Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen that causes nosocomial infections, resulting in unacceptable morbidity and mortality rates. In this work, we proposed the construction of a nanostructured ZnO-based electrochemical immunosensor for qualitative and semiquantitative detection of S. aureus using simple methods for growing zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) on a sensor board and immobilizing the anti-S. aureus antibody on ZnO NRs through cystamine and glutaraldehyde. The immunosensor detected S. aureus in the 103-107 colony-forming unit (CFU) mL-1 range and showed a limit of detection (LoD) around 0.792 × 103 CFU mL-1. Beyond a satisfactory LoD, the developed immunosensor presented other advantages, such as high versatility for point-of-care assays and a suitable selective factor that admits the detection of the S. aureus concentration range in human hand skin after washing. Moreover, the immunosensor showed the potential to be an excellent device to control nosocomial infection by detecting the presence of S. aureus in human hand skin.

Abstract
Foodborne pathogens, food adulterants, allergens, and toxic chemicals in food can cause major health hazards to humans and animals. Stringent quality control measures at all stages of food processing are required to ensure food safety. There is, therefore, a global need for affordable, reliable, and rapid tests that can be conducted at different process steps and processing sites, spanning the range from the sourcing of food to the end-product acquired by the consumer. Current laboratory-based food quality control tests are well established, but many are not suitable for rapid on-site investigations and are costly. Microfluidic paper analytical devices (μPADs) are a fast-growing field in medical diagnostics that can fill these gaps. In this review, we describe the latest developments in the applications of microfluidic paper analytic device (μPAD) technology in the food safety sector. State-of-the-art μPAD designs and fabrication methods, microfluidic assay principles, and various types of μPAD devices with food-specific applications are discussed. We have identified the prominent research and development trends and future directions for maximizing the value of microfluidic technology in the food sector and have highlighted key areas for improvement. We conclude that the μPAD technology is promising in food safety applications by using novel materials and improved methods to enhance the sensitivity and specificity of the assays, with low cost.

Abstract
The microbes on fresh processing tomatoes correlate closely with diseases, preservation, and quality control. Investigation of the microbial communities on processing tomatoes from different production regions may help define microbial specificity, inform disease prevention methods, and improve quality. In this study, surface microbes on processing tomatoes from 10 samples in two primary production areas of southern and northern Xinjiang were investigated by sequencing fungal internal transcribed spacer and bacterial 16S rRNA hypervariable sequences. A total of 133 different fungal and bacterial taxonomies were obtained from processing tomatoes in the two regions, of which 63 genera were predominant. Bacterial and fungal communities differed significantly between southern and northern Xinjiang, and fungal diversity was higher in southern Xinjiang. Alternaria and Cladosporium on processing tomatoes in southern Xinjiang were associated with plant pathogenic risk. The plant pathogenic fungi of processing tomatoes in northern Xinjiang were more abundant in Alternaria and Fusarium. The abundance of Alternaria on processing tomatoes was higher in four regions of northern Xinjiang, indicating that there is a greater risk of plant pathogenicity in these areas. Processing tomatoes in northern and southern Xinjiang contained bacterial genera identified as gut microbes, such as Pantoea, Erwinia, Enterobacter, Enterococcus, and Serratia, indicating the potential risk of contamination of processing tomatoes with foodborne pathogens. This study highlighted the microbial specificity of processing tomatoes in two tomato production regions, providing a basis for further investigation and screening for foodborne pathogenic microorganisms.

Abstract
A novel colorimetric platform was designed for the determination of S. aureus by utilizing a dual-recognition strategy, where wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)-functionalized magnetic beads were served as separation elements to capture and enrich S. aureus efficiently from the matrix. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) labeled chicken anti-protein A IgY (HRP-IgY) was used to label the captured S. aureus. A chicken IgY was introduced as a signal tracer to bind with staphylococcal protein A (SPA) on the surface of S. aureus, which can circumvent the interference from protein G-producing Streptococcus. Subsequently, the colorimetric signal was achieved by an HRP-catalyzed reaction, which was amplified by HRP-IgY bound by approximately 80,000 SPA molecules on one S. aureus. The entire detection process could be accomplished within 90 min. Under optimal conditions, the linear response of different S. aureus concentrations ranged from 7.8 × 102 to 2.0 × 105 CFU/mL and the limit of detection reached down to 3.9 × 102 CFU/mL. Some common non-target bacteria yielded negative results, indicating the excellent specificity of the method. The developed strategy was successfully applied to the determination of S. aureus in various types of samples with satisfactory recoveries. Therefore, the novel dual-recognition strategy possessed the advantages of high sensitivity, specificity, and low cost and exhibited considerable potential as a promising tool to defend public health.

Predictive Modeling of Phenotypic Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Selected Beta-Lactam Antimicrobials from Beta-Lactamase Resistance Genes. Antibiotics (Basel) 2024; 13:224. [PMID: 38534659 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics13030224] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The outcome of bacterial infection management relies on prompt diagnosis and effective treatment, but conventional antimicrobial susceptibility testing can be slow and labor-intensive. Therefore, this study aims to predict phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility of selected beta-lactam antimicrobials in the bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae from different beta-lactamase resistance genotypes. Using human datasets extracted from the Antimicrobial Testing Leadership and Surveillance (ATLAS) program conducted by Pfizer and retail meat datasets from the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System for Enteric Bacteria (NARMS), we used a robust or weighted least square multivariable linear regression modeling framework to explore the relationship between antimicrobial susceptibility data of beta-lactam antimicrobials and different types of beta-lactamase resistance genes. In humans, in the presence of the blaCTX-M-1, blaCTX-M-2, blaCTX-M-8/25, and blaCTX-M-9 groups, MICs of cephalosporins significantly increased by values between 0.34-3.07 μg/mL, however, the MICs of carbapenem significantly decreased by values between 0.81-0.87 μg/mL. In the presence of carbapenemase genes (blaKPC, blaNDM, blaIMP, and blaVIM), the MICs of cephalosporin antimicrobials significantly increased by values between 1.06-5.77 μg/mL, while the MICs of carbapenem antimicrobials significantly increased by values between 5.39-67.38 μg/mL. In retail meat, MIC of ceftriaxone increased significantly in the presence of blaCMY-2, blaCTX-M-1, blaCTX-M-55, blaCTX-M-65, and blaSHV-2 by 55.16 μg/mL, 222.70 μg/mL, 250.81 μg/mL, 204.89 μg/mL, and 31.51 μg/mL respectively. MIC of cefoxitin increased significantly in the presence of blaCTX-M-65 and blaTEM-1 by 1.57 μg/mL and 1.04 μg/mL respectively. In the presence of blaCMY-2, MIC of cefoxitin increased by an average of 8.66 μg/mL over 17 years. Compared to E. coli isolates, MIC of cefoxitin in Salmonella enterica isolates decreased significantly by 0.67 μg/mL. On the other hand, MIC of ceftiofur increased in the presence of blaCTX-M-1, blaCTX-M-65, blaSHV-2, and blaTEM-1 by 8.82 μg/mL, 9.11 μg/mL, 8.18 μg/mL, and 1.04 μg/mL respectively. In the presence of blaCMY-2, MIC of ceftiofur increased by an average of 10.20 μg/mL over 14 years. The ability to predict antimicrobial susceptibility of beta-lactam antimicrobials directly from beta-lactamase resistance genes may help reduce the reliance on routine phenotypic testing with higher turnaround times in diagnostic, therapeutic, and surveillance of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae.

Abstract
The widespread bacterial contamination caused by foodborne pathogens has continuously driven the development of advanced and potent food antimicrobial agents. In this study, two novel antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) named KTA and KTR were obtained by modifying a natural AMP, Leg2, from chickpea storage protein legumin hydrolysates. They were further predicted to be stable hydrophobic cationic AMPs of α-helical structure with no hemolytic toxicity by several online servers. Moreover, the AMPs exerted superior antibacterial activity against two representative Staphylococcus aureus strains thanks to the increased hydrophobicity and positive charge, with minimum inhibition concentration value (4.74-7.41 μM) significantly lower than that of Leg2 (>1158.70 μM). Further, this study sought to elucidate the specific antimicrobial mechanism against Gram-positive bacteria. It was found that the electrostatic interactions of the AMPs with peptidoglycan were vital for peptide activity in combating Gram-positive bacteria. Subsequently, the cell membrane of S. aureus cells was irreversibly disrupted by increasing permeability and impairing membrane components, which led to the massive release of intracellular substances and eventual cell death. Overall, this work demonstrated that KTA and KTR were active against Gram-positive bacteria via peptidoglycan targeting and membrane-disruptive mechanisms and paved the way for expanding their application potential to alleviate food contamination.

Abstract
Specific and rapid detection of live Staphylococcus aureus (S.A) in environmental and food samples is critically important for protecting human health. In order to fulfill this purpose, two kinds of novel egg yolk antibody (IgY) immobilized immunomagnetic beads (IMBs; mSiO2-IgY and mMOF-IgY), with core-shell mSiO2 and mMOF as substrate, were prepared for selectively enriching S.A from samples. Furthermore, the IMBs with captured S.A were collected and re-dissolved in 0.5 mL PBS. After that, a cotton swab coated with sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) was put in the solution to lyse S.A cells and emit ATP bioluminescence of the luciferin/luciferase system. Finally, a portable bioluminescence detector was used for quantification of ATP corresponding to S.A concentration. The results demonstrated that mMOF-IgY can enrich more S.A than mSiO2-IgY and emit a stronger signal. The reasons may be due to the higher immobilization amount of IgY on the IMBs. Under optimal conditions, the calibration line of S.A concentration was 10-105 CFU mL-1 by mMOF-IgY within 30 min. The low detection limit of S.A was 3 CFU mL-1. The results demonstrated that the assay takes much shorter time than plate counting. Its portability and excellent detection capability are suitable for rapid monitoring of specific pathogens in foods.

Abstract
Accurate and rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria is of great importance in the field of clinical diagnosis and food safety. Current methods for pathogenic bacteria detection have some problems in accurate, rapid and universal application. Here we proposed a pathogenic bacteria series piezoelectric quartz crystal (SPQC) sensor for achieving highly specific and sensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria. The universal sequences of common clinical pathogens screened by our group were used as detection targets. A new TALEs nuclease was synthesized as a recognition element, which recognizes double-stranded DNA at the level of a single base mismatch in the range of 17-19 bases. Targets could be specifically recognized by TALEs, resulting in the change of electrode surface, which would be further amplified by hybridization chain reaction and silver staining technique. Finally, the changes would be detected by SPQC system. This strategy was demonstrated to have excellent performance, enabling sensitive detection of targets with a detection limit of 25 cfu/mL in less than 3 h. What's more, the identification of single base mismatch could be achieved when the target ranging in length between 17 and 19 bases. The proposed method is rapid, accurate and easy universal application and expected to be applied in clinical diagnosis and food safety.

Abstract
Wastewater is discarded from several sources, including industry, livestock, fertilizer application, and municipal waste. If the disposed of wastewater has not been treated and processed before discharge to the environment, pathogenic microorganisms and toxic chemicals are accumulated in the disposal area and transported into the surface waters. The presence of harmful microbes is responsible for thousands of human deaths related to water-born contamination every year. To be able to take the necessary step and quick action against the possible presence of harmful microorganisms and substances, there is a need to improve the effective speed of identification and treatment of these problems. Biosensors are such devices that can give quantitative information within a short period of time. There have been several biosensors developed to measure certain parameters and microorganisms. The discovered biosensors can be utilized for the detection of axenic and mixed microbial strains from the wastewaters. Biosensors can further be developed for specific conditions and environments with an in-depth understanding of microbial organization and interaction within that community. In this regard, bacteriophage-based biosensors have become a possibility to identify specific live bacteria in an infected environment. This paper has investigated the current scenario of microbial community analysis and biosensor development in identifying the presence of pathogenic microorganisms.

Abstract
Bacterial infections seriously harm human health and cause many severe diseases, which triggered urgent demands to exploit specific and sensitive biosensor strategies for Staphylococcus aureus detection. Here, a colorimetric and photoelectrochemical dual-mode biosensor for S. aureus assay based on FePor-TPA was constructed. 2D FePor-TPA thin film and its bulk powder (FePor-TPA) were synthesized by in situ growth on ITO and a solvothermal condition, respectively, both of which exhibited excellent peroxidase-like and catalase-like activity, originating from their metalloporphyrin linkers. Benefiting from the in situ growth on ITO electrodes, the 2D FePor-TPA thin film also possessed a more ordered stacking mode and in turn exhibited good electrical conductivity, stable initial photocurrent, and high sensitivity to O2. As for bulk FePor-TPA, its porous structure and high specific surface area make it a possible scaffold to load an amount of AuNPs, the rabbit anti-Staphylococcus aureus Rosenbach tropina antibody (Ab2), and GOx for constructing the signal probe (GOx/Ab2@Au@FePor-TPA) and realizing catalytic amplification. With these satisfactory features in mind, the 2D FePor-TPA thin film and its bulk powder (FePor-TPA) were utilized to construct a dual and signal-on bioplatform for sensitively and selectively detecting S. aureus, which, as far as we know, has not been reported.

Abstract
The development of a colorimetric severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) detection assay with the WHO published ASSURED criteria is reported, in which the biosensor should have the following characteristics of (i) being affordable for low-income communities, (ii) sensitive, (iii) specific, (iv) user-friendly to be used by non-skilled personnel, (v) rapid and robust, (vi) equipment-free, and (vii) delivered to the end-users as a simple and easy to use point-of-care tool. Early viral infection detection prevents virus spread and controls the epidemic. We herein report the development of a colorimetric assay in which SARS-COV-2 variants can be detected by colorimetric observation of color on the sensing cotton swab surface. Using the developed biosensor assay, it is possible to discriminate between the various SARS-CoV-2 variants with a LOD of 100 ng/mL within 4 min including sample preconcentration and incubation step. The results illustrated the development of a SARS-CoV-2 colorimetric biosensor that can be mass produced, with low-reagent cost, and can be read-out visually in the field by nonskilled personnel.

Abstract
Microbial contaminants are responsible for several infectious diseases, and they have been introduced as important potential food- and water-borne risk factors. They become a global burden due to their health and safety threats. In addition, their tendency to undergo mutations that result in antimicrobial resistance makes them difficult to treat. In this respect, rapid and reliable detection of microbial contaminants carries great significance, and this research area is explored as a rich subject within a dynamic state. Optical sensing serving as analytical devices enables simple usage, low-cost, rapid, and sensitive detection with the advantage of their miniaturization. From the point of view of microbial contaminants, on-site detection plays a crucial role, and portable, easy-applicable, and effective point-of-care (POC) devices offer high specificity and sensitivity. They serve as advanced on-site detection tools and are pioneers in next-generation sensing platforms. In this review, recent trends and advances in optical sensing to detect microbial contaminants were mainly discussed. The most innovative and popular optical sensing approaches were highlighted, and different optical sensing methodologies were explained by emphasizing their advantages and limitations. Consequently, the challenges and future perspectives were considered.

Abstract
Respiratory infections, whether chronic or acute, are frequent in both children and adults and result in an economic burden in health care systems. In particular, for an immunocompromised patient, respiratory infection leads to acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, a leading cause of intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Most respiratory infections are caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, smoking, or air pollution. Over the last two decades, considerable improvements have been made in understanding and identifying respiratory infections. Various biosensing techniques have been developed with a range of targets to identify the infection at earlier stages. Recently, nanomaterials have been effectively applied to improve biosensors and their analytical performances. This review discusses recent biosensor developments for identifying respiratory infections caused by viruses and bacteria assisted by different types of nanomaterials and target molecules.

Abstract
Diagnosis of infection-causing microorganisms with sensitive, rapid, selective and economical diagnostic tests is critical to start the right treatment. With these tests, the spread of infections can be prevented. In addition to that, the detection of antimicrobial resistance also makes a significant contribution to public health. In recent years, different types of diagnostic tests have been developed as alternatives to traditional diagnostic tests used in clinics. In particular, colorimetric tests, which minimize the need for an instrument, have advantages owing to their cost effectiveness, rapid response and naked-eye detection and practical use. In this review, we especially focused on pH indicators and nanomaterial-based colorimetric tests in detection of infection-causing microorganisms and antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract
Foodborne illness caused by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) has posed a significant threat to human health. Herein, an integrated multifunctional nanoplatform was developed for fluorescence detection and inactivation of S. aureus based on cascade signal amplification coupled with single strand DNA-template copper nanoparticles (ssDNA-Cu NPs). Benefiting from reasonable design, one-step cascade signal amplification was achieved through strand displacement amplification combined with rolling circle amplification, followed by in-situ generation of copper nanoparticles. S. aureus detection could be performed through naked eye observation and microplate reader measurement of the red fluorescence signal. The multifunctional nanoplatform had satisfactory specificity and sensitivity, achieving 5.2 CFU mL-1 detection limit and successful detection of 7.3 CFU of S. aureus in spiked egg after < 5 h of enrichment. Moreover, ssDNA-Cu NPs could eliminate S. aureus to avoid secondary bacterial contamination without further treatment. Therefore, this multifunctional nanoplatform has potential application in food safety dtection.

Abstract
One of the most prevalent causes of foodborne illnesses worldwide is staphylococcal food poisoning. This study aimed to provide a robust method to extract the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus from food samples using glycan-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). Then, a cost-effective multi-probe genomic biosensor was designed to detect the nuc gene of S. aureus rapidly in different food matrices. This biosensor utilized gold nanoparticles and two DNA oligonucleotide probes combined to produce a plasmonic/colorimetric response to inform users if the sample was positive for S. aureus. In addition, the specificity and sensitivity of the biosensor were determined. For the specificity trials, the S. aureus biosensor was compared with the extracted DNA of Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE), and Bacillus cereus. The sensitivity tests showed that the biosensor could detect as low as 2.5 ng/µL of the target DNA with a linear range of up to 20 ng/µL of DNA. With further research, this simple and cost-effective biosensor can rapidly identify foodborne pathogens from large-volume samples.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most prevalent threats to public health. Rapid detection with high sensitivity and targeted killing is crucial to curb its spread. Herein, a metal-bearing nanocomposite, consisting of a bimetallic nanoparticle and a metal-organic framework (Au/Ir@Cu/Zn-MOF) was constructed. Upon conjugation with anti-S. aureus antibody, this nanocomposite (Ab-Au/Ir@Cu/Zn-MOF) was exploited for its dual functions, i.e. as a reporting probe in a lateral flow immunoassay and a high efficiency antibacterial reagent. Benefiting from the enrichment of Au/Ir NPs by the Cu/Zn-MOF, the Au/Ir@Cu/Zn-MOF-based lateral flow immunoassay sensor exhibited a visual limit of detection of 103 CFU/mL, which was100 times more sensitive than Au/Ir-based sensor. Moreover, the Ab-Au/Ir@Cu/Zn-MOF probe possessed synergistic photothermal-chemodynamic bactericidal effect that specifically targeted against S. aureus. Under a co-treatment by H2O2 (0.4 mM) and 808 nm near infrared irradiation (1 W/cm2, 5 min), complete sterilization of 5 × 105-106 CFU/mL S. aureus was achieved at a nanocomposite concentration as low as 6.25 μg/mL. The superior antibacterial efficiency was attributable to the three-fold properties of the Ab-Au/Ir@Cu/Zn-MOF probe: (1) enhanced multi-enzyme mimicking activities that promote reactive oxygen species generation, (2) high photothermal activity (efficiency of 53.70%), and (3) bacteria targeting ability via the antibody coating. By changing the antibody, this nanocomposite can be tailored to target a wide range of bacteria species, for detection and for precise antibacterial treatment.

Abstract
The detection of pathogenic bacteria is essential to prevent and treat infections and to provide food security. Current gold-standard detection techniques, such as culture-based assays and polymerase chain reaction, are time-consuming and require centralized laboratories. Therefore, efforts have focused on developing point-of-care devices that are fast, cheap, portable and do not require specialized training. Paper-based analytical devices meet these criteria and are particularly suitable to deployment in low-resource settings. In this Review, we highlight paper-based analytical devices with substantial point-of-care applicability for bacteria detection and discuss challenges and opportunities for future development.

Abstract
Minimizing antibiotic resistance is a key motivation strategy in designing and developing new and combination therapy. In this study, a combination of the antibiotics (cefixime, levofloxacin and gentamicin) with Lysobacter enzymogenes (L. enzymogenes) bioactive proteases present in the cell- free supernatant (CFS) have been investigated against the Gram-positive methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and the Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli O157:H7). Results indicated that L. enzymogenes CFS had maximum proteolytic activity after 11 days of incubation and higher growth inhibitory properties against MSSA and MRSA compared to E. coli (O157:H7). The combination of L. enzymogenes CFS with cefixime, gentamicin and levofloxacin at sub-MIC levels, has potentiated their bacterial inhibition capacity. Interestingly, combining cefixime with L. enzymogenes CFS restored its antibacterial activity against MRSA. The MTT assay revealed that L. enzymogenes CFS has no significant reduction in human normal skin fibroblast (CCD-1064SK) cell viability. In conclusion, L. enzymogenes bioactive proteases are natural potentiators for antimicrobials with different bacterial targets including cefixime, gentamicin and levofloxacin representing the beginning of a modern and efficient era in the battle against multidrug-resistant pathogens.

[PMID: 36560126 PMCID: PMC9785510 DOI: 10.3390/s22249757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 12/10/2022] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
Pathogens and their toxins can cause various diseases of different severity. Some of them may be fatal, and therefore early diagnosis and suitable treatment is essential. There are numerous available methods used for their rapid screening. Conventional laboratory-based techniques such as culturing, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are dominant. However, culturing still remains the "gold standard" for their identification. These methods have many advantages, including high sensitivity and selectivity, but also numerous limitations, such as long experiment-time, costly instrumentation, and the need for well-qualified personnel to operate the equipment. All these existing limitations are the reasons for the continuous search for a new solutions in the field of bacteria identification. For years, research has been focusing on the use of immunosensors in various types of toxin- and pathogen-detection. Compared to the conventional methods, immunosensors do not require well-trained personnel. What is more, immunosensors are quick, highly selective and sensitive, and possess the potential to significantly improve the pathogen and toxin diagnostic-processes. There is a very important potential use for them in various transport systems, where the risk of contamination by bioagents is very high. In this paper, the advances in the field of immunosensor usage in pathogenic microorganism- and toxin-detection, are described.

Abstract
An electroanalytical electrode for the detection of albendazole (ABZ) active ingredient in pharmaceutical dosage form and in contaminated animal-derived products was developed using a glassy carbon electrode modified with platinum-palladium nanoparticles. The electro-catalytic performance of the bimetallic-modified glassy carbon electrode was compared with its bare counterpart. Under optimized conditions, the modified electrode revealed two well-resolved anodic peak currents at 1.10 and 1.23 V using differential pulse voltammetry. Pure ABZ, as well as ABZ in spiked foods (milk and chicken), were detected with little interference from the food matrix. This electrode demonstrated high sensitivity and applicability, with a lower limit of detection of 0.08 µmol L-1 in aqueous solution and 10 µmol L-1 in the contaminated ground chicken and 100 µmol L-1 in the contaminated milk sample. The fabricated sensor is low in cost and appropriate for the estimation of albendazole in tablet dosage forms and biological samples, and so can act as a quality control tool in the pharmaceutical and food industry.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a "wicked evil" in this century due to its extended progression and huge human mortalities. Although the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 viral infection is made simple and practical by employing reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) investigation, the process is costly, complex, time-consuming, and requires experts for testing and the constraints of a laboratory. Therefore, these challenges have raised the paradigm of on-site portable biosensors on a single chip, which reduces human resources and enables remote access to minimize the overwhelming burden on the existing global healthcare sector. This article reviews the recent advancements in biosensors for long coronavirus disease (COVID) management using a multitude of devices, such as point-of-care biosensors and lab-on-chip biosensors. Furthermore, it details the shift in the paradigm of SARS-CoV-2-on-chip biosensors from the laboratory to on-site detection with intelligent and economical operation, representing near-future diagnostic technologies for public health emergency management.

Abstract
Infectious pathogens cause severe human illnesses and great deaths per year worldwide. Rapid, sensitive, and accurate detection of pathogens is of great importance for preventing infectious diseases caused by pathogens and optimizing medical healthcare systems. Inspired by a microbial defense system (i.e., CRISPR/ CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) system, an adaptive immune system for protecting microorganisms from being attacked by invading species), a great many new biosensors have been successfully developed and widely applied in the detection of infectious viruses and pathogenic bacteria. Moreover, advanced nanotechnologies have also been integrated into these biosensors to improve their detection stability, sensitivity, and accuracy. In this review, the recent advance in CRISPR/Cas systems-based nano/biosensors and their applications in the detection of infectious viruses and pathogenic bacteria are comprehensively reviewed. First of all, the categories and working principles of CRISPR/Cas systems for establishing the nano/biosensors are simply introduced. Then, the design and construction of CRISPR/Cas systems-based nano/biosensors are comprehensively discussed. In the end, attentions are focused on the applications of CRISPR/Cas systems-based nano/biosensors in the detection of infectious viruses and pathogenic bacteria. Impressively, the remaining opportunities and challenges for the further design and development of CRISPR/Cas system-based nano/biosensors and their promising applications are proposed.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) biocompatible systems can host enzymes/bacteria/viruses. Herein we synthesized a series of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH)-decorated UiO-66-NH2 based on Citrus tangerine leaf extract for drug delivery and biosensor applications. Five chemically manipulated FAAH-like benzamides were localized on the UiO-66-NH2 surface with physical interactions. Comprehensive cellular and molecular analyses were conducted on HEK-293, HeLa, HepG2, PC12, MCF-7, and HT-29 cell lines (cytotoxicity assessment after 24 and 48 h). MTT results proved above 95 and 50% relative cell viability in the absence and presence of the drug, respectively. A complete targeted drug-releasing capability of nanocarriers was demonstrated after capping with leaf extract from Citrus tangerine, with a stimuli-responsive effect in acidic media. Targeted delivery was complete to the nucleus and cytoplasm of HT-29 cell, but merely to the cytoplasm of HeLa cell lines. Nanocarrier could be targeted for drug delivery to the cytoplasm of the HeLa cell line and to both the nucleus and cytoplasm of HT-29 cell lines. MOF-based nanocarriers proved authentic in vivo towards kidney and liver tissues with targeted cancerous cells efficiently. Besides, FAAH-like molecules revealed optical biosensor potential with high selectivity (even ˂5 nM LOD) towards ssDNA, sgRNA, and Anti-cas9 proteins.

Abstract
As declared by WHO, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a high priority issue with a pressing need to develop impactful technologies to curb it. The rampant and inappropriate use of antibiotics due to the lack of adequate and timely diagnosis is a leading cause behind AMR evolution. Unfortunately, populations with poor economic status and those residing in densely populated areas are the most affected ones, frequently leading to emergence of AMR pathogens. Classical approaches for AMR diagnostics like phenotypic methods, biochemical assays, and molecular techniques are cumbersome and resource-intensive and involve a long turnaround time to yield confirmatory results. In contrast, recent emergence of nanotechnology-assisted approaches helps to overcome challenges in classical approaches and offer simpler, more sensitive, faster, and more affordable solutions for AMR diagnostics. Nanomaterial platforms (metallic, quantum-dot, carbon-based, upconversion, etc.), nanoparticle-based rapid point-of-care platforms, nano-biosensors (optical, mechanical, electrochemical), microfluidic-assisted devices, and importantly, nanotheranostic devices for diagnostics with treatment of AMR infections are examples of rapidly growing nanotechnology approaches used for AMR management. This review comprehensively summarizes the past 10 years of research progress on nanotechnology approaches for AMR diagnostics and for estimating antimicrobial susceptibility against commonly used antibiotics. This review also highlights several bottlenecks in nanotechnology approaches that need to be addressed prior to considering their translation to clinics.

Abstract
Development of rapid, sensitive, and selective method for pathogenic bacteria detection is of great importance for food safety, medical diagnostic, and environmental monitoring. Currently, most techniques for low numbers of bacteria detection require advanced instrumentation or skilled operators. Herein, we present a facile colorimetric detection platform for bacterial detection using Ag nanoplates as chromogenic substrate, which takes advantages of the high specificity and affinity of aptamer and the ability of catalase to hydrolyze H2O2 that can etch Ag nanoplates. By introducing catalase to the sandwich structure composed by dual-aptamer recognition strategy, bacteria detection signal is converted to the peak shift of LSPR and colorimetric change. This proposed method allows a fast naked-eye detection of S. aureus at the concentration of 60 CFU/mL based on the combination of streptavidin-biotin system and inherent sensitivity of plasmonic Ag nanoplates. Owing to the high selectivity and sensitivity, as well as the low-cost and good adaptability, this plasmonic assay is expected to be suitable for pathogenic bacteria detection in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
Despite progress in fighting infectious diseases, human pathogenesis and death caused by infectious diseases remain relatively high worldwide exceeding that of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Human adenovirus (HAdV) infects cells of the upper respiratory tract causing flu-like symptoms that are accompanied by pain and inflammation. Diagnosis of HAdV is commonly achieved by conventional methods such as viral cultures, immunoassays, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques. However, there are a variety of problems with conventional methods including slow isolation and propagation, inhibition by neutralizing antibodies, low sensitivity of immunoassays, and the diversity of HAdV strains for the PCR technique. Herein, we report the development and evaluation of a novel, simple, and reliable nanobased immunosensing technique for the rapid detection of human adenoviruses (HAdVs) that cause eye infections. This rapid and low-cost assay can be used for screening and quantitative tests with a detection limit of 102 pfu/mL in less than 2 min. The sensing platform is based on a sandwich assay that can detect HAdVs visually by a color change. Sensor specificity was demonstrated using other common viral antigens, including Flu A, Flu B, coronavirus (COV), and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS COV). This cotton-based testing device potentially exhibits many of the desired characteristics of a suitable point-of-care and portable test, which can be carried out by nurses or clinicians especially for low-resource settings.

Alhadrami HA, Suaifan GARY, Zourob MM. A Portable Nanoprobe for Rapid and Sensitive Detection of SARS-CoV-2 S1 Protein. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12040232. [PMID: 35448292 PMCID: PMC9024885 DOI: 10.3390/bios12040232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2022] [Revised: 03/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
Simple, timely, and precise detection of SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples and contaminated surfaces aids in lowering attendant morbidity/mortality related to this infectious virus. Currently applied diagnostic techniques depend on a timely laboratory report following PCR testing. However, the application of these tests is associated with inherent shortcomings due to the need for trained personnel, long-time centralized laboratories, and expensive instruments. Therefore, there is an interest in developing biosensing diagnostic frontiers that can help in eliminating these shortcomings with a relatively economical, easy-to-use, well-timed, precise and sensitive technology. This study reports the development of fabricated Q-tips designed to qualitatively and semi-quantitatively detect SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples and contaminated non-absorbable surfaces. This colorimetric sensor is engineered to sandwich SARS-CoV-2 spike protein between the lactoferrin general capturing agent and the complementary ACE2-labeled receptor. The ACE2 receptor is decorated with an orange-colored polymeric nanoparticle to generate an optical visual signal upon pairing with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. This colorimetric change of the Q-tip testing zone from white to orange confirms a positive result. The visual detection limit of the COVID-19 engineered colorimetric Q-tip sensor was 100 pfu/mL within a relatively short turnaround time of 5 min. The linear working range of quantitation was 103-108 pfu/mL. The engineered sensor selectively targeted SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and did not bind to another coronavirus such as MERS-CoV, Flu A, or Flu B present on the contaminated surface. This novel detection tool is relatively cheap to produce and suitable for onsite detection of COVID-19 infection.

Abstract
Due to differences in geographic surveillance systems, chemical sanitization practices, and antibiotic stewardship (AS) implementation employed during the COVID-19 pandemic, many experts have expressed concerns regarding a future surge in global antimicrobial resistance (AMR). A potential beneficiary of these differences is the Gram-positive bacteria MRSA. MRSA is a bacterial pathogen with a high potential for mutational resistance, allowing it to engage various AMR mechanisms circumventing conventional antibiotic therapies and the host’s immune response. Coupled with a lack of novel FDA-approved antibiotics reaching the clinic, the onus is on researchers to develop alternative treatment tools to mitigate against an increase in pathogenic resistance. Mitigation strategies can take the form of synthetic or biomimetic nanomaterials/vesicles employed in vaccines, rapid diagnostics, antibiotic delivery, and nanotherapeutics. This review seeks to discuss the current potential of the aforementioned nanomaterials in detecting and treating MRSA.

Abstract
Novel biosensors already provide a fast way to detect the adhesion of whole bacteria (or parts of them), biofilm formation, and the effect of antibiotics. Moreover, the detection sensitivities of recent sensor technologies are large enough to investigate molecular-scale biological processes. Usually, these measurements can be performed in real time without using labeling. Despite these excellent capabilities summarized in the present work, the application of novel, label-free sensor technologies in basic biological research is still rare; the literature is dominated by heuristic work, mostly monitoring the presence and amount of a given analyte. The aims of this review are (i) to give an overview of the present status of label-free biosensors in bacteria monitoring, and (ii) to summarize potential novel directions with biological relevancies to initiate future development. Optical, mechanical, and electrical sensing technologies are all discussed with their detailed capabilities in bacteria monitoring. In order to review potential future applications of the outlined techniques in bacteria research, we summarize the most important kinetic processes relevant to the adhesion and survival of bacterial cells. These processes are potential targets of kinetic investigations employing modern label-free technologies in order to reveal new fundamental aspects. Resistance to antibacterials and to other antimicrobial agents, the most important biological mechanisms in bacterial adhesion and strategies to control adhesion, as well as bacteria-mammalian host cell interactions are all discussed with key relevancies to the future development and applications of biosensors.

Abstract
A pair of aptamers for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is immensely needed for developing sandwich-type signal-on electrochemical aptasensors. In this study, we have successfully developed a cognate pair of aptamers that bind to S. aureus simultaneously, among many aptamer candidates screened out after a total of ten rounds of bacterial cell-based systemic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). The obtained aptamer candidates have been estimated by using flow cytometry and confocal microscope, to evaluate their binding affinity and specificity to the target cells. The screening for sandwich-type binding of cognate pair of aptamers with S. aureus was conducted by enzyme-based colorimetric assay and confirmed by circular dichroism (CD), two-color fluorescence imaging analysis, additionally. The cognate pair of two aptamers, named SA37 and SA81, showed very good affinity and specificity to S. aureus with their dissociation constants (Kd) of 16.5 ± 3.4 nM and 14.47 ± 8.18 nM, respectively. These newly discovered cognate pair of aptamers have been very successfully implemented to develop a sandwich-type signal-on electrochemical biosensor with the limit of detection (LOD) of 39 CFUs and 414 CFUs in buffer and spiked tap water samples, respectively. This study showed that this cognate pair of aptamers-based detection of S. aureus enables simple, rapid, and robust biosensors for food safety management.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by foodborne pathogens have become a serious public health problem. It is urgent to develop simple, rapid, and visual methods for pathogen detection. Herein, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), aptamer and vancomycin (Van) based dual-recognition molecules and magnetic enrichment were combined to realize visual detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Initially, S. aureus was bounded to aptamer coupled Fe3O4 with high affinity and selectivity, which can achieve the separation and enrichment of S. aureus in complex sample matrix. Subsequently, the second recognition molecule, Van, was conjugated to S. aureus -Apt - Fe3O4. Finally, the unbound Van supernatant was dropped in AuNPs solution that induced the aggregation of the AuNPs through freeze-thaw. Firstly, it was found that AuNPs were stable in the presence of Van after a freeze-thaw cycle. A facile visual colorimetric detection of S. aureus was constructed with the linear range from 101 to 104 CFU/mL and the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.2 CFU/mL. By altering the aptamer, this method can be extended to the other Gram-positive bacteria. The proposed method has great potential applications in monitoring food contamination and infectious diseases.

Abstract
Here, we developed a rapid, visual and double-checked Logic Gate detection platform for detection of pathogenic microorganisms by aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) in combination with Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR associated (Cas). DNA light-up AIEgens (1,1,2,2-tetrakis[4-(2-bromo-ethoxy) phenyl]ethene, TTAPE) was non-emissive but the emission was turned on in the presence of large amount of DNA produced by recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA). When CRISPR/Cas12a was added, all long-stranded DNA were cut leading to the emission quenched. Thus, a method that can directly observe the emission changes with the naked eye has been successfully constructed. The detection is speedy within only 20 min, and has strong specificity to the target. The result can be judged by Logic Gate. Only when the output signal is (1,0), does it represent the presence of pathogenic microorganisms in the test object. Finally, the method was applied to the detect pathogenic microorganisms in environmental water samples, which proved that this method has high selectivity, specificity and applicability for the detection of pathogenic microorganisms in environmental water samples.

Abstract
Dysregulation of sequential and synchronized events of skin regeneration often results in the impairment of chronic wounds. Conventional wound dressings fail to trigger the normal healing mechanism owing to the pathophysiological conditions. Tissue engineering approaches that deal with the fabrication of dressings using various biomaterials, growth factors, and stem cells have shown accelerated healing outcomes. However, most of these technologies are associated with difficulties in scalability and cost-effectiveness of the products. In this review, we survey the latest developments in wound healing strategies that have recently emerged through the multidisciplinary approaches of bioengineering, nanotechnology, 3D bioprinting, and similar cutting-edge technologies to overcome the limitations of conventional therapies. We also focus on the potential of wearable technology that supports complete monitoring of the changes occurring in the wound microenvironment. In addition, we review the role of advanced devices that can precisely enable the delivery of nanotherapeutics, oligonucleotides, and external stimuli in a controlled manner. These technological advancements offer the opportunity to actively influence the regeneration process to benefit the treatment regime further. Finally, the clinical relevance, trajectory, and prospects of this field have been discussed in brief that highlights their potential in providing a beneficial wound care solution at an affordable cost.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based artificial enzymes (or nanozymes) have attracted great attention in the past few years owing to their capability not only to mimic functionality but also to overcome the inherent drawbacks of the natural enzymes. Numerous advantages of nanozymes such as diverse enzyme-mimicking activities, low cost, high stability, robustness, unique surface chemistry, and ease of surface tunability and biocompatibility have allowed their integration in a wide range of biosensing applications. Several metal, metal oxide, metal-organic framework-based nanozymes have been exploited for the development of biosensing systems, which present the potential for point-of-care analysis. To highlight recent progress in the field, in this review, more than 260 research articles are discussed systematically with suitable recent examples, elucidating the role of nanozymes to reinforce, miniaturize, and improve the performance of point-of-care diagnostics addressing the ASSURED (affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid and robust, equipment-free and deliverable to the end user) criteria formulated by World Health Organization. The review reveals that many biosensing strategies such as electrochemical, colorimetric, fluorescent, and immunological sensors required to achieve the ASSURED standards can be implemented by using enzyme-mimicking activities of nanomaterials as signal producing components. However, basic system functionality is still lacking. Since the enzyme-mimicking properties of the nanomaterials are dictated by their size, shape, composition, surface charge, surface chemistry as well as external parameters such as pH or temperature, these factors play a crucial role in the design and function of nanozyme-based point-of-care diagnostics. Therefore, it requires a deliberate exertion to integrate various parameters for truly ASSURED solutions to be realized. This review also discusses possible limitations and research gaps to provide readers a brief scenario of the emerging role of nanozymes in state-of-the-art POC diagnosis system development for futuristic biosensing applications.

[PMID: 34562906 PMCID: PMC8464915 DOI: 10.3390/bios11090316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2021] [Revised: 08/29/2021] [Accepted: 09/01/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
The fast detection of trace amounts of hazardous contaminations can prevent serious damage to the environment. Paper-based sensors offer a new perspective on the world of analytical methods, overcoming previous limitations by fabricating a simple device with valuable benefits such as flexibility, biocompatibility, disposability, biodegradability, easy operation, large surface-to-volume ratio, and cost-effectiveness. Depending on the performance type, the device can be used to analyze the analyte in the liquid or vapor phase. For liquid samples, various structures (including a dipstick, as well as microfluidic and lateral flow) have been constructed. Paper-based 3D sensors are prepared by gluing and folding different layers of a piece of paper, being more user-friendly, due to the combination of several preparation methods, the integration of different sensor elements, and the connection between two methods of detection in a small set. Paper sensors can be used in chromatographic, electrochemical, and colorimetric processes, depending on the type of transducer. Additionally, in recent years, the applicability of these sensors has been investigated in various applications, such as food and water quality, environmental monitoring, disease diagnosis, and medical sciences. Here, we review the development (from 2010 to 2021) of paper methods in the field of the detection and determination of toxic substances.

Abstract
Milk fat is an essential nutrient for infant development. The effects and mechanisms of human, caprine, and bovine milk fat globules (MFGs) on the gut microbiota were investigated in this study. Human MFGs enhance the efficacy of probiotics by inhibiting pathogen function. Akkermansia and Bifidobacterium were identified as the dominant microbiota by human MFGs. Mucin and complement inhibitory proteins in human MFGs were found to inhibit different pathogens. Caprine MFGs directly promoted the colonization of probiotics and the emergence of the biomarker Allobaculum. Mucin 1 in caprine MFGs was primarily responsible for inducing probiotic adhesion. Bovine MFGs increased the abundance of Oscillospira, which reduces the risk of obesity. Due to the enrichment of cell-cell junction proteins and the lack of mucin, the regulation of gut microecology by bovine MFGs was not readily apparent. In short, this study paves the way for the development of functional infant formula.

Abstract
Robust, reliable, and affordable analytical techniques are essential for screening and monitoring food and water safety from contaminants, pathogens, and allergens that might be harmful upon consumption. Recent advances in decentralised, miniaturised, and rapid tests for health and environmental monitoring can provide an alternative solution to the classic laboratory-based analytical techniques currently utilised. Electrochemical biosensors offer a promising option as portable sensing platforms to expedite the transition from laboratory benchtop to on-site analysis. A plethora of electroanalytical sensor platforms have been produced for the detection of small molecules, proteins, and microorganisms vital to ensuring food and drink safety. These utilise various recognition systems, from direct electrochemical redox processes to biological recognition elements such as antibodies, enzymes, and aptamers; however, further exploration needs to be carried out, with many systems requiring validation against standard benchtop laboratory-based techniques to offer increased confidence in the sensing platforms. This short review demonstrates that electroanalytical biosensors already offer a sensitive, fast, and low-cost sensor platform for food and drink safety monitoring. With continued research into the development of these sensors, increased confidence in the safety of food and drink products for manufacturers, policy makers, and end users will result.

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
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the most commonly isolated foodborne pathogens, and is considered as a major cause of foodborne illnesses worldwide. However, the development of smart and accurate analytical methods for the simultaneous detection and elimination of S. aureus in matrices of food or drinks remains challenging. In the present work, a mussel-inspired material, ε-poly-l-lysine-3,4-dihydroxy benzaldehyde (EPD), was designed and fabricated based on its Schiff base structure. Owing to the robust ability of the material to adhere onto wet electrode surfaces and the pH-responsive properties of EPD, the prepared immunosensor exhibited an excellent detection limit and linear range with on-demand antibacterial activity. In real milk samples, the average values obtained from the immunosensor were approximate to the standard results obtained from the plate count method, and the relative standard deviation was 3.16–6.54%, suggesting the good accuracy of the developed method. Moreover, it exhibited good selectivity, reproducibility, and stability, thus demonstrating the potential significant applications of the electrochemical immunosensor in drinks safety monitoring.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most important food-borne bacterial pathogens and causes numerous illnesses. In this work, we report a sensitive and highly selective magnetic-aptamer biosensor based on a personal glucose meter (PGM) platform for the detection of Staphylococcus aureus. The aptamer for Staphylococcus aureus was immobilized on the magnetic bead by hybridization with the capture probe P. In the presence of Staphylococcus aureus, the aptamer was dissociated from the magnetic bead. Then the capture probe was exposed and could be hybridized with a biotinylated probe to trigger the DNA hybridization chain reaction (HCR), thus achieving the signal amplification. The concentration of streptavidin-labeled invertase can be read by PGM, thus can lead to the portable quantitative detection of Staphylococcus aureus. After optimization of various conditions, 5 μM probe P, the MB-P reaction time for 36 h, the competition time for 60 min, 0.5 μM H1 & H2, 0.5 M sucrose and the sucrose invertase catalytic reaction time for 50 min was chosen to achieve the better sensor performance. Under the optimal conditions, the fabricated sensor offers high sensitivity with the limit of detection about 2 CFU/mL. This sensitive PGM based sensor could successfully evaluate the Staphylococcus aureus concentration in real food samples, and the results are consistent with those obtained by using plate counting methods. Moreover, the PGM sensor can greatly reduce the required time compared to the plate counting methods. The fabricated sensor supplies an ideal solution for rapid portable detection of bacterial pathogens and holds its potential use in the quality control for agriculture and food enterprises, entry-exit inspection and quality testing for food.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, a significant increase in multi-drug-resistant pathogenic microorganisms has been of great concern and directed the research subject to the challenges that the distribution of resistance genes represent. Globally, high levels of multi-drug resistance represent a significant health threat and there is a growing requirement of rapid, accurate, real-time detection which plays a key role in tracking of measures for the infections caused by these bacterial strains. It is also important to reduce transfer of resistance genes to new organisms. The, World Health Organization has informed that millions of deaths have been reported each year recently. To detect the resistant organisms traditional detection approaches face limitations, therefore, newly developed technologies are needed that are suitable to be used in large-scale applications. In the present study, the aim was to design a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor with micro-contact imprinted sensor chips for the detection of Staphylococcus aureus. Whole cell imprinting was performed by N-methacryloyl-L-histidine methyl ester (MAH) under UV polymerization. Sensing experiments were done within a concentration range of 1.0 × 102-2.0 × 105 CFU/mL. The recognition of S. aureus was accomplished by the involvement of microcontact imprinting and optical sensor technology with a detection limit of 1.5 × 103 CFU/mL. Selectivity of the generated sensor was evaluated through injections of competing bacterial strains. The responses for the different strains were compared to that of S. aureus. Besides, real experiments were performed with milk samples spiked with S. aureus and it was demonstrated that the prepared sensor platform was applicable for real samples.
