Compositions and methods for detecting antibiotic responsive mRNA expression signatures and uses thereof
The present disclosure relates to compositions, methods, and kits for rapid phenotypic detection of antibiotic resistance/susceptibility.
1. A method, comprising:
obtaining a sample including one or more bacterial cells, wherein the sample is obtained from a patient;
processing the sample to enrich the one or more bacterial cells;
contacting the sample with one or more antibiotic compounds;
lysing the sample to release messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) from the one or more bacterial cells;
hybridizing the released mRNA to at least one set of two nucleic acid probes, wherein each nucleic acid probe includes a unique barcode or tag and wherein the at least one set of nucleic acid probes includes one or more probes from SEQ ID NOs: 74-86 and one or more probes from SEQ ID NOs: 91-103;
detecting the hybridized nucleic acid probes;
identifying one or more genetic resistance determinants;
determining antibiotic susceptibility of the one or more bacterial cells using a machine learning algorithm trained on a susceptibility classification dataset, wherein the machine learning algorithm generates a ranked list of two or more susceptibility features, thereby determining antibiotic susceptibility of the one or more bacterial cells; and
selecting an appropriate antibiotic based on the determined antibiotic susceptibility of the one or more bacterial cells; and
administering the appropriate antibiotic to the patient.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hybridizing occurs at a temperature between about 64° C. and about 69° C.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hybridizing occurs at a temperature between about 65° C. and about 67° C.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hybridizing occurs at about 65° C. or about 66° C. or about 67° C.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one set of two nucleic acid probes is selected from the group consisting of: SEQ ID NO: 74 and SEQ ID NO: 91; SEQ ID NO: 75 and SEQ ID NO: 92; SEQ ID NO: 76 and SEQ ID NO: 93; SEQ ID NO: 77 and SEQ ID NO: 94; SEQ ID NO: 78 and SEQ ID NO: 95; SEQ ID NO: 79 and SEQ ID NO: 96; SEQ ID NO: 80 and SEQ ID NO: 97; SEQ ID NO: 81 and SEQ ID NO: 98; SEQ ID NO: 82 and SEQ ID NO: 99; SEQ ID NO: 83 and SEQ ID NO: 100; SEQ ID NO: 84 and SEQ ID NO: 101; SEQ ID NO: 85 and SEQ ID NO: 102; and SEQ ID NO: 86 and SEQ ID NO: 103.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one set of two nucleic acid probes is selected from the group consisting of: SEQ ID NO: 74 and SEQ ID NO: 91; SEQ ID NO: 75 and SEQ ID NO: 92; SEQ ID NO: 76 and SEQ ID NO: 93; SEQ ID NO: 77 and SEQ ID NO: 94; SEQ ID NO: 78 and SEQ ID NO: 95; SEQ ID NO: 80 and SEQ ID NO: 97; SEQ ID NO: 82 and SEQ ID NO: 99; SEQ ID NO: 83 and SEQ ID NO: 100; and SEQ ID NO: 85 and SEQ ID NO: 102.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least two sets of nucleic acid probes are selected.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least three sets of nucleic acid probes are selected.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least four sets of nucleic acid probes are selected.
10. A method, comprising:
obtaining a sample including one or more bacterial cells, wherein the sample is obtained from a patient;
processing the sample to enrich the one or more bacterial cells;
contacting the sample with one or more antibiotic compounds;
lysing the sample to release messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) from the one or more bacterial cells;
hybridizing the released mRNA to at least five nucleic acid probe sets, wherein each nucleic acid probe includes a unique barcode or tag and wherein the at least one set of nucleic acid probes includes one or more probes from SEQ ID NOs: 74-86 and one or more probes from SEQ ID NOs: 91-103;
detecting the hybridized nucleic acid probes;
identifying one or more genetic resistance determinants;
