Abstract
Rapid and credible detection of pathogens is essential to prevent and control outbreaks of foodborne diseases. In this study, a poly-l-lysine-functionalized magnetic beads (PLL-MB) strategy combined with a PCR assay was established to detect Staphylococcus aureus. We also detected Escherichia coli O157:H7 to further verify the strategy for gram-negative bacteria detection. Poly-l-lysine has strong positive charges because of its amino groups, which can conjugate with the carboxyl of carboxyl magnetic beads. Furthermore, it can be used to combine with bacteria through electrostatic adsorption. Under optimum conditions, the developed PLL-MB complexes showed 90% capture efficiency in phosphate-buffered saline and 85% capture efficiency in milk for S. aureus detection. The limit of detection of the PLL-MB-PCR assay was 102 cfu/mL (1.8 × 102 cfu/mL for S. aureus and 7 × 102 cfu/mL for E. coli O157:H7) in phosphate-buffered saline and milk samples. The whole assay can be performed within 4 h. The proposed strategy showed a lower limit of detection when compared with the conventional PCR assay without enrichment. In addition, this method exhibited the advantages of a high-efficient, cost-efficient, and simple operation, indicating its potential applications in foodborne pathogen detection.

Abstract
Sepsis caused by bacteria has high morbidity and mortality, and it is neccerssay to establish a fast, convenient, and facility assays for detection of bacteria. In this study, we have developed established a simple, rapid, and ultrasensitive vancomycin (Van) and dendrimer nanoparticles-based method to isolate and detect bacteria in human blood using a multivalent binding strategy. The proposed Bio-den-Van multivalent capture nanoplatform combined with m-qPCR for simultaneous detection of two kinds of bacteria was demonstrated with rapid 2 min bacteria isolation with a linear range at 3.2 × 101-3.2 × 106 CFU·mL-1 for L. monocytogenes and 4.1 × 101-4.1 × 106 CFU·mL-1 for S. aureus, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) for simultaneous detection of L. monocytogenes and S. aureus were 32 and 41 CFU·mL-1 in spiked human blood samples, respectively. Other bacteria had an insignificant interference with the test results. This Bio-den-Van multivalent capture nanoplatform combined with m-qPCR detection exhibited rapid, high sensitivity and specificity in simultaneous detection of various bacteria. To our knowledge, this is the first time that Bio-den-Van multivalent capture nanoplatform was used with Van as a recognition molecule for the simultaneous capture and subsequent detection of two bacteria from spiked human blood sample. This method holds great potential for future clinical applications.

Abstract
Precise and rapid identification and characterization of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance patterns are critical for the adequate treatment of infections, which represent an increasing problem in intensive care medicine. The current situation remains far from satisfactory in terms of turnaround times and overall efficacy. Application of an ineffective antimicrobial agent or the unnecessary use of broad-spectrum antibiotics worsens the patient prognosis and further accelerates the generation of resistant mutants. Here, we provide an overview that includes an evaluation and comparison of existing tools used to diagnose bacterial infections, together with a consideration of the underlying molecular principles and technologies. Special emphasis is placed on emerging developments that may lead to significant improvements in point of care detection and diagnosis of multi-resistant pathogens, and new directions that may be used to guide antibiotic therapy.

Abstract
Simple, rapid, and sensitive screening methods are the key to prevent and control the spread of foodborne diseases. In this study, a simple visual colorimetric assay using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was developed for the detection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. First, the aptamer responding to V. parahaemolyticus was conjugated onto the surface of MNPs and used as a specific magnetic separator. In addition, the aptamer was also immobilized on the surface of AuNPs and used as a colorimetric detector. In the presence of V. parahaemolyticus, a sandwich structure of MNP-aptamer-bacteria-aptamer-AuNPs is formed through specific recognition of the aptamer and V. parahaemolyticus. The magnetic separation technique was then applied to generate a detection signal. Owing to the optical properties of AuNPs, a visual signal could be observed, resulting in an instrument-free colorimetric detection. Under optimal conditions, this assay shows a linear response toward V. parahaemolyticus concentration through the range of 10-106 cfu/mL, with a limit of detection of 2.4 cfu/mL. This method was also successfully applied for V. parahaemolyticus detection in spiked raw shrimp samples.

Abstract
Beer is an incredibly complex beverage containing more than 3000 different compounds, including carbohydrates, proteins, ions, microbes, organic acids, and polyphenols, among others. Beer becomes even more complex during storage, for over time it may undergo chemical changes that negatively affect the flavor, aroma, and appearance. Thus, it can be expected that maintaining the quality of beer throughout its lifetime is a difficult task. Since it is such a popular drink throughout the world, being familiar with proper analytical techniques for beer evaluation is useful for researchers and brewers. These techniques include, but are not limited to, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization, capillary electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and flame ionization detection. This review aims to summarize the various ingredients and components of beer, discuss how they affect the finished product, and present some of the analytical methods used for quality control and understanding the formation of chemicals in beer during the brewing process.

Abstract
A method is described for fast identification of bacteria by combining (a) the enrichment of bacterial cells by using magnetite (Fe3O4) magnetic beads modified with human IgG (IgG@Fe3O4) and (b) MALDI-TOF MS analysis. IgG has affinity to protein A, protein G, protein L and glycans on the surface of bacterial cells, and IgG@Fe3O4. It therefore is applicable to the preconcentration of a range of bacterial species. The feasibility of the method has been demonstrated by collecting six species of pathogenic bacteria (Gram-positives: Staphylococcus aureus and Kocuria rosea; Gram-negatives: Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Enterobacter cloacae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Bacteria with concentrations as low as 10 CFU·mL-1 in spiked water samples were extracted by this sorbent with recovery rates of >50%. After enrichment, bacteria on the IgG@Fe3O4 sorbent were further identified by MALDI-TOF MS. Bacteria in concentrations as low as 105 CFU in 100 μL of human whole blood can be identified by the method. Compared to other blood culture based tests, the culture time is shortened by 40% (from ~10 h to ~6 h), and the plate culture procedure (overnight) is avoided. After short blood culture, the enrichment and identification can be finished in one hour. The IgG@Fe3O4 is of practical value in clinical diagnosis and may be combined with other identification methods, e.g. PCR, Raman spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, etc. Graphical abstract A non-targeted, fast and sensitive assay for bacterial identification from human blood has been developed based on the enrichment of bacteria by IgG@Fe3O4 and identification by MALDI-TOF MS.

Abstract
MS applications in microbiology have increased significantly in the past 10 years, due in part to the proliferation of regulator-approved commercial MALDI MS platforms for rapid identification of clinical infections. In parallel, with the expansion of MS technologies in the "omics" fields, novel MS-based research efforts to characterize organismal as well as environmental microbiomes have emerged. Successful characterization of microorganisms found in complex mixtures of other organisms remains a major challenge for researchers and clinicians alike. Here, we review recent MS advances toward addressing that challenge. These include sample preparation methods and protocols, and established, for example, MALDI, as well as newer, for example, atmospheric pressure ionization (API) techniques. MALDI mass spectra of intact cells contain predominantly information on the highly expressed house-keeping proteins used as biomarkers. The API methods are applicable for small biomolecule analysis, for example, phospholipids and lipopeptides, and facilitate species differentiation. MS hardware and techniques, for example, tandem MS, including diverse ion source/mass analyzer combinations are discussed. Relevant examples for microbial mixture characterization utilizing these combinations are provided. Chemometrics and bioinformatics methods and algorithms, including those applied to large scale MS data acquisition in microbial metaproteomics and MS imaging of biofilms, are highlighted. Select MS applications for polymicrobial culture analysis in environmental and clinical microbiology are reviewed as well.

Abstract
A novel sandwich strategy was designed to detect Staphylococcus aureus. The strategy is based on an antibacterial agent that captures bacterial cells and a fluorescein-labeled antibody that acts as the signal-output probe. Vancomycin (Van), which exerts a strong antibacterial effect on Gram-positive bacteria, was utilized as a molecular recognition agent to detect pathogenic bacteria. To effectively concentrate S. aureus, we used bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the amplification carrier to modify magnetic beads (MBs), which were then functionalized with Van. To improve the specificity of the method for S. aureus detection, we adopted fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-tagged pig immunoglobulin G (FITC-pig IgG) as the signal probe and the second recognition agent that bound between the Fc fragment of pig IgG and protein A in the surface of S. aureus. To quantify S. aureus, we measured the fluorescence signal by flow cytometry (FCM). The use of multivalent magnetic nanoprobes (Van-BSA-MBs) showed a high concentration efficiency (>98%) at bacterial concentrations of only 33 colony-forming units (CFU)/mL. Furthermore, the sandwich mode (FITC-pig IgG/SA/Van-BSA-MBs) also showed ideal specificity because Van and IgG bound with S. aureus at two distinct sites. The detection limit for S. aureus was 3.3 × 101 CFU/mL and the total detection process could be completed within 120 min. Other Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria, including Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Cronobacter sakazakii, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Salmonella Enteritidis, negligibly interfered with S. aureus detection. The proposed detection strategy for S. aureus possesses attractive characteristics, such as high sensitivity, simple operation, short testing time, and low cost.

Abstract
Nano- or microhydroxyapatites with microbiological properties are being used to detect pathogens in clinical samples and industrial environments. In this study, the calcium phosphates coral-hydroxyapatite and biphasic calcium phosphate were characterized physicochemically using x-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric, and differential thermal analysis. The morphology, texture, and chemical composition of the ceramics were also investigated using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy. The biocompatibility of the ceramics was evaluated using Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis. Microorganisms were detected by incorporating the enzyme markers 4-metilumbelliferil-β-d-glucoside and 4-metilumbelliferil-β-d-glucuronide in the ceramic powders and evaluating fluorescence. The characterization of the ceramics revealed typical characteristics, such as crystallinity, thermal stability, and chemical composition, consistent with other calcium phosphates. The calcium phosphates coral-hydroxyapatite and biphasic calcium phosphate ceramics differed from one another in morphology, structural topography, particle size distribution, and the capacity to absorb water. These properties can influence the rates of microbiological responses and bacterial detection. Although both materials are suitable for use as structural supports in microbial diagnostic systems, BCP was more efficient and detected E. coli and E. faecalis more rapidly than CHA.

Abstract
Current procedures for the detection and identification of bacterial infections are laborious, time-consuming, and require a high workload and well-equipped laboratories. Therefore the work presented herein developed a simple, fast, and low cost method for bacterial detection based on hydroxyapatite nanoparticles with a nutritive mixture and the fluorogenic substrate. Calcium phosphate ceramic nanoparticles were characterized and integrated with a nutritive mixture for the early detection of bacteria by visual as well as fluorescence spectroscopy techniques. The composite was obtained by combining calcium phosphate nanoparticles (Ca:P ratio, 1.33:1) with a nutritive mixture of protein hydrolysates and carbon sources, which promote fast bacterial multiplication, and the fluorogenic substrate 4-methylumbellipheryl-β-D-glucuronide (MUG). The composite had an average particle size of 173.2 nm and did not show antibacterial activity against Gram-negative or Gram-positive bacteria. After an Escherichia coli suspension was in contact with the composite for 60-90 min, fluorescence detected under UV light or by fluorescence spectrophotometer indicated the presence of bacteria. Intense fluorescence was observed after incubation for a maximum of 90 min. Thus, this calcium phosphate nanocomposite system may be useful as a model for the development of other nanoparticle composites for detection of early bacterial adhesion.

Abstract
Identifying trace amounts of bacteria rapidly, accurately, selectively, and with high sensitivity is important to ensuring the safety of food and diagnosing infectious bacterial diseases. Microbial diseases constitute the major cause of death in many developing and developed countries of the world. The early detection of pathogenic bacteria is crucial in preventing, treating, and containing the spread of infections, and there is an urgent requirement for sensitive, specific, and accurate diagnostic tests. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) is an extremely selective and sensitive analytical tool that can be used to characterize different species of pathogenic bacteria. Various functionalized or unmodified nanomaterials can be used as affinity probes to capture and concentrate microorganisms. Recent developments in bacterial detection using nanomaterials-assisted MALDI-MS approaches are highlighted in this article. A comprehensive table listing MALDI-MS approaches for identifying pathogenic bacteria, categorized by the nanomaterials used, is provided.

Abstract
We propose the benefits of preincubation during nanoparticle-assisted bacterial analysis, where the bacteria are grown along with the nanoparticles. We were able to obtain a two to ten fold enhancement of bacterial signals in 3 h compared to the generally used methodology followed in previous literature. The previous literature method required a long time (18 h) to obtain such an enhancement. We probe the interactions of two bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with Ag, NiO, Pt TiO(2) and ZnO nanoparticles via transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS). Based on these results, we propose a mechanism for interaction of these five nanoparticles with bacteria. Two mechanisms were observed for the interactions: (1) Mechanism A is proposed for the Pt and NiO NPs which functioned based on affinity for bacterial cells. (2) Mechanism B was proposed for the bactericidal NPs such as TiO(2), ZnO and Ag NPs. The results indicate that the success of the unmodified NPs in MALDI-MS bacterial studies lies in following the ideal protocol for incubation at the ideal concentrations.

Abstract
The heat stress response of Escherichia coli at various temperatures has been investigated using NiO nanoparticles assisted MALDI-TOF-MS. Significant numbers of protein peaks were obtained in the presence of NiO NPs when the samples were incubated at various temperatures in comparison with the control E. coli suspension (10(7)cfu/mL). The 10 kDa chaperonin (groES) is the principal protein operating both for the protection of proteins from denaturation and in the assembly of newly synthesized proteins. During the heat stress response with NiO NPs, 10 kDa chaperonin (grosES) proteins were detected using MALDI-TOF MS. The viability of E. coli was checked on LB agar plates at different temperatures and time treatments. In the presence of NiO NPs, viability decreases drastically; this has been explored and correlated with the MALDI-TOF MS results. Further, surface morphological changes of E. coli at different temperatures were investigated with NiO NPs by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The response of heat stress toward E. coli for generating more stable protein ions can be applied for bacterial detection under high temperature conditions from biological, clinical and environmental samples.

Abstract
The introduction of nanoparticles into mass spectrometric research greatly influenced the applicability of this technique into various omics. Surface-modified or functionalized nanoparticles (NPs) have recently extended the use of mass spectrometry into microorganism research. We survey the application of unmodified NPs, for microorganism research, on the basis of our expertise in this area within the recent years in this decade. The use of unmodified NPs in mass spectrometry, especially with respect to microorganisms, is an untreaded research area, which we have ventured to probe and have been fruitful. On the basis of our experience, we provide an insight into the principle behind the use of unmodified NPs and provide guidelines to be followed to obtain significant results. We also brief the current scenario of nanoparticle interaction-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (NPILDI-MS) for rapid, simple, direct and sensitive detection of microorganisms on the basis of our past and present reports, quoting examples of successful application of this technique. Finally, we address the future of the NPILDI-MS technique and the tools needed to reach those visions.

Abstract
This study demonstrates the first use of matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) to trace the Invivo infection kinetics of the well known deadly pathogen Staphylococcus aureus in Swiss albino mice. The growth curve of the bacteria from the point of injection (200μL of bacterial suspension (10(8)cfu/mL)) into the mouse blood till mortality (death) was periodically analyzed using the plate counting method and MALDI-MS. Bacterial counts of 10(3)cfu/mL were observed in the log phase of the growth curve in the blood and 10(2)cfu/mL were observed in the urine samples. Death occurred in the log phase of the growth curve, where the bacterial counts showed steady increase. In other cases, the bacteria counts started decreasing after 48h and by 96h the bacteria got totally eliminated from the mouse and these mice survived. Direct MALDI-MS was not feasible for tracking the bacteria in the infected blood. However, ionic liquid 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate was successful in enabling bacterial detection amidst the strong blood peaks. But, in the case of the urine analysis, it was observed that direct MALDI-MS was adequate to enable detection. The results obtained prove the efficacy of MALDI-MS for analyzing pathogenic bacteria in clinical samples. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Proteomics: The clinical link.

Abstract
The ability to rapidly diagnose gram-positive pathogenic bacteria would have far reaching biomedical and technological applications. Here we describe the bioorthogonal modification of small molecule antibiotics (vancomycin and daptomycin), which bind to the cell wall of gram-positive bacteria. The bound antibiotics conjugates can be reacted orthogonally with tetrazine-modified nanoparticles, via an almost instantaneous cycloaddition, which subsequently renders the bacteria detectable by optical or magnetic sensing. We show that this approach is specific, selective, fast and biocompatible. Furthermore, it can be adapted to the detection of intracellular pathogens. Importantly, this strategy enables detection of entire classes of bacteria, a feat that is difficult to achieve using current antibody approaches. Compared to covalent nanoparticle conjugates, our bioorthogonal method demonstrated 1-2 orders of magnitude greater sensitivity. This bioorthogonal labeling method could ultimately be applied to a variety of other small molecules with specificity for infectious pathogens, enabling their detection and diagnosis.

Abstract
In-solution enzymatic and nonenzymatic digestion methods have been successfully implemented in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS)-based virus identification, extending to typing/subtyping of deadly influenza viruses. However, these methods are inefficient in obtaining more precise information on surface proteins of myxovirus particles, not only the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase of influenza virus but also the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase of Newcastle disease virus (NDV). Imbalances in viral protein composition cause ion suppression of tryptic fragments from low-abundant target proteins (surface proteins), adversely affecting reproducibility of mass spectra. Additionally, the coexistence of tryptic peptides from several proteins requires sophisticated statistical solutions for precise result interpretations. To circumvent these, we apply detergent-based (gel-free) partitioning of whole viruses into soluble surface proteins and insoluble virus materials, using differential centrifugation. MALDI-TOF or MALDI-TOF/TOF MS was applied to analyze tryptic peptides from separated viral proteins. In this study, we achieved type/subtype of avian influenza virus (AIV) within 5 h, based on 4 major proteins, by significantly reducing ion suppression and signal overlap from various protein sources. Hence, our approach can both yield dependable results and allow Web-based search engines to be directly employed, obviating the need for additional statistical strategy. Additionally, we demonstrate the utility of the method using NDV.

Abstract
Bactericidal paramagnetic particles were obtained either through the attachment of a conjugate of poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) and poly(hexamethylene biguanide) (PHMBG) to the surface of magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) particles, or via the sol-gel encapsulation of magnetite particles with a functional silane (3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane) and subsequent binding of the polysiloxane shell by the amine/imine groups of PHMBG. The encapsulated core-shell particles possess a high saturation magnetization, which is preserved for more than 10 months while in contact with air in aqueous suspensions. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the encapsulated particles for eight types of bacteria was size-dependent, with polydisperse submillimeter particles possessing a several-fold higher MIC than analogous particles sized below 250 nm. The encapsulated particles are biocompatible and nontoxic to mammalian cells such as mouse fibroblasts. The particles efficiently bind both glycopeptide components mimicking the gram-positive bacteria membranes and whole bacteria, and possess broad-range bactericidal activity. The cell-particle complexes can be captured, manipulated, and removed by means of a magnet.
