摘要

The early detection of Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, is important for adequate treatment by antibiotics and the outcome of the disease. Here we describe a new capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA) based on monoclonal antibodies specific for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica and Francisella tularensis subsp. tularensis. No cross-reactivity with Francisella tularensis subsp. novicida, Francisella philomiragia, and a panel of other possibly related bacteria, including Brucella spp., Yersinia spp., Escherichia coli, and Burkholderia spp., was observed. The detection limit of the assay was 103 to 104 bacteria/ml. This sensitivity was achieved by solubilization of the LPS prior to the cELISA. In addition, a novel immunochromatographic membrane-based handheld assay (HHA) and a PCR, targeting sequences of the 17-kDa protein (TUL4) gene of F. tularensis, were used in this study. Compared to the cELISA, the sensitivity of the HHA was about 100 times lower and that of the PCR was about 10 times higher. All three techniques were successfully applied to detect F. tularensis in tissue samples of European brown hares (Lepus europaeus). Whereas all infected samples were recognized by the cELISA, those with relatively low bacterial load were partially or not detected by PCR and HHA, probably due to inhibitors or lack of sensitivity. In conclusion, the HHA can be used as a very fast and simple approach to perform field diagnosis to obtain a first hint of an infection with F. tularensis, especially in emergent situations. In any suspect case, the diagnosis should be confirmed by more sensitive techniques, such as the cELISA and PCR.
