Problems solved by technology

However, the use of DNA as a standard did not take into account the efficiency of reverse transcription, resulting in 84%-98.6% less detected RNA compared to the actual
Therefore, using DNA as a standard for detecting RNA will greatly underestimate the actual RNA content in the sample

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for quantitative determination of escherichia coli RNA, and a specialized standard substance and an application thereof. The method comprises the steps of (1) making a standard curve according to the following method, preparing standard substance diluents with different concentrations by using a RNA standard substance; reversely transcribing the standard substance diluents with different concentrations into cDNA; performing real-time fluorescence quantification PCR by using cDNA as templates; making the standard curve equation by using RNA copy number (or data-processed copy number, for example, log-base 10 of the copy number) corresponding to cDNA in the real-time fluorescence quantification PCR system and Ct values; and (2) extracting a total RNA of the escherichia coli, reversely transcribing the extracted total RNA into cDNA; performing the real-time fluorescence quantification PCR by using cDNA as the templates; and substituting the Ct values to the standard curve equation to obtain the RNA content of the escherichia coli. The method can be used for detecting small amount of the escherichia coli in the environment rapidly, and provides technical support for rapid detection of the active escherichia coli.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for quantitatively detecting Escherichia coli RNA, a special standard product and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Escherichia coli (Escherichia coli) is a foodborne pathogen that can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, and hemorrhagic colitis. In recent years, infectious diseases caused by Escherichia coli have been reported in many countries, and have become a worldwide environmental safety problem. [0003] At present, the traditional detection method of E. coli is the culture method. However, recent studies have found that bacteria can enter a "viable but nonculturable (VBNC)" state under environmental pressure (such as high temperature), which cannot be detected by conventional culture methods, but still maintains metabolic activity and pathogenicity. pathogenicity and are able to restore their culturability under conditions of removal of environmental stress, posing a serious microbiologi...
