free electrons on the surface of a metallic conductor. When a beam of light is incident into air from glass or quartz matrix, its refraction angle is greater than incident angle, and when the incident angle is greater than a specific angle (critical angle), total reflection phenomenon can be produced, so as to produce evanescent wave, and the free electrons on the surface of metal film plated on the matrix can be induced to produce surface plasma. When the incident angle is a certain value (namely resonance angle), the surface plasma resonates with the evanescent wave, the energy of the incident light is partially transferred to the surface plasma, the energy of the reflected light is rapidly reduced, a formant (dark band) appears on the reflection spectrum, and the position of the formant changes along with the change of the refractive index of the surface of the metal film. SPR is very sensitive to the refractive index of the medium attached to the surface of a metal film, and the resonance angle will be different when the properties of the surface medium are changed or the amount of attachment is changed. And directly measuring the change of the resonance angle of the surface of the drug sensitive detection chip by using an image sensor to obtain an SPR signal.
In the present invention, the inventors have combined SPR with imaging techniques using a total internal reflection microscope (IX 73, olympus, japan) system. Specifically, the laser source uses Super Light Emitting Diode (SLED), p polarized light with power of 15mW and wavelength of 660nm, total internal reflection microscope uses 60 times of oil mirror (NA=1.49), and camera uses CCD camera (Allied Vision Pike F-032). The CCD camera can detect the light and shade changes in the field of view of the chip surface, namely SPR images, calculate the changes of refractive indexes of different areas, and the gray value of the SPR images is the SPR signal value.
In the invention, phage are modified on the surface of the coated glass, and the refractive index is influenced, so that the change of the overall SPR signal value is influenced, and therefore, the quantity of phage on different drug sensitive detection chips can be evaluated by utilizing the change of the overall SPR signal value (average gray scale of SPR images) of the coated glass before and after phage modification. The results are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 variation of SPR Signal values for different drug sensitive detection chips
As can be seen from Table 1, the signal value variation of the drug sensitive detection chip #1 SPR is significantly higher than that of other drug sensitive detection chips, which indicates that the number of phages bound on the drug sensitive detection chip is the greatest, and the method of example 1 is proved to have the best phage modification effect on the coated glass, so that more phages can be bound, and the bacterial capturing efficiency is further improved, thereby facilitating the subsequent high-throughput detection of single bacteria.
Example 10 SPR-based Single cell Electrical impedance imaging
1. Phage capture
After adding 10 6 CFU/mL of escherichia coli solution (CaMHB broth culture) to the PDMS detection chamber, the bacteria were incubated at 37 ℃ for 30 minutes to allow the bacteria to be captured by phage on the chip surface (as shown in fig. 1), and then unbound bacteria were washed away using CaMHB broth.
2. Single cell electrical impedance model
When an electric field is applied to bacterial cells, the resistive component, the ion flow through the conductive bacterial cell wall and cytoplasm, and the capacitive component (i.e., plasma membrane charging) all affect the electrical impedance of the cell.
The electrical impedance model of a single bacterium includes one capacitive region, a cell membrane, and three resistive regions (cell wall, cytoplasm, and cell membrane). When potential modulation is applied, the total currentIt can be calculated as:
wherein R S is medium resistance, R wall is cell wall resistance, R cyt is cytoplasmic resistance, R m is cell membrane resistance, Is a film capacitance, V is an applied potential modulation, j isW is the angular frequency of the potential modulation.
To simplify the formula, the cell membrane resistance is not considered, and thus, the membrane charge densityThe calculation formula is as follows:
where f is the modulation frequency.
3. Electrical impedance imaging method based on SPR
In the present invention, the inventors found that the refractive index of the interface of the coated slide is linear with the film charge density of the bacterial surface to which the surface is bound under applied potential modulation, so that the SPR signal value is also linear with the film charge density of the bacterial surface under applied potential modulation.
Therefore, the calculation formula of the SPR signal intensity S is as follows:
where α is a linear coefficient.
When the membrane charge density of the bacterial surface is changed slightly, the resonance angle is changed obviously, and the SPR signal value is changed very sensitively. The SPR image may be converted to an electrical impedance image by performing a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT).
4. Electrical impedance imaging system based on SPR
As shown in FIG. 2, after capturing E.coli with phage, when potential modulation is applied, the film charge density on the E.coli surface will change with the modulation, resulting in a change in the optical refractive index of the coated slide, resulting in a periodic change in the SPR signal value.
The potential modulation technique is to control the potential of bacteria by using a standard three-electrode electrochemical measurement configuration, a potentiostat (PINE RESEARCH instruments, ARFDE 5), a coated glass slide as a working electrode, ag/AgCl as a reference electrode, a platinum (Pt) coil as a counter electrode, apply potential modulation of different frequencies and amplitudes to a sample by using an external function generator (Agilent, 33220A), and realize synchronization between electrochemical measurement and a camera by using a data acquisition card (DAQ, USB-6250,National Instruments) while recording the applied potential and a trigger signal of the camera.
Setting the voltage amplitude range of potential modulation as 500 mV, the frequency as 10 Hz, the modulation time length as 5 seconds, setting the camera acquisition frame rate as 106 fps, the imaging view field as 640 x 480 pixels, the image acquisition time length as 5 seconds, carrying out surface plasma resonance image acquisition on coliform bacteria before adding polymyxin, and converting into an electrical impedance image.
Example 11 drug sensitivity detection Using SPR-based single bacterial Electrical impedance imaging
The antibiotic and bacteria can destroy the structures such as bacterial cell walls, and the like, so that the membrane charge density on the surface of the bacteria is changed, the refractive index is changed, and the drug-resistant bacteria is not obviously changed, so that the sterilization and bacteriostasis effects of the antibiotic can be evaluated through the change of SPR signal values.
Polymyxin B was diluted to 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1,2, 4, 8 μg/mL using CaMHB broth, respectively, and added to the different detection chambers, and SPR images of bacteria were acquired every 5 minutes (as shown in fig. 3). The method comprises the steps of observing the morphological change of the escherichia coli through an optical image, processing an SPR image by using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to obtain an electrical impedance image (shown in figure 4), further obtaining the electrical impedance amplitude of the escherichia coli, and normalizing the electrical impedance amplitude after exposure to the polymyxin B based on the electrical impedance amplitude before exposure to the polymyxin B.
Taking the example of adding 4 mug/mL polymyxin B, after FFT, a curve of normalized electrical impedance amplitude of the escherichia coli with time is obtained, as shown in figure 5. The increase in the electrical impedance amplitude is due to the fact that polymyxin B changes the permeability of cell membranes, and increases the membrane charge density caused by the increase in bacterial membrane capacitance, so that the electrical impedance amplitude is increased. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the variation of the electrical impedance amplitude of the E.coli 1 was somewhat different from that of E.coli, the variation of the electrical impedance amplitude of E.coli 2 was slightly lower than that of E.coli 2, but was about 0.39, and the variation of the electrical impedance amplitude of E.coli 3 was only 0.044 after 60 minutes of exposure to polymyxin B, indicating that there was very large heterogeneity between individual cells.
The change of the electrical impedance amplitude of the coliform bacteria after 60 minutes can be calculated by the change curve of the normalized electrical impedance amplitude of the coliform bacteria along with time. Coli was exposed to 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 μg/mL polymyxin B, respectively, and observed for changes in electrical impedance magnitude before and after exposure, and 5 single bacteria were randomly selected for each antibiotic concentration, and the results are shown in fig. 6.
As can be seen from FIG. 6, the overall response of E.coli to antibiotic concentrations was relatively consistent, but individual single bacteria were different from other bacteria, such as in 1. Mu.g/mL polymyxin B and in 4. Mu.g/mL polymyxin B, with individual single cells having a greater variation in electrical impedance magnitude than other single bacteria, and exhibited significantly lower electrical impedance magnitude than other single bacteria at the same concentrations, indicating that these single bacteria were relatively resistant to the drug. The inventor eliminates the electrical impedance amplitude variation of the individual single bacteria and calculates the average value of the electrical impedance amplitude variation of other single bacteria.
It is worth noting that these isolated single bacteria indicate drug resistance variation in the population, and that a sample needs to be monitored with emphasis as the drug resistance bacteria increase in proportion.
As is further evident from FIG. 6, the average electrical impedance amplitude of E.coli to be tested was less over time at a polymyxin B concentration of 0.5. Mu.g/mL or less and more over time at a polymyxin B concentration of 1. Mu.g/mL or more, so that the minimum inhibitory concentration of E.coli to polymyxin B was determined to be 1. Mu.g/mL.
The inventor further detects the minimum inhibitory concentration of the escherichia coli by a micro-dilution method as a gold standard control, and the minimum inhibitory concentration of the escherichia coli on the polymyxin B is 1 mug/mL. It can be seen that the minimum inhibitory concentration result detected by the drug sensitivity detection method of single-bacteria electrical impedance imaging is consistent with the result of the gold standard method microdilution method.
In addition, the method is based on single-bacterium electrical impedance imaging, has the advantage of analyzing single bacterium at high flux, and can be used for researching a bacterial drug resistance mechanism and heterogeneous drug resistance.
