| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Waterborne diseases due to pathogenic bacteria in the water environment are a serious problem all over the world. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method that can accurately and simultaneously obtain information on pathogenic bacteria in the water environment. In this study, the development of a detection method that combines the simultaneous amplification of target genes using the Multiplex PCR method and the simultaneous analysis of base sequences by the NGS analysis were investigated for seven types of E. coli pathogenic genes. As a result of the Multiplex PCR method, it was possible to simultaneously detect 5 out of 7 target genes. The relationship between the copy number of the digital PCR method established as a quantitative analysis and the read number of the NGS analysis, five types of E. coli pathogen-ic genes showed a positive correlation. In addition, it was suggested that the copy number can be estimated from the number of reads.

病原性細菌の検出技術が発展しているにも関わらず，水環境において，それら病原性細菌の一斉検出法は確立されておらず，情報・知見が乏しいのが現状である．本研究では，Multiplex PCR法における多数の標的遺伝子を一斉に増幅させるプロセスとNGS法による塩基配列の一斉解析のプロセスを組み合わせて，水環境における病原性細菌の一斉検出法の開発した．この開発した方法によって，これまで得られていなかった水環境における病原遺伝子の存在実態と分布が追跡できる．
