African swine fever is the most devastating infectious disease of domestic pigs and wild boars, severely threatening the global pig industry in recent years. Here, we developed a rapid, simple, and sensitive immunoassay based on the split-luciferase system to detect IgG antibodies against African swine fever virus (ASFV). In this assay, the p30 protein of ASFV was genetically coupled to the LgBiT and SmBiT subunits of nanoluciferase, which were used as fusion probes for specific antibodies. Target engagement of the probes results in the reconstitution of a functional nanoluciferase, which further catalyzes bioluminescent reactions. Different orientations of the LgBiT and SmBiT-p30 fusion sensors were designed and investigated, and N-LgBiT/p30 and N-SmBiT/p30 were identified as a promising sensor pair for reforming active nanoluciferase in the presence of specific antibodies. After optimization, this split-luciferase complementation assay showed high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of ASFV antibodies. The analytical sensitivity of the assay was 16 times greater than that of the blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) by the detection of serial dilutions of serum, and no cross-reaction was observed with other swine pathogens. As demonstrated in clinical samples, its performance is highly consistent with that of a commercial ELISA kit, with a concordance rate of 98.19%. This assay is simple and easy to perform, providing a more flexible and efficient approach for the measurement of ASFV antibodies in clinical applications.</p><p><strong>Importance: </strong>The study is about a homogeneous split-luciferase assay for antibody detection.

Here, we report the analytical and clinical validation of a novel application of mcfDNA sequencing, the non-invasive detection of seven common antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genetic markers in 18 important pathogens. The AMR markers include SCC<i>mec</i>, <i>mecA, mecC</i>, <i>vanA, vanB</i>, <i>bla</i><sub>CTX-M</sub>, and <i>bla</i><sub>KPC</sub>. The AMR markers were computationally linked to the pathogens detected. Analytical validation showed high reproducibility (100%), inclusivity (54 to 100%), and exclusivity (100%). Clinical accuracy was assessed with 114 unique plasma samples from patients at seven study sites with concordant culture results for target bacteria from a variety of specimen types and correlated with available phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility test results and genotypic results. The positive percent agreement (PPA), negative percent agreement (NPA), and diagnostic yield (DY) were estimated for each AMR marker. DY was defined as the percentage of tests that yielded an actionable result of either detected or not detected. The results for the combination of SCC<i>mec</i> and <i>mecA</i> for staphylococci were PPA 19/20 (95.0%), NPA 21/22 (95.4%), DY 42/60 (70.0%); <i>vanA</i> for enterococci were PPA 3/3 (100%), NPA 2/2 (100%), DY 5/6 (83.3%); <i>bla</i><sub>CTX-M</sub> for gram-negative bacilli were PPA 5/6 (83.3%), NPA 29/29 (100%), DY 35/49 (71.4%); and <i>bla</i><sub>KPC</sub> for gram-negative bacilli were PPA 0/2 (0%), NPA: 23/23 (100%), DY 25/44 (56.8%). The addition of AMR capability to plasma mcfDNA sequencing should provide clinicians with an effective new culture-independent tool for optimization of therapy.</p><p><strong>Importance: </strong>This manuscript is ideally suited for the Innovative Diagnostic Methods sections as it reports the analytical and clinical validation of a novel application of plasma microbial cell-free DNA sequencing for direct detection of seven selected antimicrobial resistance markers in 18 target pathogens. Clearly, it has potential clinical utility in optimizing therapy and was incorporated into the Karius test workflow in September 2023. In addition, the workflow could readily be adapted to expand the number of target bacteria and antimicrobial resistance markers as needed.</p>","PeriodicalId":15511,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Microbiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11481525/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142080484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The increase in feral swine population and the geographic range are a concern for the spread of zoonotic diseases to humans and livestock. Feral swine could contribute to the spread of <i>Coxiella burnetii,</i> the causative agent of human Q fever. In this study, we characterized the seroprevalence of <i>C. burnetii</i> in feral swine populations of Hawai'i and Texas, which have low and high rates of human Q fever, respectively. Seropositivity rates were as high as 0.19% and 6.03% in Hawai'i and Texas, respectively, indicating that feral swine cannot be ruled out as a potential reservoir for disease transmission and spread. In Texas, we identified the overlap between seropositivity of feral swine and human Q fever incidence.
