Abstract
Concern about food safety triggers demand on rapid, accurate and on-site detection of foodborne pathogens. Among various fluorescent probes for detection, carbon dots (CDs) prepared by carbonization of carbon-rich raw materials show extraordinary performance for their excellent and tailorable photoluminescence property, as well as their facilely gained specificity by surface customization and modification. CDs-based fluorescent probes play a crucial role in many pathogenic bacteria sensing systems. In addition, microfluidic technology with characteristics of portability and functional integration is expected to combine with CDs-based fluorescent probes for point-of-care testing (POCT), which can further enhance the detection property of CDs-based fluorescent probes. Here, this paper reviews CDs-based bacterial detection methods and systems, including the structural modulation of fluorescent probes and pathogenic bacteria detection mechanisms, and describes the potential of combining CDs with microfluidic technology, providing reference for the development of novel rapid detection technology for pathogenic bacteria in food.

Anal Bioanal Chem 2024:10.1007/s00216-024-05300-1. [PMID: 38656364 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05300-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
The search for bacteria-labeling agents that are more efficient and less toxic compared to existing staining dyes is ongoing. Fluorescent quantum dots and carbon dots (CDs) have been extensively researched for various bioimaging applications. Priority is given to CDs due to several advantages, including lower toxicity, versatility in tuning their properties, and better photostability compared to metal-based quantum dots. Although significant progress is still needed to replace existing dyes with CDs for bacteria labeling, they offer promising potential for further improvement in efficiency. Surface charges and functional groups have been reported as decisive factors for bacterial discrimination and live/dead assays; however, a complete guideline for preparing CDs with optimum properties for efficient staining and predicting their labeling performance is lacking. In this review, we discuss the application of fluorescent CDs for bacterial labeling and the underlying mechanisms and principles. We primarily focus on the application and mechanism of CDs for Gram differentiation, live imaging, live/dead bacteria differentiation, bacterial viability testing, biofilm imaging, and the challenges associated with application of CDs. Based on proposed mechanisms of bacterial labeling and ambiguous results reported, we provide our view and guidelines for the researchers in this field to overcome the challenges associated with bacteria labeling using fluorescent CDs.

Abstract
The development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), along with the relative reduction in the production of new antimicrobials, significantly limits the therapeutic options in infectious diseases. Thus, novel treatments, especially in the current era, where AMR is increasing, are urgently needed. There are several ongoing studies on non-classical therapies for infectious diseases, such as bacteriophages, antimicrobial peptides, and nanotechnology, among others. Nanomaterials involve materials on the nanoscale that could be used in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infectious diseases. This review provides an overview of the applications of nanotechnology in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases from a clinician's perspective, with a focus on pathogens with AMR. Applications of nanomaterials in diagnosis, by taking advantage of their electrochemical, optic, magnetic, and fluorescent properties, are described. Moreover, the potential of metallic or organic nanoparticles (NPs) in the treatment of infections is also addressed. Finally, the potential use of NPs in the development of safe and efficient vaccines is also reviewed. Further studies are needed to prove the safety and efficacy of NPs that would facilitate their approval by regulatory authorities for clinical use.

Abstract
In recent years, antibiotic-based carbon nanodots have been extensively developed and studied, because of their excellent synergistic fluorescence and antibacterial properties. These antibacterial carbon nanodots have also been developed with various new applications, such as heavy iron detection, pH sensitivity, temperature response, and bacterial count detection in various environments. In this article, using vancomycin hydrochloride as the only precursor, vancomycin hydrochloride carbon nanodots were rapidly synthesized by a one-step microwave method. The diameter of the vancomycin hydrochloride carbon nanodots was concentrated at 0.899 ± 0.40 nm with a uniform size and excitation-dependent fluorescence. Vancomycin hydrochloride carbon nanodots showed better antibacterial activity than the original vancomycin hydrochloride with low biological toxicity and good stability. In the pH range of approximately 7-13, there was a good linear relationship between the fluorescence intensity of the carbon nanodots and the pH value (R2 = 0.98516). Moreover, vancomycin hydrochloride carbon nanodots could quickly and specifically detect poisonous Sn4+ through changes in their fluorescence intensity, with a detection limit of approximately 5.2 μM. Multifunctional vancomycin hydrochloride carbon nanodots have good application prospects in the fields of antibacterial, toxic Sn4+ detection, and pH-sensitive aspects.

Abstract
Antibiotics play an important role in the treatment of diseases, but bacterial resistance caused by their widespread and unreasonable use has become an urgent problem in clinical treatment. With the rapid advancement of nanoscience and nanotechnology, the development of nanomedicine has been transformed into a new approach to the problem of bacterial resistance. As a new type of carbon-based nanomaterial, carbon dots (CDs) have attracted the interest of antibacterial researchers due to their ease of preparation, amphiphilicity, facile surface functionalization, and excellent optical properties, among other properties. This article reviewed the synthesis methods and properties of various CDs and their composites in order to highlight the advancements in the field of CDs-based antibacterial agents. Then we focused on the relationship between the principal properties of CDs and the antibacterial mechanism, including the following: (1) the physical damage caused by the small size, amphiphilicity, and surface charge of CDs. (2) Photogenerated electron transfer characteristics of CDs that produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in themselves or in other compounds. The ability of ROS to oxidize can lead to the lipid peroxidation of cell membranes, as well as damage proteins and DNA. (3) The nano-enzyme properties of CDs can catalyze reactions that generate ROS. (4) Synergistic antibacterial effect of CDs and antibiotics or other nanocomposites. Finally, we look forward to the challenges that CDs-based nanocomposites face in practical antibacterial applications and propose corresponding solutions to further expand the application potential of nanomaterials in the treatment of infectious diseases, particularly drug-resistant bacterial infections.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria can pose a great threat to food safety and human health. It is therefore imperative to develop a rapid, portable, and sensitive determination and discrimination method for pathogenic bacteria. Over the past few years, various nanomaterials (NMs) have been employed as desirable nanoprobes because they possess extraordinary properties that can be used for optical signal enabled detection and identification of bacteria. By means of modification, NMs can, depending on different mechanisms, sense targets directly or indirectly, which then provides an essential support for the detection and differentiation of pathogenic bacteria. In this review, recent application of NMs-based optical biosensors for food safety bacterial detection and discrimination is performed, mainly in but not limited to noble metal NMs, fluorescent NMs, and point-of-care testing (POCT). This review also focuses on future trends in bacterial detection and discrimination, and machine learning in performing intelligent rapid detection and multiple accurate identification of bacteria.

Abstract
Eradication of biofilms that may harbor pathogens in water distribution systems is an elusive goal due to limited penetration of residual disinfectants. Here, we explore the use of engineered filamentous coliphage M13 for enhanced biofilm affinity and precise delivery of lytic polyvalent phages (i.e., broad-host-range phages lysing multiple host strains after infection). To promote biofilm attachment, we modified the M13 major coat protein (pVIII) by inserting a peptide sequence with high affinity for Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) extracellular polysaccharides (commonly present on the surface of biofilms in natural and engineered systems). Additionally, we engineered the M13 tail fiber protein (pIII) to contain a peptide sequence capable of binding a specific polyvalent lytic phage. The modified M13 had 102- and 5-fold higher affinity for P. aeruginosa-dominated mixed-species biofilms than wildtype M13 and unconjugated polyvalent phage, respectively. When applied to a simulated water distribution system, the resulting phage conjugates achieved targeted phage delivery to the biofilm and were more effective than polyvalent phages alone in reducing live bacterial biomass (84 vs 34%) and biofilm surface coverage (81 vs 22%). Biofilm regrowth was also mitigated as high phage concentrations induced residual bacteria to downregulate genes associated with quorum sensing and extracellular polymeric substance secretion. Overall, we demonstrate that engineered M13 can enable more accurate delivery of polyvalent phages to biofilms in flow-through systems for enhanced biofilm control.

Abstract
A material system enabling specific NIR-II fluorescence imaging of Gram-positive bacteria is described. The material system is based on the electrostatic binding of Cu2-xSe and vancomycin-modified NaGdF4:Nd,Yb@NaGdF4 downconversion nanoparticles (DCNPs), the fluorescence of which is weak owing to the spectral overlap of Cu2-xSe absorption with the DCNP NIR emission. The presence of Gram-positive bacteria precisely disconnects the bond between vancomycin-modified DCNPs and Cu2-xSe, thus enabling a strong fluorescent signal. In vivo studies show that the material system can be specifically activated at the site of Gram-positive bacterial infection but is essentially nonfluorescent in the area of Gram-negative bacterial infection.

Abstract
Drug-resistant bacteria are caused by antibiotic abuse and/or biofilm formation and have become a threat to the food industry. Carbon dot (CD)-based nanomaterials are a very promising tools for combating pathogenic and spoilage bacteria, and they possess exceptional and adjustable photoelectric and chemical properties. In view of the rapid development of CD-based nanomaterials and their increasing popularity in the food industry, a comprehensive and updated review is needed to summarize their antimicrobial mechanisms and applications in foods. This review discusses the synthesis of CDs, antimicrobial mechanisms, and their applications for extending the shelf life of food. It includes the synthesis of CDs using small molecules, polymers, and biomass. It also discusses the different antimicrobial mechanisms of CDs and their use as antibacterial agents and carriers/ligands. CD-based materials have proven effective against pathogenic and spoilage bacteria in food by inhibiting planktonic bacteria and biofilms. Optimization of the production parameters of CDs can help them achieve a full-spectral response, but degradability still requires further research.

Abstract
Bacterial contamination of blood products is a major problem in transfusion medicine, in terms of both morbidity and mortality. Platelets (PLTs) are stored at room temperature (under constant agitation) for more than 5 days, and bacteria can thus grow significantly from a low level to high titers. However, conventional methods like blood culture and lateral flow assay have disadvantages such as long detection time, low sensitivity, and the need for a large volume of blood components. We used real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays with antibiotic-conjugated magnetic nanobeads (MNBs) to detect enriched Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. The MNBs were coated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to prevent aggregation by blood components. Over 80% of all bacteria were captured by the MNBs, and the levels of detection were 101 colony forming unit [CFU]/mL and 102 CFU/mL for Gram-positive and -negative bacteria, respectively. The detection time is < 3 h using only small volumes of blood components. Thus, compared to conventional methods, real-time PCR using MNBs allows for rapid detection with high sensitivity using only a small volume of blood components.

Abstract
Pollution-induced degradation of the environment is a serious problem for both developing and developed countries. Existing remediation methods are restricted, necessitating the development of novel remediation technologies. Nanomaterials with unique characteristics have recently been developed for remediation. Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanoparticles (1-10 nm) with optical and electrical characteristics that differ from bigger particles owing to quantum mechanics, making them intriguing for sensing and remediation applications. Carbon dots (CDs) offer better characteristics than typical QDs, such as, CdSe QDs in terms of contaminant sensing and remediation. Non-toxicity, chemical inertness, photo-induced electron transfer, good biocompatibility, and adjustable photoluminescence behavior are all characteristics of CDs. CDs are frequently made from sustainable raw materials as they are cost-effective, environmentally compactable, and excellent in reducing waste generation. The goal of this review article is to briefly describe CDs fabrication methods, to deeply investigate the criteria and properties of CDs that make them suitable for sensing and remediation of contaminants, and also to highlight recent advances in their use in sensing and remediation of contaminants.

Abstract
A signal shut-off probe of Si, N-codoped carbon quantum dots (Si, N-CQDs) was exploited to detect Cr(VI) by fluorescence quenching without the aid of any biomolecules or labeling materials. The sensing system prepared the precursor of diacetone acrylamide and the silane coupling agent 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH-550) by a simple hydrothermal method, and the quantum yield is as high as 75% Si, N-CQDs. The fluorescence stability and microstructure of the Si, N-CQDs were studied. The Si, N-CQDs has a high sensitivity for detecting Cr(VI) with the linear range of 0–200 μM and the detection limit of 0.995 μM. The quenching mechanism of Si, N-CQDs is attributed to FRET.

Abstract
This study aims to synthesize carbon dots from a natural resource and will be used to detect a latent fingerprint on a non-porous surface. The carbon dots (CDs) were prepared by adding luminol to coconut water and ethanol via a hydrothermal method. Luminol enhances the chemiluminescence of the CDs, which show more distinct blue light under a UV lamp compared with bare CDs. To detect the latent fingerprint, luminol carbon dots (N-CDs) were combined with commercial starch and stirred at room temperature for 24 h. Their characteristics and optical properties were measured using EDX-SEM, HR-TEM, FTIR, XPS, UV-visible absorption, and fluorescence. In this research, it was found that the N-CDs had a d-spacing of 0.5 nm and a size of 12.9 nm. The N-CDs had a fluorescence intensity 551% higher than the standard normally used. N-CDs can be used to detect latent fingerprints on a non-porous surface and are easy to detect under a UV lamp at 395 nm. Therefore, luminol has a high potential to increase sensitive and stable traces of chemiluminescence from the green CDs for forensic latent fingerprint detection.

Abstract
Photosensitizer (PS)-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted more and more attention as an alternative to traditional antibiotic therapy. Nevertheless, the limitations of traditional photosensitizers seriously hinder their practical application, as a result, the methods to improve the antibacterial properties of traditional photosensitizers have become a hot topic in the field of photomedicine. Herein, a compound nano-PS system has been constructed with synergistic photodynamic and photothermal (PTT) antibacterial effects, triggered by a dual-wavelength illumination. Fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized and employed as carriers for the delivery of curcumin (Cur) to obtain CDs/Cur. Upon combined near-infrared and 405 nm visible dual-wavelength irradiation, CDs/Cur could simultaneously generate ROS and a moderate temperature increase, triggering synergistic antibacterial effects against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The results of scanning electron microscopy and fluorescence confocal imaging showed that the combined effect of CDs/Cur with PDT and PTT caused more serious damage to the cell membrane. In addition, CDs/Cur exhibited low cytotoxicity and negligible hemolytic activity, showing great biocompatibility. Therefore, the construction of CDs/Cur by employing CDs as photosensitizer delivery carriers provides a strategy for the improvement of the antibacterial effect of the photosensitizer and the design of next-generation antibacterial agents in photomedicine.

Abstract
Infectious diseases are a potential risk for public health and the global economy. Fast and accurate detection of the pathogens that cause these infections is important to avoid the transmission of the diseases. Conventional methods for the detection of these microorganisms are time-consuming, costly, and not applicable for on-site monitoring. Biosensors can provide a fast, reliable, and point of care diagnostic. Nanomaterials, due to their outstanding electrical, chemical, and optical features, have become key players in the area of biosensors. This review will cover different nanomaterials that employed in electrochemical, optical, and instrumental biosensors for infectious disease diagnosis and how these contributed to enhancing the sensitivity and rapidity of the various sensing platforms. Examples of nanomaterial synthesis methods as well as a comprehensive description of their properties are explained. Moreover, when available, comparative data, in the presence and absence of the nanomaterials, have been reported to further highlight how the usage of nanomaterials enhances the performances of the sensor.

Abstract
The proposed aptamer- and antibiotic-based dual detection sensor, combines copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) as an effective approach for the recognition and quantification of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) as a pathogenic bacteria. A facile method for CuNCs based on vancomycin as the template using a fluorescence platform was proposed for the recognition of the S. aureus whole cells via antibiotic and aptamer. Using dual receptor functionalized CuNCs linked to vancomycin and a specific aptamer and during aggregation induce emission process enhanced fluorescence signal linearly with S. aureus concentrations between 102-108 CFU/mL, and the detection limit was 80 CFU/mL after 45 min as the optimum incubation time. Non-target bacteria generated negative results, proving the high specificity of the presented sensor. This strategy showed recoveries ranging 86%-98% in milk as real sample and can be used for the development of universal detection platforms for efficient and specific S. aureus detection with great potential applications for monitoring pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
This paper describes a near-infrared quantum dot (CuInS2 QD)/antibiotic (vancomycin) nanoparticle-based assay for the Staphylococcus aureus and iron(iii) detection. CuInS2 QDs with good biological tissue permeability and biocompatibility are combined with vancomycin through covalent interaction to form a detection system for two harmful factors. The detection principle of Staphylococcus aureus is mainly the fluorescence quenching caused by the accumulation of CuInS2@Van QDs on the surface of Staphylococcus aureus. The detection principles of the iron(iii) ion are mainly ascribed to the aggregation of quantum dots and the transfer of charges, which cause the fluorescence signal to change. The linear range of S. aureus and the Fe3+ ion is 103 to 108 CFU mL-1 and 10-90 μM, respectively. Their detection limits are 665 CFU mL-1 and 3.5 μM, respectively. The procedure was validated by the quantitation of Staphylococcus aureus and iron(iii) in spiked samples, and was found to demonstrate the feasibility of this method.

Abstract
The treatment of acute and chronic bone infections remains a major clinical challenge. The various factors released by the bacteria, acidic environment, and bacterial colonies in the bone grooves and implanted synthetic materials collectively promote the formation of biofilms. Dormant bacteria and biofilms cause infections that are difficult to cure and that can develop chronically. Therefore, a new antibacterial material was synthesized in the present study for multifunctional bone infection therapy and consists of specific demineralized extracellular cancellous bone (SDECM) crosslinked with vancomycin (Van) by means of electrostatic interactions and chemical bonds. It was verified in vitro that the new material (Van-SDECM) not only has pH-sensitive release and biofilm inhibition properties, but also maintains sustained bactericidal ability accompanied by the degradation of the scaffold, which does not affect its favorable osteogenic performance. The infectious bone defect in vivo model further confirms the comprehensive anti-infective and osteogenic ability of the Van-SDECM. Further, these favorable properties are due to the pH-sensitive sustained release sterilization and scaffold contact antibacterial properties, accompanied by osteoclast activity inhibition, osteogenesis promotion and immunoregulation effects. This study provides a new drug-scaffold composite preparation method based on a native-derived extracellular matrix scaffold.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is a growing public health concern and causes a huge medical and financial burden. It is of significance to efficiently construct multifunctional platforms for bacterial point-of-care testing (POCT) and elimination. Herein, near-infrared (NIR) light-responded vancomycin-doped prussian blue nanoparticles (PB-VANNPs) with high efficient photothermal conversion was synthesized for binding, dual-mode portable detection, and elimination of bacteria. The PB-VANNPs can bind to the surface of Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), forming complex of PB-VANNPs/S. aureus. After being centrifugated, the suspension solution of PB-VANNPs can stimulate perfluorohexane (PFH) to rapidly release oxygen (O2) under NIR irradiation. Thus, the bacteria can be sensitively detected with portable pressure meter as signal reader, reporting a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.0 CFU mL-1. On the other side, the sediment of PB-VANNPs/S. aureus can be detected via thermal camera, reporting a LOD of 1.0 CFU mL-1. Interestingly, the bacteria can be effectively inactivated with the local temperature elevation during temperature-based detection. The antibacterial efficiency reaches as high as 99.8%. The developed multifunctional nanoplatform not only provides a straightforward "mix-then-test" way for portable detection of bacteria with high sensitivity, also realizes high efficiency elimination of bacteria simultaneously. The developed strategy was further applied for promoting wound healing of bacteria-infected mice.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria, especially antibiotic-resistant bacteria, are one of the biggest threats to global health. To date, bacterial contamination is detected using conventional culturing techniques, which are highly dependent on expert users, limited by the processing time and on-site availability. Hence, real-time and continuous monitoring of pathogen levels is required to obtain valuable information that could assist health agencies in guiding prevention and containment of pathogen-related outbreaks. Nanotechnology-based smart sensors are opening new avenues for early and rapid detection of such pathogens at the patient's point-of-care. Nanomaterials can play an essential role in bacterial sensing owing to their unique optical, magnetic, and electrical properties. Carbon nanoparticles, metallic nanoparticles, metal oxide nanoparticles, and various types of nanocomposites are examples of smart nanomaterials that have drawn intense attention in the field of microbial detection. These approaches, together with the advent of modern technologies and coupled with machine learning and wireless communication, represent the future trend in the diagnosis of infectious diseases. This review provides an overview of the recent advancements in the successful harnessing of different nanoparticles for bacterial detection. In the beginning, we have introduced the fundamental concepts and mechanisms behind the design and strategies of the nanoparticles-based diagnostic platform. Representative research efforts are highlighted for in vitro and in vivo detection of bacteria. A comprehensive discussion is then presented to cover the most commonly adopted techniques for bacterial identification, including some seminal studies to detect bacteria at the single-cell level. Finally, we discuss the current challenges and a prospective outlook on the field, together with the recommended solutions.

Abstract
Microbial infections are still among the major public health concerns since several yeasts and fungi, and other pathogenic microorganisms, are responsible for continuous growth of infections and drug resistance against bacteria. Antimicrobial resistance rate is fostering the need to develop new strategies against drug-resistant superbugs. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small peptide-based molecules of 5–100 amino acids in length, with potent and broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. They are part of the innate immune system, which can represent a minimal risk of resistance development. These characteristics contribute to the description of these molecules as promising new molecules in the development of new antimicrobial drugs. However, efforts in developing new medicines have not resulted in any decrease of drug resistance yet. Thus, a technological approach on improving existing drugs is gaining special interest. Nanomedicine provides easy access to innovative carriers, which ultimately enable the design and development of targeted delivery systems of the most efficient drugs with increased efficacy and reduced toxicity. Based on performance, successful experiments, and considerable market prospects, nanotechnology will undoubtedly lead a breakthrough in biomedical field also for infectious diseases, as there are several nanotechnological approaches that exhibit important roles in restoring antibiotic activity against resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Multifunctional carbon dots (CDs) present enormous potential in numerous applications and have attracted widespread attention for various applications in the biomedical field. Bacterial infection is a common health issue; the development of antibacterial materials with low toxicity and good biocompatibility is becoming more important. In this work, we synthesized a new type of nitrogen co-doped carbon dots-genipin covalent conjugate (N-CDs-GP) via hydrothermal methods. The microstructure and chemical composition of the N-CDs-GP were characterized. The biocompatibility, stability, antibacterial activity, and fluorescence performance of the N-CDs-GP were assessed. The results revealed that N-CDs-GP possessed high biocompatibility, high light stability, and broad antibacterial activity. Additionally, selective Gram-positive bacterial imaging by N-CDs-GP provided a more rapid method of bacterial detection. The N-CDs-GP have the potential to be applied as bioimaging and antibacterial agents and for bacterial discrimination.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacterial infections are a significant threat to human safety and health. Recent researches on the application of nanoparticles as imaging, detecting agents have evidenced their huge potential for infectious disease management. Among these nanoparticles, carbon dots (CDs) have attracted much attention as a new and innovative nanoparticle owing to their unique optical and physicochemical properties as well as their higher biosafety. Thus, CDs are becoming superior candidates for imaging and detection of pathogenic bacteria. This review provides an overview of research advances and the mechanisms in the imaging and detection pathogenic bacteria such as "switch on" sensor, "on-off" sensor, förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), etc. Further, our discussion extends to exploring the antibacterial effects of CDs, which is considered to be a potentially promising antibacterial agent. This review would provide the basis and the direction for the further commercial applications of CDs in imaging, detecting and eliminating pathogenic bacteria. The challenges associated with CDs in monitoring of pathogenic bacteria and future directions in this field are also presented.

Abstract
Accurate and rapid identification of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is of great significance for controlling the food poisoning and infectious diseases caused by S. aureus. In this study, a novel strategy that combines lysin cell-binding domain (CBD)-based magnetic separation with fluorescence detection was developed for the specific and sensitive quantification of S. aureus in authentic samples. The S. aureus cells were separated from the sample matrix by lysin CBD-functionalized magnetic beads. Following lysis by lysostaphin, intracellular catalase was released from S. aureus cells and detected by a fluorometric system composed of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and Amplex Red. S. aureus was quantified via the inhibitory effect of the released intracellular catalase on the fluorometric system since the catalase could decompose the H2O2. Optimized conditions afforded a calibration curve for S. aureus ranging from 1.0 × 102 to 1.0 × 107 CFU mL-1. The detection limit was as low as 78 CFU mL-1 in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and the total detection process could be completed in less than 50 min. Other bacteria associated with common food-borne and nosocomial infections negligibly interfered with S. aureus detection, except for Staphylococcus epidermidis, which may have slightly interfered. Moreover, the potential of this proposed method for practical applications has been demonstrated by detection assays of sterilized milk and human serum. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
The development of new antibacterial agents to deal with the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance in Gram-positive bacterial pathogens has become an increasing problem. Here, a new strategy is developed for the effective targeting and killing of Gram-positive bacteria based on vancomycin (Van)-modified gold nanostars (AuNSs). Our work has demonstrated that the Van-modified AuNSs (AuNSs@Van) can not only selectively recognize methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) but also kill MRSA under near-infrared laser irradiation in vitro. Additionally, AuNSs@Van shows satisfactory biocompatibility and antibacterial activity in treating bacterial infection in vivo. The attractive trait of AuNSs@Van is attributed to the physical effect of its antibacterial activity, with less potential for resistance development. The aforementioned advantages indicate the potential of AuNSs@Van as a photothermal antibacterial agent for effectively combating Gram-positive bacteria in the field of health care.

Abstract
The authors report on a fluorometric method for the rapid detection of BRCA1, CFRT and MRP3 gene mutations. These are associated with breast cancer, cystic fibrosis and autoimmune hepatitis diseases, respectively. Carbon nanodots with blue fluorescence (with excitation/emission maxima at 340/440 nm) were synthesized and characterized, and their interactions with DNA were investigated. Changes in the fluorescence intensity following interaction with ssDNA and dsDNA were used for specific DNA sequence of BRCA1, CFRT and MRP3 genes detection. The response to DNAs is linear up to 200 nM and the detection limit is 270 pM. The assay selectivity allows the detection of single gene mutations. Under optimum conditions, the assay can rapidly discriminate between wild type and mutated samples.
