Abstract
Pathogen detection has become a major research area all over the world for water quality surveillance and microbial risk assessment. Therefore, designing simple and sensitive detection kits plays a key role in envisaging and evaluating the risk of disease outbreaks and providing quality healthcare settings. Herein, we have designed a facile and low-cost colorimetric sensing strategy for the selective and sensitive determination of β-galactosidase producing pathogens. The hexagonal boron nitride quantum dots (h-BN QDs) were established as a nanozyme that showed prominent peroxidase-like activity, which catalyzes 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation by H2O2. The h-BN QDs were embedded on a layer-by-layer assembled agarose biopolymer. The β-galactosidase enzyme partially degrades β-1,4 glycosidic bonds of agarose polymer, resulting in accessibility of h-BN QDs on the solid surface. This assay can be conveniently conducted and analyzed by monitoring the blue color formation due to TMB oxidation within 30 min. The nanocomposite was stable for more than 90 days and was showing TMB oxidation after incubating it with Escherichia coli (E. coli). The limit of detection was calculated to be 1.8 × 106 and 1.5 × 106 CFU/mL for E. coli and Klebsiella pneumonia (K. pneumonia), respectively. Furthermore, this novel sensing approach is an attractive platform that was successfully applied to detect E. coli in spiked water samples and other food products with good accuracy, indicating its practical applicability for the detection of pathogens in real samples.

Abstract
Urinary tract infection (UTI), which can be caused by various pathogens, if not detected at an early stage can be fatal. It is essential to identify the specific pathogen responsible for UTI for appropriate treatment. This study describes a generic approach to the fabrication of a prototype for the noninvasive detection of a specific pathogen using a tailor-made plasmonic aptamer-gold nanoparticle (AuNP) assay. The assay is advantageous because the adsorbed specific aptamers passivate the nanoparticle surfaces and reduce and/or eliminate false-positive responses to nontarget analytes. Based on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomena of AuNP, a point-of-care aptasensor was designed that shows specific changes in the absorbance in the visible spectra in the presence of a target pathogen for robust and fast screening of UTI samples. In this study, we demonstrate the specific detection of Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria with LoD as low as 3.4 × 103 CFU/mL.

Abstract
Globally, food safety and security are receiving a lot of attention to ensure a steady supply of nutrient-rich and safe food. Nanotechnology is used in a wide range of technical processes, including the development of new materials and the enhancement of food safety and security. Nanomaterials are used to improve the protective effects of food and help detect microbial contamination, hazardous chemicals, and pesticides. Nanosensors are used to detect pathogens and allergens in food. Food processing is enhanced further by nanocapsulation, which allows for the delivery of bioactive compounds, increases food bioavailability, and extends food shelf life. Various forms of nanomaterials have been developed to improve food safety and enhance agricultural productivity, including nanometals, nanorods, nanofilms, nanotubes, nanofibers, nanolayers, and nanosheets. Such materials are used for developing nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, and nanomaterials to induce plant growth, genome modification, and transgene expression in plants. Nanomaterials have antimicrobial properties, promote plants' innate immunity, and act as delivery agents for active ingredients. Nanocomposites offer good acid-resistance capabilities, effective recyclability, significant thermostability, and enhanced storage stability. Nanomaterials have been extensively used for the targeted delivery and release of genes and proteins into plant cells. In this review article, we discuss the role of nanotechnology in food safety and security. Furthermore, we include a partial literature survey on the use of nanotechnology in food packaging, food safety, food preservation using smart nanocarriers, the detection of food-borne pathogens and allergens using nanosensors, and crop growth and yield improvement; however, extensive research on nanotechnology is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the advantages of molecular methods over biochemical methods, the use of molecular methods for diagnosing nosocomial infections such as Pseudomonas can be an appropriate and rapid way to choose the right diagnosis and treatment of infection and prevent further complications caused by the infection. The present article provides a description of the development of a nanoparticle-based detection technique for sensitive and specific deoxyribonucleic acid-based diagnostic of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Specific thiolated oligonucleotide probes for one of the hypervariable regions of the 16S rDNA gene were designed and applied for colorimetric detection of the bacteria. RESULTS The results of gold nanoprobe-nucleic sequence amplification indicated the probe attached to gold nanoparticles in the presence of the target deoxyribonucleic acid. It caused aggregation of gold nanoparticles in the form of connected networks resulting in color change and indicating the presence of the target molecule in the sample, which could be observed by the naked eye. In addition, the wavelength of gold nanoparticles changed from 524 to 558 nm. Multiplex polymerase chain reactions were performed using four specific genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (oprL, oprI, toxA, and 16S rDNA). The sensitivity and specificity of the two techniques were assessed. According to the observations, the specificity of both techniques was 100%, and the sensitivity was 0.5 ng/μL and 0.01 ng/μL of genomic deoxyribonucleic acid for multiplex polymerase chain reaction and colorimetric assay, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The sensitivity of colorimetric detection was about 50 times higher than the polymerase chain reaction using the 16SrDNA gene. The results of our study proved to be highly specific with potential use for early detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract
Infectious disease outbreaks have caused thousands of deaths and hospitalizations, along with severe negative global economic impacts. Among these, infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant microorganisms are a major growing concern. The misuse and overuse of antimicrobials have resulted in the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) worldwide. Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are among the bacteria that need urgent attention globally. The emergence and spread of carbapenem-resistant bacteria are mainly due to the rapid dissemination of genes that encode carbapenemases through horizontal gene transfer (HGT). The rapid dissemination enables the development of host colonization and infection cases in humans who do not use the antibiotic (carbapenem) or those who are hospitalized but interacting with environments and hosts colonized with carbapenemase-producing (CP) bacteria. There are continuing efforts to characterize and differentiate carbapenem-resistant bacteria from susceptible bacteria to allow for the appropriate diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and control of infections. This review presents an overview of the factors that cause the emergence of AMR, particularly CRE, where they have been reported, and then, it outlines carbapenemases and how they are disseminated through humans, the environment, and food systems. Then, current and emerging techniques for the detection and surveillance of AMR, primarily CRE, and gaps in detection technologies are presented. This review can assist in developing prevention and control measures to minimize the spread of carbapenem resistance in the human ecosystem, including hospitals, food supply chains, and water treatment facilities. Furthermore, the development of rapid and affordable detection techniques is helpful in controlling the negative impact of infections caused by AMR/CRE. Since delays in diagnostics and appropriate antibiotic treatment for such infections lead to increased mortality rates and hospital costs, it is, therefore, imperative that rapid tests be a priority.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health issue, and the rise of carbapenem-resistant bacteria needs attention. While progress is being made in the rapid detection of resistant bacteria, affordability and simplicity of detection still need to be addressed. This paper presents a nanoparticle-based plasmonic biosensor for detecting the carbapenemase-producing bacteria, particularly the beta-lactam Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (blaKPC) gene. The biosensor used dextrin-coated gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and an oligonucleotide probe specific to blaKPC to detect the target DNA in the sample within 30 min. The GNP-based plasmonic biosensor was tested in 47 bacterial isolates: 14 KPC-producing target bacteria and 33 non-target bacteria. The stability of GNPs, confirmed by the maintenance of their red appearance, indicated the presence of target DNA due to probe-binding and GNP protection. The absence of target DNA was indicated by the agglomeration of GNPs, corresponding to a color change from red to blue or purple. The plasmonic detection was quantified with absorbance spectra measurements. The biosensor successfully detected and differentiated the target from non-target samples with a detection limit of 2.5 ng/μL, equivalent to ~103 CFU/mL. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were found to be 79% and 97%, respectively. The GNP plasmonic biosensor is simple, rapid, and cost-effective in detecting blaKPC-positive bacteria.

Abstract
Recent years have witnessed an exponential increase in the research on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-based colorimetric sensors to revolutionize point-of-use sensing devices. Hence, this review is compiled focused on current progress in the design and performance parameters of AuNPs-based sensors. The review begins with the characteristics of AuNPs, followed by a brief explanation of synthesis and functionalization methods. Then, the mechanisms of AuNPs-based sensors are comprehensively explained in two broad categories based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) characteristics of AuNPs and their peroxidase-like catalytic properties (nanozyme). SPR-based colorimetric sensors further categorize into aggregation, anti-aggregation, etching, growth-mediated, and accumulation-based methods depending on their sensing mechanisms. On the other hand, peroxidase activity-based colorimetric sensors are divided into two methods based on the expression or inhibition of peroxidase-like activity. Next, the analytes in environmental and food samples are classified as inorganic, organic, and biological pollutants, and recent progress in detection of these analytes are reviewed in detail. Finally, conclusions are provided, and future directions are highlighted. Improving the sensitivity, reproducibility, multiplexing capabilities, and cost-effectiveness for colorimetric detection of various analytes in environment and food matrices will have significant impact on fast testing of hazardous substances, hence reducing the pollution load in environment as well as rendering food contamination to ensure food safety.

Abstract
Rapid detection of foodborne pathogens such as E. coli O157 is essential in reducing the prevalence of foodborne illness and subsequent complications. Due to their unique colorimetric properties, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) can be applied in biosensor development for affordability and accessibility. In this work, a GNP biosensor was designed for visual differentiation between target (E. coli O157:H7) and non-target DNA samples. Results of DNA extracted from pure cultures indicate high specificity and sensitivity to as little as 2.5 ng/µL E. coli O157 DNA. Further, the biosensor successfully identified DNA extracted from flour contaminated with E. coli O157, with no false positives for flour contaminated with non-target bacteria. After genomic extraction, this assay can be performed in as little as 30 min. In addition, food sample testing was successful at detecting approximately 103 CFU/mL of E. coli O157 magnetically extracted from flour after only a 4 h incubation step. As a proof of concept, these results demonstrate the capabilities of this GNP biosensor for low-cost and rapid foodborne pathogen detection.

Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae is infamous for generating hospital-acquired infections, many of which are difficult to treat due to the bacterium’s multidrug resistance. A sensitive and robust detection method of K. pneumoniae can help prevent a disease outbreak. Herein, we used K. pneumoniae cells as bait to screen a commercially available phage-displayed random peptide library for peptides that could be used to detect K. pneumoniae. The biopanning-derived peptide TSATKFMMNLSP, named KP peptide, displayed a high selectivity for the K. pneumoniae with low cross-reactivity to related Gram-negative bacteria. The specific interaction between KP peptide and K. pneumoniae lipopolysaccharide resulted in the peptide’s selectivity against K. pneumoniae. Quantitative analysis of this interaction by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed that the KP peptide possessed higher specificity and sensitivity toward K. pneumoniae than commercially available anti-Klebsiella spp. antibodies and could detect K. pneumoniae at a detection limit of 104 CFU/mL. These results suggest that KP peptide can be a promising alternative to antibodies in developing a biosensor system for K. pneumoniae detection.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, and fungi and their global spread pose a great threat to human health. The 2019 World Health Organization report predicted that infection-related mortality will be similar to cancer mortality by 2050. Particularly, the global cumulative numbers of the recent outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have reached 110.7 million cases and over 2.4 million deaths as of February 23, 2021. Moreover, the crisis of these infectious diseases exposes the many problems of traditional diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, such as time-consuming and unselective detection methods, the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, serious side effects, and poor drug delivery. There is an urgent need for rapid and sensitive diagnosis as well as high efficacy and low toxicity treatments. The emergence of nanomedicine has provided a promising strategy to greatly enhance detection methods and drug treatment efficacy. Owing to their unique optical, magnetic, and electrical properties, nanoparticles (NPs) have great potential for the fast and selective detection of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. NPs exhibit remarkable antibacterial activity by releasing reactive oxygen species and metal ions, exerting photothermal effects, and causing destruction of the cell membrane. Nano-based delivery systems can further improve drug permeability, reduce the side effects of drugs, and prolong systemic circulation time and drug half-life. Moreover, effective drugs against COVID-19 are still lacking. Recently, nanomedicine has shown great potential to accelerate the development of safe and novel anti-COVID-19 drugs. This article reviews the fundamental mechanisms and the latest developments in the treatment and diagnosis of bacteria, viruses, and fungi and discusses the challenges and perspectives in the application of nanomedicine.

Abstract
The novel coronavirus pandemic has rapidly spread around the world since December 2019. Various techniques have been applied in identification of SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 infection including computed tomography imaging, whole genome sequencing, and molecular methods such as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). This review article discusses the diagnostic methods currently being deployed for the SARS-CoV-2 identification including optical biosensors and point-of-care diagnostics that are on the horizon. These innovative technologies may provide a more accurate, sensitive and rapid diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 to manage the present novel coronavirus outbreak, and could be beneficial in preventing any future epidemics. Furthermore, the use of green synthesized nanomaterials in the optical biosensor devices could leads to sustainable and environmentally-friendly approaches for addressing this crisis.

Development and comparison of cross-linking and non-crosslinking probe-gold nanoparticle hybridization assays for direct detection of unamplified bovine viral diarrhea virus-RNA. BMC Biotechnol 2021; 21:30.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a major economic disease that has been spread in most countries. In addition to vaccination, one of the main ways to control the disease and prevent it from spreading is to detect and cull infected animals, especially those with persistent infection (PI). We developed and compared two colorimetric biosensor assays based on probe-modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to detect BVDV. Specific probes were designed to detect the 5' untranslated region of BVDV-RNA. The thiolated probes were immobilized on the surface of the AuNPs. Two methods of cross-linking (CL) and non-crosslinking (NCL) probe-AuNPs hybridization were developed and compared. RESULTS The hybridization of positive targets with the two probe-AuNPs formed a polymeric network between the AuNPs which led to the aggregation of nanoparticles and color change from red to blue. Alternatively, in the NCL mode, the hybridization of complementary targets with the probe-AuNPs resulted in the increased electrostatic repulsion in nanoparticles and the increased stabilization against salt-induced aggregation. The CL and NCL assays had detection limits of 6.83 and 44.36 ng/reaction, respectively. CONCLUSION The CL assay showed a higher sensitivity and specificity; in contrast, the NCL assay did not require optimizing and controlling of hybridization temperature and showed a higher response speed. However, both the developed methods are cost-effective and easy to perform and also could be implemented on-site or in local laboratories in low-resource countries.

Abstract
With significant advancements in research technologies, and an increasing global population, microfluidic and nanofluidic systems (such as point-of-care, lab-on-a-chip, organ-on-a-chip, etc) have started to revolutionize medicine. Devices that combine micron and nanotechnologies have increased sensitivity, precision and versatility for numerous medical applications. However, while there has been extensive research on microfluidic and nanofluidic systems, very few have experienced wide-spread commercialization which is puzzling and deserves our collective attention. For the above reasons, in this article, we review research advances that combine micro and nanotechnologies to create the next generation of nanomaterial-based microfluidic systems, the latest in their commercialization success and failure and highlight the value of these devices both in industry and in the laboratory.

Abstract
In recent years, a range of studies have been conducted with the aim to design and characterize delivery systems that are able to release multiple therapeutic agents in controlled and programmed temporal sequences, or with spatial resolution inside the body. This sequential release occurs in response to different stimuli, including changes in pH, redox potential, enzyme activity, temperature gradients, light irradiation, and by applying external magnetic and electrical fields. Sequential release (SR)-based delivery systems, are often based on a range of different micro- or nanocarriers and may offer a silver bullet in the battle against various diseases, such as cancer. Their distinctive characteristic is the ability to release one or more drugs (or release drugs along with genes) in a controlled sequence at different times or at different sites. This approach can lengthen gene expression periods, reduce the side effects of drugs, enhance the efficacy of drugs, and induce an anti-proliferative effect on cancer cells due to the synergistic effects of genes and drugs. The key objective of this review is to summarize recent progress in SR-based drug/gene delivery systems for cancer and other diseases.
