Résumé

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an opportunistic infectious pathogen, which causes a high mortality rate during bloodstream infections. The early detection of virulent strains in patients' blood samples is of medical interest for rapid diagnosis. The main virulent factors identified in patient isolates include leukocidins that bind to specific membrane receptors and lyse immune cells and erythrocytes. Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines (DARC) on the surface of specific cells is a main target of leukocidins such as gamma-hemolysin AB (HlgAB) and leukocidin ED (LukED). Among them, HlgAB is a conserved and critical leukocidin that binds to DARC and forms pores on the cell membranes, leading to cell lysis. Current methods are based on ELISA or bacterial culture, which takes hours to days. For detecting HlgAB with faster response and higher sensitivity, we developed a biosensor that combines single-walled carbon nanotube field effect transistors (swCNT-FETs) with immobilized DARC receptors as biosensing elements. DARC was purified from a bacterial expression system and successfully reconstituted into nanodiscs that preserve binding capability for HlgAB. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed an increase of the DARC-containing nanodisc size in the presence of HlgAB, indicating the formation of HlgAB prepore or pore complexes. We demonstrate that this sensor can specifically detect the leukocidins HlgA and HlgAB in a quantitative manner within the dynamic range of 1 fM to 100 pM with an LOD of 0.122 fM and an LOQ of 0.441 fM. The sensor was challenged with human serum spiked with HlgAB as simulated clinical samples. After dilution for decreasing nonspecific binding, it selectively detected the toxin with a similar detection range and apparent dissociation constant as in the buffer. This biosensor was demonstrated with remarkable sensitivity to detect HlgAB rapidly and has the potential as a tool for fundamental research and clinical applications, although this sensor cannot differentiate between HlgAB and LukED as both have the same receptor.
