Abstract
Persistent and inappropriate use of antibiotics is causing rife antimicrobial resistance (AMR) worldwide. Common bacterial infections are thus becoming increasingly difficult to treat without the use of last resort antibiotics. This has necessitated a situation where it is imperative to confirm the infection to be bacterial, before treating it with antimicrobial speculatively. Conventional methods of bacteria detection are either culture based which take anywhere between 24 and 96 hor require sophisticated molecular analysis equipment with libraries and trained operators. These are difficult propositions for resource limited community healthcare setups of developing or less developed countries. Customized, inexpensive, point-of-care (PoC) biosensors are thus being researched and developed for rapid detection of bacterial pathogens. The development and optimization of disposable sensor substrates is the first and crucial step in development of such PoC systems. The substrates should facilitate easy charge transfer, a high surface to volume ratio, be tailorable by the various bio-conjugation chemistries, preserve the integrity of the biorecognition element, yet be inexpensive. Such sensor substrates thus need to be thoroughly investigated. Further, if such systems were made disposable, they would attain immunity to biofouling. This article discusses a few potential disposable electrochemical sensor substrates deployed for detection of bacteria for environmental and healthcare applications. The technologies have significant potential in helping reduce bacterial infections and checking AMR. This could help save lives of people succumbing to bacterial infections, as well as improve the overall quality of lives of people in low- and middle-income countries.

Abstract
Early detection of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is critical due to a lack of effective treatment for toxoplasmosis.This study established a simple, cost-effective, and rapid colorimetric detection method for T. gondii. The entire testing process, from sample collection to results, takes only 0.5 h. These characteristics fulfill the demands of researchers seeking rapid target detection with minimal equipment reliance. For genomic extraction, this study evaluated the ability of two filter papers to capture genomes. A rapid genomic extraction device combined with the two filter papers was designed to simplify the genomic extraction process, which was completed within 10 min and increased the detection sensitivity tenfold. The method utilized a simplified primer design for isothermal amplification, namely allosteric strand displacement (ASD), and employed an underutilized commercial color indicator, Bromothymol Blue (BTB), for signal output. Compared with other reported indicators, BTB exhibited a more pronounced color change, shifting from blue to yellow in positive samples, facilitating easier visual differentiation. The reaction was completed in 20 min with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.014 T. gondii per microliter.

Abstract
Immunoassays based on antibodies as recognizing elements and enzymes as signal-generating modules are extensively used now in clinical lab diagnostics, food, and environmental analyses. However, the application of natural enzymes and antibodies has some drawbacks, such as relatively high manufacturing costs, thermal instability, and lot-to-lot variations that lower the reproducibility of results. Oligonucleotide aptamers are able to specifically bind their targets with high affinity and selectivity, so they represent a prospective alternative to protein antibodies for analyte recognition. Their main advantages include thermal stability and long shelf life, cost-efficient chemical synthesis, and negligible batch-to-batch variations. At the same time, a wide variety of non-protein peroxidase mimics are now available that show strong potential to replace protein enzymes. Here, we review and analyze non-protein biosensors that represent a nexus of these two concepts: aptamer-based sensors (aptasensors) with optical detection (colorimetric, luminescent, or fluorescent) based on different peroxidase mimics, such as DNAzymes, nanoparticles, or metal-organic frameworks.

Strategy of functional nucleic acids-mediated isothermal amplification for detection of foodborne microbial contaminants: A review. Food Res Int 2023; 173:113286.

Abstract
Foodborne microbial contamination (FMC) is the leading cause of food poisoning and foodborne illness. The foodborne microbial detection methods based on isothermal amplification have high sensitivity and short detection time, and functional nucleic acids (FNAs) could extend the detectable object of isothermal amplification to mycotoxins. Therefore, the strategy of FNAs-mediated isothermal amplification has been emergingly applied in biosensors for foodborne microbial contaminants detection, making biosensors more sensitive with lower cost and less dependent on nanomaterials for signal output. Here, the mechanism of six isothermal amplification technologies and their application in detecting FMC is firstly introduced. Then the strategy of FNAs-mediated isothermal amplification is systematically discussed from perspectives of FNAs' versatility including recognition elements (Aptamer, DNAzyme), programming tools (DNA tweezer, DNA walker and CRISPR-Cas) and signal units (G-quadruplex, FNAs-based nanomaterials). Finally, challenges and prospects are presented in terms of addressing the issue of nonspecific amplification reaction, developing better FNAs-based sensing elements and eliminating food matrix effects.

Rapid and effective detection of Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus using a combination of nucleic acid sequence-based amplification test and immunochromatographic strip.

Abstract
Nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA) provides a fast and convenient approach for nucleic acid amplification under isothermal conditions, and its combination with an immunoassay-based lateral flow dipstick (LFD) could produce a higher detection efficiency for M. rosenbergii nodavirus isolated from China (MrNV-chin). In this study, two specific primers and a labelled probe of the capsid protein gene of MrNV-chin were constructed. The process of this assay mainly included a single-step amplification at a temperature of 41 ℃ for 90 min, and hybridization with an FITC-labeled probe for 5 min, with the hybridization been required for visual identification during LFD assay. The test results indicated that, the NASBA-LFD assay showed sensitivity for 1.0 fg M. rosenbergii total RNA with MrNV-chin infection, which was 104 times that of the present RT-PCR approach for the detection of MrNV. In addition, no products were created for shrimps with infection of other kinds of either DNA or RNA virus, which indicated that the NASBA-LFD was specific for MrNV. Therefore, the combination of NASBA and LFD is a new alternative detection method for MrNV which is rapid, accurate, sensitive and specific without expensive equipment and specialised personnel. Early detection of this infectious disease among aquatic organisms will help implement efficient therapeutic strategy to prevent its spread, enhance animal health and limit loss of aquatic breeds in the event of an outbreak.

Abstract
Despite the vast interest in utilizing rolling circle amplification (RCA)-based DNA networks for bioapplications, precise control of the mechanical and physicochemical properties is highly challenging. To address this concern, we aimed to develop ultrasoft self-supporting polymerized DNA networks (pDNets) of variable crystallinities to manipulate sequence-mediated drug release efficiency. A controlled ratio of the inorganic magnesium pyrophosphate (MgPPi) crystal to the organic polymeric DNA resulted in the synthesis of pDNets of various nanoporosities. The number of crystal microstructures influencing drug localization and release pattern and the tunable mechanical properties influencing injectability and structural stability under physiological conditions were investigated. The pDNets exhibited ultrasoft properties with Young's moduli of 0.06-0.54 Pa; approximately 9-fold differences in mechanical properties were obtained by varying the degree of crystallinity. With functional DNA sequences, the developed platforms showed pH stimuli-responsive drug release profiles of the dynamic DNA structures and aptamer-specific cell target adhesion efficiency. Analyses of controlled delivery of anticancer therapeutics in vitro and in vivo revealed crystallinity-dependent antitumor efficacy without side effects. This strategy provides an effective one-pot enzymatic polymerization methodology and a favorable microenvironment for a three-dimensional DNA network based on demand-localized drug delivery.

Ultrasensitive hairpin mediated upconversion fluorescence biosensor for Staphylococcus aureus detection in foods and waters exploiting g-C 3N 4-assisted catalysis. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1239:340738.

Abstract
A novel g-C3N4 nanosheets (g-C3N4 NSs)-assisted upconversion fluorescent aptasensor was proposed for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) detection by adopting hybridization chain reaction (HCR) as a sensitizer. Two hairpin (H1 and H2) structured DNA probes were engineered predicated on the partial complementary sequence (cDNA) of S. aureus aptamer and modified on the exterior of the upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), respectively. The presence of S. aureus initiated the HCR system and activated H1 and H2 probes to form a double-helix away from the g-C3N4 NSs vicinity. This led to the decrease in peroxidase-like activity (PA) of the g-C3N4 NSs and corresponding fluorescence recovery proportional to the concentration of S. aureus (10-106 cfu mL-1). The method was applied to real food samples with acceptable recoveries (91.1-101.6%) and further validated by traditional plate counting method (p > 0.05).

Abstract
Rapid and accurate detection and identification of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) are of great significance for food safety, environmental monitoring, early clinical diagnosis, and prevention of the spread of drug-resistant bacteria. Herein, we design a fluorometric aptasensor for ultra-sensitive, specific, and rapid detection of S. aureus. The apasensor combines the enrichment and separation of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), the biotin-streptavidin conjugation system, and a single S. aureus can release four signaling probes for signal amplification. Aptamer acts as a specific biorecognition element of S. aureus. Four FAM-labeled partially complementary sequences (FAM-pcDNAs) were used as signaling probes. The aptamers were sequential hybridized with the four FAM-pcDNAs to form aptamer&pcDNAs, which were then bound to MNPs via the biotin-streptavidin. When the aptamer specifically recognizes and binds to S. aureus, the FAM-pcDNAs signaling probes are replaced and released into the supernatant. The concentration of S. aureus can be quantified by measuring the fluorescence intensity (λexc/em = 492/520 nm) of the replaced signaling probe FAM-pcDNAs. The results show that the proposed fluorometric aptasensor displays good specificity, ultra-high sensitivity (1.23 cfu/mL), wide linear range (1 ~ 108 cfu/mL), and fast detection speed (~ 1.5 h). The recovery test verifies further that the proposed fluorometric aptasensor can detect S. aureus in spiked blood samples. Since aptamers are easy to customize, we believe that fluorometric aptasensors based on multiple amplification have broad prospects in the construction of practical high-performance biosensors for bacterial detection. KEY POINTS: • Multiple amplification-based fluorometric aptasensor for S. aureus is developed • The aptasensor displays high specificity with a LOD of 1.23 CFU/mL • The aptasensor can directly detect S. aureus in spiked blood samples.

Abstract
The infection of Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) and the spread of drug-resistant bacteria pose a serious threat to global public health. Therefore, timely, rapid and accurate detection of S. aureus is of great significance for food safety, environmental monitoring, clinical diagnosis and treatment, and prevention of drug-resistant bacteria dissemination. Traditional S. aureus detection methods such as culture identification, ELISA, PCR, MALDI-TOF-MS and sequencing, etc., have good sensitivity and specificity, but they are complex to operate, requiring professionals and expensive and complex machines. Therefore, it is still challenging to develop a fast, simple, low-cost, specific and sensitive S. aureus detection method. Recent studies have demonstrated that fast, specific, low-cost, low sample volume, automated, and portable aptasensors have been widely used for S. aureus detection and have been proposed as the most attractive alternatives to their traditional detection methods. In this review, recent advances of aptasensors based on different transducer (optical and electrochemical) for S. aureus detection have been discussed in details. Furthermore, the applications of aptasensors in point-of-care testing (POCT) have also been discussed. More and more aptasensors are combined with nanomaterials as efficient transducers and amplifiers, which appears to be the development trend in aptasensors. Finally, some significant challenges for the development and application of aptasensors are outlined.

Abstract
Detection and quantification of biotargets are important analytical tasks, which are solved using a wide range of various methods. In recent years, methods based on the isothermal amplification of nucleic acids (NAs) have been extensively developed. Among them, a special place is occupied by rolling circle amplification (RCA), which is used not only for the detection of a specific NA but also for the analysis of other biomolecules, and is also a versatile platform for the development of highly sensitive methods and convenient diagnostic devices. The present review reveals a number of methodical aspects of RCA-mediated analysis; in particular, the data on its key molecular participants are presented, the methods for increasing the efficiency and productivity of RCA are described, and different variants of reporter systems are briefly characterized. Differences in the techniques of RCA-mediated analysis of biotargets of various types are shown. Some examples of using different RCA variants for the solution of specific diagnostic problems are given.

Abstract
Glycosylated PD-L1 is a more reliable biomarker for immune checkpoint therapy and plays important roles in tumor immunity. Glycosylation of PD-L1 hinders antibody-based detection, which is partially responsible for the inconsistency between PD-L1 immunohistochemical results and therapeutic treatment response. Herein, we present a proximity ligation assay mediated rolling circle amplification (PLA-RCA) strategy for amplified imaging of glycosylated PD-L1 in situ. The strategy relies on a pair of DNA probes: an aptamer probe to specifically recognize cellular surface protein PD-L1 and a glycan conversion (GC) probe for metabolic glycan labeling. Upon proximity ligation of sequence binding to the two probes, the proximity ligation-triggered RCA occurs. The feasibility of the as-proposed strategy has been validated as it realized the visualization of PD-L1 glycosylation in different cancer cells and the monitoring of the variation of PD-L1 glycosylation during drug treatment. Thus, we envision the present work offers a useful alternative to track protein-specific glycosylation and potentially advances the investigation of the dynamic glycan state associated with the disease process.

Abstract
A comparative review of the most common isothermal methods is provided. In the last two decades, the challenge of using isothermal amplification systems as an alternate to the most extensive and long-standing nucleic acids-amplifying method-the polymerase chain reaction-has arisen. The main advantage of isothermal amplification is no requirement for expensive laboratory equipment for thermal cycling. Considerable efforts have been made to improve the current techniques of nucleic acid amplification and the development of new approaches based on the main drawbacks of each method. The most important and challenging goal was to achieve a low-cost, straightforward system that is rapid, specific, accurate, and sensitive.

Abstract
Rolling circle amplification (RCA) is an efficient enzymatic isothermal reaction that using circular probe as a template to generate long tandem single-stranded DNA or RNA products under the initiation of short DNA or RNA primers. As a simplified derivative of natural rolling circle replication which synthesizes copies of circular nucleic acids molecules such as plasmids, RCA amplifies the circular template rapidly without thermal cycling and finds various applications in molecular biology. Compared with other amplification strategies, RCA has many obvious advantages. Firstly, because of the strict complementarity required in ligation of a padlock probe, it endows the RCA reaction with high specificity and can even be utilized to distinguish single base mismatches. Secondly, through the introduction of multiple primers, exponential amplification can be achieved easily and leads to a good sensitivity. Thirdly, RCA products can be customized by manipulating circular templates to generate functional nucleic acids such as aptamer, DNAzymes and restriction enzyme sites. Moreover, the RCA has good biocompatibility and is especially suitable for in situ detection. Therefore, RCA has attracted considerable attention as an efficient and potential tool for highly sensitive detection of biomarkers. Herein, we comprehensively introduce the fundamental principles of RCA technology, summarize it from three aspects including initiation mode, amplification mode and signal output mode, and discuss the recent application of RCA-based biosensor in this review.

Abstract
Aptamers have gained an increasing role as the molecular recognition element (MRE) in diagnostic assay development, since their first conception thirty years ago. The process to screen for nucleic acid-based binding elements (aptamers) was first described in 1990 by the Gold Laboratory. In the last three decades, many aptamers have been identified for a wide array of targets. In particular, the number of reports on investigating single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) aptamer applications in biosensing and diagnostic platforms have increased significantly in recent years. This review article summarizes the recent (2015 to 2020) progress of ssDNA aptamer research on bacteria, proteins, and lipids of bacterial origins that have implications for human infections. The basic process of aptamer selection, the principles of aptamer-based biosensors, and future perspectives will also be discussed.

Abstract
Circular nucleic acids (CNAs) are nucleic acid molecules with a closed-loop structure. This feature comes with a number of advantages including complete resistance to exonuclease degradation, much better thermodynamic stability, and the capability of being replicated by a DNA polymerase in a rolling circle manner. Circular functional nucleic acids, CNAs containing at least a ribozyme/DNAzyme or a DNA/RNA aptamer, not only inherit the advantages of CNAs but also offer some unique application opportunities, such as the design of topology-controlled or enabled molecular devices. This article will begin by summarizing the discovery, biogenesis, and applications of naturally occurring CNAs, followed by discussing the methods for constructing artificial CNAs. The exploitation of circular functional nucleic acids for applications in nanodevice engineering, biosensing, and drug delivery will be reviewed next. Finally, the efforts to couple functional nucleic acids with rolling circle amplification for ultra-sensitive biosensing and for synthesizing multivalent molecular scaffolds for unique applications in biosensing and drug delivery will be recapitulated.

Abstract
Recently, there has been a rapid progress in the development of techniques for isothermal amplification of nucleic acids as an alternative to polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The advantage of these methods is that the nucleic acids amplification can be carried out at constant temperature, unlike PCR, which requires cyclic temperature changes. Moreover, isothermal amplification can be conducted directly in living cells. This review describes the principles of isothermal amplification techniques and demonstrates their high efficiency in designing new highly sensitive detection methods of nucleic acids and enzymes involved in their modifications. The data on successful application of isothermal amplification methods for the analysis of cells and biomolecules with the use of DNA/RNA aptamers are presented.

Abstract
A colorimetric microplate assay for determination of Staphylococcus aureus DNA is described. Linear padlock probes were designed to recognize target sequences. After DNA binding, the linear padlock probes were circularized by ligation and then hybridize with biotin-labeled capture probes. Biotin-labeled capture probes act as primers to initiate the RCA. The biotin-labeled RCA products hybridize with digoxin-labeled signal probes fixed on streptavidin-functionalized wells of a 96-well plate. To enhance sensitivity, an AuNP-anti-digoxigenin-POx-HRP conjugate was added to the wells and then bound to digoxin-labeled signalling probes. The oxidation of tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H2O2 produces a color change from colorless to blue via HRP catalysis. After the reaction was terminated, absorbance is measured at 450 nm. For target sequences of Staphylococcus aureus, the detection limit is 1.2 pM. For genomic DNA, the detection limit is 7.4 pg.μL-1. The potential application of the method was verified by analyzing spiked food samples. Graphical abstractSchematic representation of rolling circle amplification and functionalized AuNP-based colorimetric determination of Staphylococcus aureus. The method uses streptavidin-functionalized 96-well plates and RCA as a molecular tool and AuNP-anti-digoxigenin-POx-HRP as signal transduction markers to increase sensitivity.

Abstract
Recent advances in food packaging materials largely rely on nanotechnology structuring. Owing to several unique properties of nanostructures that are lacking in their bulk forms, the incorporation of nanostructures into packaging materials has greatly improved the performance and enriched the functionalities of these materials. This review focuses on the functions and applications of widely studied nanostructures for developing novel food packaging materials. Nanostructures that offer antimicrobial activity, enhance mechanical and barrier properties, and monitor food product freshness are discussed and compared. Furthermore, the safety and potential toxicity of nanostructures in food products are evaluated by summarizing the migration activity of nanostructures to different food systems and discussing the metabolism of nanostructures at the cellular level and in animal models.

Abstract
Nucleic acid amplification methods are increasingly being used to detect trace quantities of DNA in samples for various diagnostic applications. However, quantifying the amount of DNA from such methods often requires time consuming purification, washing or labeling steps. Here, we report a novel microfluidic centrifugation assisted precipitation (μCAP) method for single-step DNA quantification. The method is based on formation of a visible precipitate, which can be quantified, when an intercalating dye (GelRed) is added to the DNA sample and centrifuged for a few seconds. We describe the mechanism leading to the precipitation phenomenon. We utilize centrifugal microfluidics to precisely control the formation of the visible and quantifiable mass. Using a standard CMOS sensor for imaging, we report a detection limit of 45 ng μl-1. Furthermore, using an integrated lab-on-DVD platform we recently developed, the detection limit is lowered to 10 ng μl-1, which is comparable to those of current commercially available instruments for DNA quantification. As a proof of principle, we demonstrate the quantification of LAMP products for a HIV-1B type genome containing plasmid on the lab-on-DVD platform. The simple DNA quantification system could facilitate advanced point of care molecular diagnostics.

Abstract
A new, facile, low-cost, and highly sensitive method for detection of Listeria monocytogenes involving a combination of asymmetric polymerase chain reaction (aPCR) and rolling circle amplification (RCA) had been developed. The aPCR-RCA processes were not new but components of the processes made the assay useful. Twenty-one thymine (21-T) tagged forward primer generated universal twenty-one adenine (21-A) aPCR amplicons after aPCR amplification. A poly-T sequence dumbbell-like RCA template was produced through the blunt-end ligation activity of T4 DNA ligase. After the mixture of aPCR amplicons and dumbbell-like RCA template, the RCA reaction would initiate when the addition of phi29 DNA polymerase, then a large number of G-quadruplex sequences were produced which allowed the intercalation of Thioflavin T (3,6-dimethyl-2-(4-dimethylaminophenyl) benzo-thiazolium cation, THT) for easy fluorescence detection. Under the optimal conditions, the assay showed a limit of detection (LOD) of 4.8 × 101 CFU/mL in pure culture and 4.0 × 102 CFU/g in spiked lettuce homogenates. By changing the aPCR primer, the aPCR-RCA method developed in this study had a potential to detect other bacteria without the design an RCA template for each bacterium.
