Abstract

Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni), a foodborne pathogenic bacterium, is among the most prevalent causes of human gastroenteritis globally. We developed and evaluated a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method to detect C. jejuni. Outer primers and inner primers were designed based on the hipO gene. The ratio between the concentrations of the inner and outer primers and the reaction temperature were then optimized to achieve optimal assay conditions. The analytical specificity tests showed that, among 12 genera of 74 pure bacterial culture strains, only four C. jejuni isolates could be detected, whereas no amplification was observed in C. coli, C. lari, and the other 11 genera of foodborne pathogens (). Moreover, the LAMP assay showed a higher analytical sensitivity (34.2 fg μL^-1) than the conventional PCR method (342 fg μL^-1). The limit of detection of C. jejuni based on the LAMP assay was 10³ CFU g^-1 in the artificially spiked samples of chicken meat. In conclusion, the developed LAMP assay will be a powerful and practical tool for the fast, specific, and sensitive detection of C. jejuni.

1. Introduction

The burden of foodborne diseases continues to be a substantial and serious health risk in both developing and developed countries despite the adoption of food safety measures [1]. The high incidence of campylobacteriosis, as well as its duration, makes it highly problematic. The Campylobacter genus, which can cause campylobacteriosis, includes the most common pathogens causing gastroenteritis in humans worldwide [2]. The main way in which humans are infected is generally believed to be the consumption of undercooked meat products, as well as raw milk or contaminated dairy products and water [3, 4].

Campylobacter spp. infection has been estimated to cause 500 million infections globally every year [5]. Within the genus Campylobacter, C. jejuni and C. coli have been reported to be the most frequent human and animal pathogens [6].

Because of the fastidious and slow growth of C. jejuni, conventional culture testing techniques are arduous and time-consuming [7]. In addition, the major concerns are false-negative results and the insufficient sensitivity of the culture-based methods. Presently, nucleic acid-based molecular techniques, such as PCR and qPCR (real-time quantitative PCR), are used to detect foodborne pathogens [8]. However, the need for sophisticated and expensive instruments and the purity of the template DNA prevent them from broad application for routine detection [9]. In addition, there is a cross-reaction between bacterial antigens when serological techniques are used [10].

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is an innovative technique that amplifies nucleic acid under isothermal conditions taking advantage of autocycling strand displacement behavior of the Bst DNA polymerase [11, 12]. LAMP can be run easily in any heating block or dry bath at constant temperature instead of a thermocycler needed in PCR or real-time PCR. Furthermore, LAMP produces approximately 10³-fold higher amounts of DNA within an hour than PCR and comparably low susceptibility to inhibitors [9, 13]. Thus, LAMP can be a rapid and simple tool for detecting and identifying foodborne bacterial pathogens.

The selection of target genes determined the analytical specificity of LAMP. The hipO gene encoding hippuricase that is exclusively within the C. jejuni genome has been used as an identification marker for C. jejuni [14]. This study developed a simple, fast, sensitive, and highly specific LAMP assay to detect C. jejuni using specific primers designed based on the conserved gene hipO. We then evaluated the performance and compared it with conventional PCR. Finally, LAMP was used to distinguish C. jejuni from other pathogens in artificially spiked samples of chicken meat.

2. Materials and Methods

2.1. Bacterial Strains and Culturing

74 isolates, including four C. jejuni strains, additional five strains of Campylobacter spp., and 65 strains of other 11 species, were used for the analytical specificity testing. Details of the 74 strains are listed in Table 1. Campylobacter strains (C. jejuni, C. coli, and C. lari) were grown on Columbia blood agar substituted with 5% sheep blood under microaerophilic environment (85% N₂, 10% CO₂, and 5% O₂) at 42°C for 48 hours. Other strains were cultivated under optimal culture conditions as described previously [15]. C. jejuni in the enrichment broth containing the raw chicken samples were isolated and cultured through the method of scribing on the plate.

2.2. Genomic DNA Extraction

The genomic DNA used as a template was extracted from a freshly grown bacterial culture following the manufacturer’s protocol with a Takara MiniBEST Bacteria Genomic DNA Extraction Kit. 60 raw chicken meat samples including hearts, thighs, skin samples, and wings that were randomly purchased from the traditional market were used. Approximately 2 g chicken meat samples were added to 18 mL of Brucella enrichment broth followed by incubation at 42°C in anaerobic incubators for 30 h. The bacteria were collected by centrifugation at 8000 g for 5 min for subsequent genomic DNA extraction. The quantity and quality of DNA were tested using a NanoDrop spectrophotometer ND-1000 (NanoDrop Technologies, Wilmington, DE). To assess the sensitivity of the LAMP and PCR assays, 10-fold dilution series of gDNA from C. jejuni (ATCC33252) starting from ng/μL to ng/μL was used in the amplification reactions. Furthermore, the DNA from 74 tested isolates used to evaluate the analytical specificity is listed in Table 1.

2.3. LAMP Primer Design and LAMP Assay

The online tool PrimerExplorer V4 (http://primer explorer.jp/elamp4.0.0/index.html) was employed. A set of four primers (F3, B3, FIP, and BIP) targeting six sequences on the hipO gene according to the sequence database in GenBank (NC_002163.1) was designed. Subsequently, the specificity of primers was determined in silico using the BLAST tool (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/). Table 2 lists the sequence, position, and length of the primers. The primer synthesis service was provided by Sangon Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China). The final optimized LAMP test was performed using the WarmStart LAMP kit containing Bst 2.0 WarmStart DNA polymerase (New England Biolabs, USA). A 50x fluorescent dye (New England Biolabs, USA) is also supplied to enable real-time fluorescence measurement of the LAMP amplification. The LAMP reaction was conducted in a 25 μL mixture containing 2.5 μL of 10x LAMP Primer Mix (1.2 μM FIP/BIP, 0.2 μM F3/B3), 12.5 μL of Warm Start LAMP 2x Master Mix, 0.5 μL of 50× fluorescent dye, 2 μL of target gDNA, and 7.5 μL of sterile double distilled water (ddH₂O) for 60 min at 65°C, followed by 80°C for 5 min, to terminate the reaction on a LightCycler 480 Real-Time PCR System (Roche Applied Science, USA). The melting curve was monitored on the device. The LAMP products were detected visually by turbidity and 2% agarose gel electrophoresis.

2.4. PCR Assay

Conventional PCR was carried out with outer primers F3 and B3 (Table 2). The PCR assay was conducted in 25 μL of reaction mixture containing 12.5 μL of 2x Premix master (Takara Taq™ Version 2.0, Takara Biotechnology Co.), 1 μL of 20 μM outer primers F3/B3 each, 1 μL of template genomic DNA (gDNA), and supplementary ddH₂O. The reaction was carried out using the cycling protocol of 95°C for 5 min and subjected to 30 s at 94°C, 30 s at 55°, and 30 s at 72°C for 35 cycles followed by a final extension cycle for 10 min at 72°C. The amplified products were subjected to 2% agarose gel electrophoresis.

2.5. Validation of the LAMP Assay with Spiked Chicken Meat Sample

The assay’s detection limit in chicken samples was determined as previously described [15]. Details were as follows. The chicken meat was purchased from a local supermarket. The C. jejuni (ATCC33252) strain was freshly prepared on blood agar with cultivation under microaerobic atmosphere conditions as described above. Serial 10-fold dilutions with sterile phosphate-buffered saline were prepared, and colony-forming units were calculated through direct plating. Furthermore, the desired concentration of C. jejuni (ATCC33252) pure cultures (10⁷-10¹ CFU/mL) was spiked onto 25 g of fresh chicken meat. The samples in 225 mL of buffered peptone water (BPW) in a plastic stomacher bag were homogenized with a stomacher. DNA from 1 mL homogenate in chicken samples with bacterial concentrations in a range from 10⁷ to 10¹ CFU/g was isolated using the DNeasy mericon Food kit (QIAGEN, Germany) as recommended by the manufacturer. These experiments were conducted in triplicate.

3. Results

3.1. Optimization of Experimental Conditions for the LAMP Assay

Genomic DNA from the C. jejuni strain ATCC33252 was used as the template to ascertain optimal reaction conditions of LAMP. First, LAMP assays were carried out with shortage of one or two of the outer and inner primers. There was no amplification in the absence of FIP or BIP primer, while without F3 or B3, the amplification was slightly delayed, and the efficiency decreased when below 65°C for 60 min. Optimal amplification was achieved when both internal primers and external primers were present. Then, the LAMP assays were performed with ratios of inner primers to outer primers ranging from 1 : 2 to 1 : 8. A ratio of 1 : 6 resulted in ideal amplification (Supplementary Figure 1). In addition, reaction mixtures were incubated at different temperatures ranging from 61 to 66°C for 60 min. The optimum temperatures were 65°C and 66°C (Supplementary Figure 2). Therefore, a reaction temperature of 65°C was used for the subsequent experiments.

3.2. Analytical Specificity of the LAMP Assay

74 pure culture reference strains were used to evaluate the analytical specificity (Table 1). All four strains of C. jejuni (ATCC33252, ATCCBAA-1153, ATCC33291, and ATCC33560) were detected but not any of the other 70 non-C. jejuni strains (Figure 1(a)). Likewise, white precipitate in positive reactions was observed visually, but no visible precipitate was seen in the 70 non-C. jejuni LAMP reaction tubes (Figure 1(b)). The amplification products of those positive by LAMP reaction showed typical ladder patterns analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis (Figure 1(c)). None of the 70 non-C. jejuni bacterial strains yielded false-positive results in the assays, indicating their very high analytical specificity. Furthermore, 74 DNA templates were detected by PCR simultaneously, which resulted in a 238 bp hipO-specific fragment of C. jejuni. No amplicon was obtained from the 70 non-C. jejuni strains (Figure 1(d)). The results of PCR were consistent with those of the LAMP assays.

Others were the non-C. jejuni bacterial strains and negative control (NC) which are listed in Table 1.

3.3. Sensitivity of LAMP Assay

The standard strain C. jejuni ATCC 33252 was used. The sensitivity of the LAMP and PCR was performed using a 10-fold serial diluted positive DNA template of C. jejuni (ATCC33252) with DNA concentrations ranging from 34.2 ng/μL to ng/μL. The amplification product of LAMP and PCR was detected by real-time fluorescence monitoring and agarose gel electrophoresis, respectively. The results are shown in Figure 2. In the LAMP experiment, the melting temperature (Tm) of seven series (10⁰-10⁶) of the specific amplification was around 82.5°C and therefore was specific (Figure 2(b)). From the products of LAMP, fluorescent amplification curves and multiple DNA bands in agarose gel electrophoresis were observed with ATCC 33252 gDNA from to ng/μL, but not from ng/μL (Figures 2(a) and 2(c)). In addition, the 238 bp hipO gene amplicons were produced from to ng/μL, but not from ng/μL by conventional PCR (Figure 2(d)). In conclusion, the sensitivity of the LAMP assay for hipO gene was 34.2 fg μL^-1 ( ng/μL), and that of PCR was 342 fg μL^-1 ( ng/μL) from pure culture, indicating that LAMP showed 10 times greater sensitivity than PCR (Figure 2(d)). We also evaluated the application of established LAMP reaction to detect C. jejuni from artificially contaminated samples. In spiked chicken meat samples, the detection limits targeting the hipO gene were 10³ CFU g^-1.

3.4. Comparison of Using the Real-Time LAMP Assay to Detect C. jejuni and Culture-Based Assay Methods in Raw Chicken Meat

A total of 60 chicken meat samples were tested to compare the two methods of detecting C. jejuni. 20 C. jejuni-positive chicken samples were detected using the culture-based method, whereas 19 samples were detected positive with one as a false-negative case by the LAMP assay (Table 3). Two negative results detected by the LAMP assay were negative in the culture-based assay. Thus, the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity for the real-time LAMP to detect C. jejuni based on hipO gene were 95%, 95%, and 95%, respectively. Also, the real-time LAMP had a positive predictive value (PPV) of 90.48% and negative predictive value (NPV) of 97.43%.

4. Discussion

Campylobacter, a leading cause of foodborne human gastrointestinal diseases, has become a global concern for food safety [6, 16, 17]. The incidence and prevalence of Campylobacter infections have increased, causing a substantial burden worldwide compared to the diseases caused by Escherichia coli and Salmonella [18, 19]. The detection methods have been improving. However, the standard culture method and nucleic acid-based molecular techniques are far from being ideal because they are time-consuming, expensive, labor-intensive, and difficult to perform on-site [12]. Recent studies suggested that LAMP is a practical and efficient tool for the rapid and sensitive detection of Campylobacter species [20–22]. Furthermore, the improving fluorescent LAMP assays were evaluated by Yamazaki et al., and a paper-based sensor has been exploited to detect C. jejuni and E. coli through measuring fluorescence images of the amplicons during LAMP reaction in real time recently, which indicated a robust and high accuracy compared with the turbidimetric LAMP approaches [23, 24].

Several LAMP assays for detecting C. jejuni targeting cj0414 and CJSA_1356 (a unique gene for C. jejuni SA clone) have been developed [25–29]. Furthermore, a region of the 16S RNA gene was targeted to detect Campylobacter spp. [21, 30, 31]. Besides the cj0414 gene, the conserved hippurate (hipO) gene specific and unique to C. jejuni was used as an alternative gene [32]. The analytical specificity of the LAMP targeting the hipO gene was evaluated in 74 bacterial strains. The LAMP assay did not detect the hipO gene in any 70 non-C. jejuni strains, and only the four C. jejuni strains were amplified correctly showing high analytical specificity (100%) for C. jejuni.

Melting temperature analysis has been used to distinguish different pathogenic bacteria reliably [33]. In this assay, the melting temperatures of hipO LAMP products were specific. According to the previous studies, the LAMP assay had an analytical sensitivity of 34.2 fg μL^-1, and it was 10-fold higher than conventional PCR [34].

As previously reported, the detection limits targeting the cj0414 gene were 7.9 CFU/tube in the chicken meat, CFU g^-1 (1.4 CFU per test) in spiked human stool, and 3.89 log CFU g^-1 and 3.6 CFU g^-1 in artificially spiked fecal samples [26, 28, 35, 36]. The detection limit of our LAMP assay (34.2 fg μL^-1) targeting the hipO gene was 10³ CFU g^-1 in the spiked samples of chicken meat, whereas CFU mL^-1 (100 fg μL^-1) has been reported in the literature [34]. These indicated that the sensitivity of our LAMP assay is comparable to or higher than the sensitivity of previous studies.

5. Conclusions

In summary, a sensitive, specific, rapid, and practical LAMP method for C. jejuni detection was developed targeting the hipO gene even in chicken meat samples. The designed primers based on the hipO gene successfully and specifically amplified the target gene from isolated genomic DNA in no more than 90 min, and the analysis was completed using just a water bath, making on-site C. jejuni detection feasible. Another important advantage of the LAMP assay is that the result can be judged directly with the naked eye based on white precipitate, which provides results consistent with the gel electrophoresis data. Overall, the LAMP technique for C. jejuni detection is a valuable tool in clinical, on-site, and resource-poor settings.
