Objective:
To develop a real-time fluorescence PCR assay for quantitative detection of Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) in fecal samples,providing technical support for quantitative detection and deep research of A.muciniphila.
Methods:
The quantitative detection method for A.muciniphila were established by using SYBR Green Ⅰ; The standard curve was made using A.muciniphila standards; The sensitivity,specificity,anti-interference and repeatability of this assay were analyzed; 30 human fecal samples were detected by the established method.
Results:
The standard curve showed a good linear relationship with R=0.999; The sensitivity of this assay reached to 1.0×102CFU/mL; This method could amplify A.muciniphila specifically,not affected by other intestinal bacteria; Repeatability of intra-group and inter-group were good with the coefficient of variation (CV)of Ct value lower than 2%; The positive rate of A.muciniphila in 30 human fecal samples was 73%,while its Ct value ranged from 17.40 to 31.77.
Conclusion:
These results indicated that the established real-time PCR method for A. muciniphila' quantitative detection was simple,rapid and economical,good in sensitivity,specificity,anti-interference,repeatability and suitable for the detection of A.muciniphila in faeces.

Sampling Methods: Sample Types
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...
