TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to a field of a biological detection technology, in particular, relates to a universal probe, a primer-probe set and a kit.


BACKGROUND ART

A pathogenic microorganism is a microorganism that can cause an infectious disease or even a communicable disease after invading a human body. Common pathogenic microorganisms include prion, bacterium, mycoplasma, chlamydia, rickettsia, fungi, spirochete and virus. After repetitive exposure to some chemotherapeutic drugs, a reactivity of these pathogenic microorganisms continues to decrease, so that finally the pathogenic microorganisms can resist the drug without being killed or inhibited, and thus develop a tolerance to drugs, that is, a drug tolerance or drug resistance. A resistant gene is a nucleotide sequence encoding a drug resistance property, and is located on a chromosome of the bacterium or a plasmid outside the chromosomal. If the pathogenic microorganisms develop the drug resistance, an efficacy is commonly reduced or completely lost, which directly affect a therapeutic effect against the disease. Thus, establishing a systematic, efficient, and fast detection method for identifying a nucleic acid of a plurality of pathogenic microorganisms and resistant genes can effectively promote the development of the medical industry.


At present, a conventional detection method of nucleic acids of the pathogenic microorganisms and resistant genes mainly adopts a real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), including a fluorescent dye method (SYBR Green I method is a representative) and a fluorescent probe method (TaqMan method is the representative). The SYBR Green I method is widely used due to advantages such as convenient use and low price, but a biggest disadvantage thereof is a lack of a specificity, that is, a dye can be combined with any dsDNA, which affects an accuracy of a quantitative result. Different from the fluorescent dye method, the TaqMan method detection involves an addition of a fluorescent probe, which works through fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and has a high specificity and suitability for multiplex qPCR. However, a traditional TaqMan probe technology usually requires one probe for each of the targets. However, when detecting multiple targets in one fluorescence channel, if there are too many probes labeled with a same fluorescence, it will lead to a high background signal and decreased contrast, resulting in difficult signal interpretation difficult and limited number of targets that can be detected.


SUMMARY

In view of this, a technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a primer-probe set and a kit containing the primer-probe for a digital PCR detection of a plurality of pathogenic microorganisms and resistant genes. The present application provides a digital PCR platform based on a 7-color fluorescence channel and in combination with multiplex digital PCR technology to achieve a coverage of multiple bacterial strains or drug resistance sites for each species.
