Abstract
Salmonella typhimurium, as a major foodborne pathogen, poses a serious threat to public health safety worldwide. Here, we present a colorimetric biosensor based on aptamer recognition-induced multi-DNA release and peroxidase-mimicking three-way junction DNA-silver/platinum bimetallic nanoclusters (3WJ/DNA-Ag/PtNCs) for the detection of S. typhimurium. In this method, S. typhimurium specifically binds to the aptamer and releases multiple cDNAs to form the three-way junction DNA structure and synthesize silver/platinum bimetallic nanoclusters, which induces signaling changes. Interestingly and importantly, the use of 3WJ/DNA as the template for synthesizing Ag/PtNCs gives the method an extremely low background signal. Under the optimal conditions, the constructed biosensor had a linear response range of 2.6 × 102-2.6 × 106 CFU/mL and a detection limit of 2.6 × 102 CFU/mL for the detection of S. typhimurium. In addition, the proposed method can effectively detect S. typhimurium in milk.

Abstract
Ensuring a rapid and accurate identification of harmful bacteria is crucial in various fields including environmental monitoring, food safety, and clinical diagnostics. Conventional detection methods often suffer from limitations such as long analysis time, complexity, and the need for qualified personnel. Therefore, a lot of research effort is devoted to developing technologies with the potential to revolutionize the detection of pathogenic bacteria by offering rapid, sensitive, and user-friendly platforms for point-of-care analysis. In this light, biosensors have gained significant commercial attention in recent years due to their simplicity, portability, and rapid analysis capabilities. The purpose of this review is to identify a trend by analyzing which biosensor technologies have become commercially successful in the field of bacteria detection. Moreover, we highlight the characteristics that a biosensor must possess to finally arrive in the market and therefore in the hands of the end-user, and we present critical examples of the market applications of various technologies. The aim is to investigate the reason why certain technologies have achieved commercial success and extrapolate these trends to the future economic viability of a new subfield in the world of biosensing: the development of biomimetic sensor platforms. Therefore, an overview of recent advances in the field of biomimetic bacteria detection will be presented, after which the challenges that need to be addressed in the coming years to improve market penetration will be critically evaluated. We will zoom into the current shortcomings of biomimetic sensors based on imprinting technology and aptamers and try to come up with a recommendation for further development based on the trends observed from previous commercial success stories in biosensing.

Abstract
The pathogenic bacteria induced foodborne disease has been detrimental to public health worldwide. Herein, the peroxidase (POD)-like Fe3O4/MWCNTs@Mo-CDs (FMMC) nanozyme was applied for the detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli). The E. coli aptamer was conjugated with the surface of the FMMC, which effectively enhanced the POD-like activity attributing to the higher affinity to the substrate, and then specific capture of E. coli in food matrices, leading to the reduction of POD-like activity. Therefore, a robust and facile colorimetric aptasensor was developed for detecting E. coli with a wide linear range of 101-106 CFU/mL, low LOQ of 101 CFU/mL and LOD of 0.978 CFU/mL. The aptasensor demonstrated the satisfied selectivity for E. coli compared to the other strains. This method possessed the potential application for fast in situ screening of foodborne pathogens in food products.

Abstract
DNA nanostructures, with their fascinating luminescent and detecting capabilities, provide a basis that can accommodate a wide range of applications. The unique electronic configurations, and physical and chemical properties of aptamer-assembled gold nanoclusters (apt-AuNCs) as a novel type of fluorophore have gradually piqued the interest of the scientific community. Bending DNA sequences and other templates/legends as a stabilizing agent with Au metal has produced an abundance of biosensors, along with catalytic and imaging properties. This review article summarizes the synthesis, conjugation tactics, advantages, and sensing mechanisms of AuNCs aptasensor after providing a brief introduction to the topic. Moreover, the application of DNA/aptamer functionalization has been briefly discussed in the fields of food safety and quality, catalysis, clinical diagnosis, cancer cell bioimaging, detection of cancer cell indicators, and therapy. We also concluded the current obstacles and made recommendations about the future prospects of AuNCs for fundamental research and applications in line with the developments in DNA/aptamer-AuNCs.

Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1287:341938. [PMID: 38182333 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria are primarily kinds of food hazards that provoke serious harm to human health via contaminated or spoiled food. Given that pathogenic bacteria continue to reproduce and expand once they contaminate food, pathogenic bacteria of high concentration triggers more serious losses and detriments. Hence, it is essential to detect low-dose pollution at an early stage with high sensitivity. Aptamers, also known as "chemical antibodies", are oligonucleotide sequences that have attracted much attention owing to their merits of non-toxicity, small size, variable structure as well as easy modification of functional group. Aptamer-based bioanalysis has occupied a critical position in the field of rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria. This is attributed to the unique advantage of using aptamers as recognition elements in signal amplification strategies. The signal amplification strategy is an effective means to improve the detection sensitivity. Some diverse signal amplification strategies emphasize the synthesis and assembly of nanomaterials with signal amplification capabilities, while others introduce various nucleic acid amplification techniques into the detection system. This review focuses on a variety of signal amplification strategies employed in aptamer-based detection approaches to pathogenic bacteria. Meanwhile, we provided a detailed introduction to the design principles and characteristics of signal amplification strategies, as well as the improvement of sensor sensitivity. Ultimately, the existing issues and development trends of applying signal amplification strategies in apta-sensing analysis of pathogenic bacteria are critically proposed and prospected. Overall, this review discusses from a new perspective and is expected to contribute to the further development of this field.

Abstract
Development of rapid colorimetric methods based on novel optical-active metal nanomaterials has provided methods for the detection of ions, biomarkers, cancers, etc. Fluorescent metal nanoclusters (FMNCs) have gained a lot of attention due to their unique physical, chemical, and optical properties providing numerous applications from rapid and sensitive detection to cellular imaging. However, because of very small color changes, their colorimetric applications for developing rapid tests based on the naked eye or simple UV-vis absorption spectrophotometry are still limited. FMNCs with peroxidase-like activity have significant potential in a wide variety of applications, especially for point-of-care diagnostics. In this review, the effect of using various capping agents and metals for the preparation of nanoclusters in their colorimetric sensing properties is explored, and the synthesis and detection mechanisms and the recent advances in their application for ultrasensitive chemical and biological analysis regarding human health are highlighted. Finally, the challenges that remain as well as the future perspectives are briefly discussed. Overcoming these limitations will allow us to expand the nanocluster's application for colorimetric diagnostic purposes in medical practice.

Abstract
Food contaminants present a significant threat to public health. In response to escalating global concerns regarding food safety, there is a growing demand for straightforward, rapid, and sensitive detection technologies. Noble metal nanoclusters (NMNCs) have garnered considerable attention due to their superior attributes compared to other optical materials. These attributes include high catalytic activity, excellent biocompatibility, and outstanding photoluminescence properties. These features render NMNCs promising candidates for crafting nanosensors for food contaminant detection, offering the potential for the development of uncomplicated, swift, sensitive, user-friendly, and cost-effective detection approaches. This review investigates optical nanosensors based on NMNCs, including the synthesis methodologies of NMNCs, sensing strategies, and their applications in detecting food contaminants. Furthermore, it involves a comparative assessment of the applications of NMNCs in optical sensing and their performance. Ultimately, this paper imparts fresh perspectives on the forthcoming challenges. Hitherto, optical (particularly fluorescent) nanosensors founded on NMNCs have demonstrated exceptional sensing capabilities in the realm of food contaminant detection. To enhance sensing performance, future research should prioritize atomically precise NMNCs synthesis, augmentation of catalytic activity and optical properties, development of high-throughput and multimode sensing, integration of NMNCs with microfluidic devices, and the optimization of NMNCs storage, shelf life, and transportation conditions.

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

Abstract
Given the importance of public health, it is crucial to develop quick, targeted, highly sensitive, and accurate technologies to monitor pathogenic microbes in response to the growing concerns of food and environmental safety. Although conventional approaches for microbiological detection are available, they are laborious, and often skill demanding. Therefore, such approaches are incompetent in the on-site or high-throughput assessment of pathogenic microbes. Numerous efforts have been made to develop biosensors that use nucleic acid aptamer as the biorecognition element, which would avoid the abovementioned limitations. Incorporating nanomaterials (NMs) into aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) improves their sensitivity and specificity, opening exciting possibilities for various applications, such as bioanalysis of food and environmental samples. Over the last decade, nanomaterial-conjugated aptasensors have seen a steadily rising demand. To this end, the main goal of this study is to demonstrate the novelty in the design of nanomaterial-conjugated aptasensors and how they can be used to detect different pathogenic microbes in water and food. The intent of this paper is to evaluate the cutting-edge techniques that have appeared in nano-aptasensors throughout the past few years, such as manufacturing procedures, analytical credibility, and sensing mechanisms. Additionally, the fundamental performance parameters of aptasensing techniques (such as detection limits, and sensing ranges response) were also used to evaluate their practical applicability. Finally, it is anticipated that this study will inspire innovative ideas and techniques for the construction and use of aptasensors for monitoring pathogenic microorganisms in food, drinks, recreational water, and wastewater.

[PMID: 37566171 DOI: 10.1007/s44211-023-00404-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023]
Abstract
In this study, the aptamer of ochratoxin A (OTA) increased the negative charge density on the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and promoted the release of hydroxyl radicals and Au3+ to enhance the peroxidase-like activity of the AuNPs. The OTA bound only to the aptamer and did not adsorb non-specifically to the AuNPs. Based on these two conclusions, a label-free colorimetric aptasensor was successfully developed, enabling the precise detection of OTA within the concentration range of 10-600 nM, with a remarkably low detection limit of 6.20 nM. The colorimetric aptasensor was applied to detect OTA in oats, corn, soybeans, rice, and glutinous rice.

Abstract
Fluorescent nanoprobes show similar fluorescence properties to traditional organic dyes, but the addition of nanotechnology accurately controls the size, shape, chemical composition, and surface chemistry of the nanoprobes with unique characteristics and properties, such as bright luminescence, high photostability, and strong biocompatibility. For example, modifying aptamers or antibodies on a fluorescent nanoprobe provides high selectivity and specificity for different objects to be tested. Fluorescence intensity, life, and other parameters of targets can be changed by different sensing mechanisms based on the unique structural and optical characteristics of fluorescent nanoprobes. What's more, the detection of fluorescent nanoprobes is cost-saving, simple, and offers great advantages in rapid food detection. Sensing mechanisms of fluorescent nanoprobes were introduced in this paper, focusing on the application progress in pesticide residues, veterinary drug residues, heavy metals, microbes, mycotoxins, and other substances in food safety detection in recent years. A brief outlook for future development was provided as well.

An ultrasensitive colorimetric biosensor for the detection of Gram-positive bacteria by integrating paper-based enrichment and carbon dot-based selective recognition. Talanta 2023; 265:124920. [PMID: 37451123 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2023] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
Rapid screening of bacteria by low-cost and eco-friendly material-based approaches is still a major challenge. Herein, a colorimetric biosensor was designed for the ultrasensitive and rapid detection of Gram-positive bacteria. The biosensor exploited polydopamine and polyethyleneimine (PDA-PEI)-modified papers for separating bacteria and carbon dots (CDs) for selective colorimetric detection of Gram-positive bacteria. Noble metal-free CDs can target Gram-positive bacteria by binding with peptidoglycan and possess peroxidase-like activity. Thus, they can avert the step of modifying recognition probes, facilitating biosensor fabrication, and reducing the cost. This biosensor can detect S. aureus as low as 1 cfu mL-1, L. monocytogenes as low as 5 cfu mL-1, and B. subtilis as low as 9 cfu mL-1 within 55 min. In addition, a portable device was constructed to enable convenient and on-site quantitative detection of Gram-positive bacteria. The feasibility of the biosensor was verified by detecting Gram-positive bacteria in eggshell and sausage samples with recoveries ranging from 91.2% to 110%.

Abstract
The high incidence of foodborne diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria raises concerns worldwide and imposes considerable public healthcare challenges. This is especially observed with dormant spores of Bacilli, which can often survive treatments used by the food industry to kill growing bacteria. The early and rapid detection of bacterial spores is essential to ensure food safety. Commercial availability of such a test will present a high potential for food sector. We present a point-of-need colorimetric assay for detection of Bacillus cytotoxicus spores in food. The detection principle is based on spore-enhanced peroxidase-like catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles. The sensing platform consists of a microtube containing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and magnetic particles (MPs), both conjugated with specific aptamer BAS6R that recognize B. cytotoxicus spores. Upon the addition of the sample, spores were determined as present by the enhanced color change of the solution, due to the oxidation of tetramethylbenidine (TMB) with H2O2. The assay was evaluated by the naked eye (on/off) and quantitatively with use of a spectrophotometer. BAS6R@AuNPs aptasensor coupled to BAS6R@MPs proved to be highly sensitive, achieving the naked-eye limit of detection as low as 102 cfu/mL in water and milk, and 104 cfu/mL in mashed potatoes. Moreover, discrimination between spores of B. cytotoxicus and B. subtilis as well as bacterial vegetative cells was achieved in contaminated food samples, providing a good selectivity. This work provides a promising proof of concept for the development of instrument-free, low-cost and rapid assay for Bacillus cytotoxicus spore detection, which is able to compete in sensitivity with conventional costly and time-consuming laboratory analyses.

Abstract
To detect cytochrome c (Cyt c) as an important biomarker of apoptosis inside the cells, a simple, label-free, fluorometric detection method has been presented. For this purpose, an aptamer/gold nanocluster probe (Aptamer@AuNCs) was produced which could specifically bind to Cyt c leading to fluorescence quenching of AuNCs. The developed aptasensor showed two linear ranges of 1-80 μM and 100-1000 μM and a detection limit of 0.77 μM and 297.5 μM, respectively. This platform was successfully used to assay Cyt c release inside the apoptotic cells and their cell lysate. Aptamer@AuNC due to its enzyme-like properties could replace antibodies in Cyt c detection by conventional blotting techniques.

Abstract
In recent years, the high prevalence of Salmonella has emerged as a serious threat to public safety, prompting attempts to utilize accurate, rapid, and direct methods to ensure food safety. In this study, a multifunctional platform featuring dual-mode detection channels (colorimetric-fluorescence) combined with polymer chain reaction (PCR) was proposed for the sensitive and rapid detection of Salmonella. Additionally, the colorimetric measurements were achieved by color changes induced by methylene blue (MB) insertion into the double-stranded DNA, and the fluorescence measurements were performed by internal filter effect (IFE)-induced fluorescence quenching of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) by MB. The results showed that the IFE and PCR amplification processes improved the sensitivity of the sensor towards Salmonella detection, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 21.8 CFU/mL. Moreover, this colorimetric-fluorescence dual-mode PCR biosensor was applied to determine Salmonella in food samples, such as chicken, egg, and fish, which produced satisfactory results. Overall, the present study results demonstrate the potential for combining PCR amplification with IFE to develop an efficient and reliable dual-mode analysis platform to safeguard food security.

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

Abstract
In this work, an aptamer against Escherichia coli is isolated via non-SELEX, which executes efficient selection by employing repetitive cycles of centrifugation-based partitioning, and the binding site of the aptamer on E. coli cell surfaces is inferred to be a membrane protein. Moreover, truncated sequence 2-17-2 with a higher affinity (Kd = 101.76 nM) is employed for highly sensitive colorimetric detection of bacteria based on the dual signal amplification strategy. When targets exist, the release of DNA 1 from the polymer activates a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) between DNA 1 and DNA 2, thereby inducing the aggregation of probe 1. Subsequently, DNA 3 dissociated from probe 1 as a linker DNA further assembles probe 2/3. In this system, two types of DNA@gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) coexist and successively aggregate AuNPs based on divergent triggering mechanisms. Under optimal conditions, the dual signal amplification strategy presents excellent sensitivity (10 CFU mL-1) and specificity, as well as the realization of real sample analysis.

Abstract
Rapid qualitative and quantitative detection of Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) takes an important role in ensuring food safety. Herein, a colorimetric assay aptasensor for S. typhimurium utilizing intrinsic peroxidase-like activity of gold nanoparticles embedded spherical covalent organic framework and the affinity and specificity of S. typhimurium-aptamer has been explored. This aptasensor can capture the S. typhimurium via the selective binding effect of aptamer, and the catalytically active sites were shielded. As a result, the colorimetric signals of the 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine-H2O2 system were turned off. Under optimum conditions, the aptasensor gave a linear response over the range of 10 to 107 CFU/mL for S. typhimurium. The detection limit of 7 CFU/mL was obtained within 45 min and was effectively applied to detect S. typhimurium in milk and lake water samples with recoveries in the range from 96.4 to 101.0%. More importantly, combined with a self-developed smartphone-based image analysis system, the proposed aptasensor can be used for point-of-care testing applications.

Abstract
A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model for the structure and affinity of abrin aptamers was established. A higher affinity abrin aptamer based on the established QSAR model was screened by site-directed mutagenesis. The fluorescence quenching effect between magnetic microspheres and fluorescent molecules was studied for the first time. A new method for abrin detection based on the interaction between target molecules and fluorescently labeled aptamers on magnetic microspheres was developed, with the detection limit of 5 ng mL-1. This method can overcome the influence of complex environmental interferents in abrin detection and can meet the analysis requirements for simulated samples such as water, soil, and food.

Abstract
Bacterial contamination is a public health concern worldwide causing enormous social and economic losses. For early diagnosis and adequate management to prevent or treat pathogen-related illnesses, extensive effort has been put into the development of pathogenic bacterial detection systems. Colorimetric sensing systems have attracted increasing attention due to their simple and single-site operation, rapid signal readout with the naked eye, ability to operate without external instruments, portability, compact design, and low cost. In this article, recent trends and advances in colorimetric systems for the detection and monitoring of bacterial contamination are reviewed. This article focuses on pathogen detection strategies and technologies based on reaction factors that affect the color change for visual readout. Reactions used in each strategy are introduced by dividing them into the following five categories: external pH change-induced pH indicator reactions, intracellular enzyme-catalyzed chromogenic reactions, enzyme-like nanoparticle (NP)-catalyzed substrate reactions, NP aggregation-based reactions, and NP accumulation-based reactions. Some recently developed colorimetric systems are introduced, and their challenges and strategies to improve the sensing performance are discussed.

Abstract
A novel sandwich-type electrochemical aptasensor for the detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) was developed. S. aureus aptamers were self-assembled onto the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with nanocomposites comprising titanium carbide embedded with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs@Ti3C2) through hydrogen bonds and the chelation interaction between phosphate groups and Ti ions. In addition, the self-assembled aptamers were immobilized on CuO/graphene (GR) nanocomposites via π-π stacking interactions to serve as a signal probe. In the presence of the target S. aureus, the sandwich-type recognition system reacted on the surface of GCE, and the CuO/GR nanocomposites catalyzed the hydrogen peroxide + hydroquinone reaction producing a strong current response. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the current response of the aptasensor was linearly correlated with the concentration of S. aureus (52-5.2 × 107 CFU mL-1) with a low detection limit of 1 CFU mL-1. The aptasensor displayed good repeatability and excellent selectivity for S. aureus detection. Moreover, this aptasensor was applied to the detection of S. aureus in cow, sheep, and goat milk samples, affording recoveries ranging from 92.64 to 109.58%. This research provides a new platform for the detection of pathogenic bacteria and other toxic and harmful substances in food.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria are primarily kinds of detrimental agents that cause mankind illness via contaminated food with traits of multiple types, universality, and low content. In view of the detection demands for rapidity, aptamer recognition factors emerged as a substitution for antibodies, which are short single strands of nucleic acid selected via in vitro. They display certain superiorities over antibodies, such as preferable stability, liable modification, and cost-efficiency. Taking advantage of the situation, numerous aptamers against pathogenic bacteria have been successfully selected and applied, yet there are still restrictions on commercial availability. In this review, the strategies/approaches to key sections in pathogen aptamers SELEX and post-SELEX are summarized and sorted out. Recently, optical, electrochemical, and piezoelectric aptamer-based assays or sensors dedicated to pathogen detection have been critically reviewed. Ultimately, the existing challenges and future trends in this field are proposed to further promote development prospects.

Abstract
The sensitive and selective detection of pathogenic bacteria represents an essential approach in food safety analysis and clinical diagnostics. We report the development of a simple, rapid, and low-cost electrochemical biosensing strategy for the detection of pathogenic bacteria with ultrasensitivity and high specificity. The biosensor relies on the target and aptamer binding-triggered two-stage nicking enzyme signal amplification (NESA) and three-way junction probe-mediated electrochemical signal transduction. In the presence of the target S. typhimurium, the specific binding of S. typhimurium and aptamer results in the release of a primer, which hybridizes with HAP1 and initiates an extension reaction with the aid of polymerase and dNTPs. A specific recognition site for Nt.BsmaI is generated in the DNA duplex; thus, the produced DNA is nicked and the secondary primer is released (named recycle I). Subsequently, the reaction solution supplemented with a helper DNA is dropped on the electrode surface, and a three-way junction probe containing a specific recognition site for Nt.BsmaI is thus formed. The MB-labeled probe is nicked with the help of Nt.BsmaI and the dissociated primer-helper DNA duplex combines with another HAP2 (named recycle II). Thus, a remarkably decreased electrochemical signal is generated because the electroactive MB is far away from the electrode surface. As far as we know, this work is the first time that NESA and three-way junction probe-mediated electrochemical signal transduction has been used for pathogenic bacteria detection. Under optimal conditions, the results reveal that the calibration plot obtained for S. typhimurium is approximately linear from 9.6 to 9.6 × 105 cfu mL-1 with the limit of detection of 8 cfu mL-1. Additionally, the proposed strategy has been successfully applied to the quantitative assay of S. typhimurium in the real samples. Therefore, the NESA-based biosensing strategy might create a useful and practical platform for pathogenic bacteria identification, and the related food safety analysis and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
In this project, poly (citric acid) (PCA) functionalized on nano Ag/Cu was synthesized by chemical analysis method. The nano probe was applied to detection of cysteine by using the magnesium (II) ions as a cross linker. The characterization of Ag/Cu/PCA nano probe was studied by using the UV-visible, morphological microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential analyzer. The zeta potential and size of Ag/Cu/PCA were -38.0 mV and 18.0 nm, respectively. The prepared nano probe shows rapid response for detection of cysteine. The detection limit of Ag/Cu/PCA nano probe was 0.07 nM. Additional, the Ag/Cu/PCA nanoparticles was applied to cysteine detection from real samples in the presence of amino acids compounds. Rapidly and sensitive determination of Streptococcus pneumoniae is substantial for food safety and human health. The DNA-Ag/Cu/PCA were prepared as a template in chemical method and experimented as a bio-receptor for the cell bacteria detection as peroxidase-like catalytic process. The DNA-Ag/Cu/PCA nano probe shows a linear dynamic concertation range of Streptococcus pneumoniae via detection limit about 65 CFU/mL. The project presents that the DNA-Ag/Cu/PCA could detect the biological and bacterial samples via high accuracy.

Abstract
Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is a globally distributed foodborne pathogen, which can lead to outbreaks of foodborne infectious diseases. It is essential to guarantee food safety by timely and correct detection of S. Typhimurium. In this investigation, an original fluorescence aptasensor was constructed to detect S. Typhimurium rapidly and sensitively. Through the coupling of magnetic beads, aptamer, and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), a fluorescence quenching system with a "sandwich structure" was established. The aptamer acted as a link, and its specific binding to S. Typhimurium could release AuNPs from the system. Meanwhile, fluorescent DNA-stabilized silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) were synthesized. The fluorescence intensity changes caused by the fluorescence resonance energy transfer between DNA-AgNCs and AuNPs were utilized to detect S. Typhimurium. The purposed aptasensor exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity with a linear response to S. Typhimurium, ranging from 3.7 × 102 to 3.7 × 105 cfu/mL. The limit of detection (LOD) was estimated to be 98 cfu/mL within 2 h 10 min. In addition, this method showed excellent application for detection of S. Typhimurium in artificially contaminated milk, with LOD reaching 3.4 × 102 cfu/mL. Therefore, the developed fluorescence aptasensor has great potential to identify S. Typhimurium in foodstuffs.

Abstract
Food safety issues are a worldwide concern. Pathogens, toxins, pesticides, veterinary drugs, heavy metals, and illegal additives are frequently reported to contaminate food and pose a serious threat to human health. Conventional detection methods have difficulties fulfilling the requirements for food development in a modern society. Therefore, novel rapid detection methods are urgently needed for on-site and rapid screening of massive food samples. Due to the extraordinary properties of nanozymes and aptamers, biosensors composed of both of them provide considerable advantages in analytical performances, including sensitivity, specificity, repeatability, and accuracy. They are considered a promising complementary detection method on top of conventional ones for the rapid and accurate detection of food contaminants. In recent years, we have witnessed a flourishing of analytical strategies based on aptamers and nanozymes for the detection of food contaminants, especially novel detection models based on the regulation by single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) of nanozyme activity. However, the applications of nanozyme-based aptasensors in food safety are seldom reviewed. Thus, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive review on nanozyme-based aptasensors in food safety, which are arranged according to the different interaction modes of ssDNA and nanozymes: aptasensors based on nanozyme activity either inhibited or enhanced by ssDNA, nanozymes as signal tags, and other methods. Before introducing the nanozyme-based aptasensors, the regulation by ssDNA of nanozyme activity via diverse factors is discussed systematically for precisely tailoring nanozyme activity in biosensors. Furthermore, current challenges are emphasized, and future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Rapid detection of pathogens and assessment of antimicrobial susceptibility is of great importance for public health, especially in resource-limiting regions. Herein, we developed a rapid, portable, and universal detection method for bacteria using AgNPs-invertase complexes and the personal glucose meter (PGM). In the presence of bacteria, the invertase could be released from AgNPs-invertase complexes where its enzyme activity of invertase was inhibited. Then, the enzyme activity of invertase was restored and could convert sucrose into glucose measured by a commercially PGM. There was a good linear relationship between PGM signal and concentration of E. coli or S. aureus as the bacteria model with high sensitivity. And our proposed biosensor was proved to be a rapid and reliable method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing within 4 h with consistent results of Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) testing, providing a portable and convenient method to treat infected patients with correct antibiotics and reduce the production of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, especially for resource-limiting settings.

Abstract
In this work, a novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor was structured for the detection of four organophosphorus pesticides (OPs). Firstly, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used to create a favorable loading interface for the fixation of tris (2, 2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium (II) (Ru (bpy)32+). At the same time, copper (core)-gold (shell) bimetallic nanoparticles (Cu@Au NPs) were synthesized in the aqueous phase for the sensor construction. Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) could promote the electrochemiluminescence intensity of Ru (bpy)32+ with high efficiency by catalyzing the oxidation process of tri-n-propylamine (TPrA). Compared with the Au NPs, Cu@Au NPs increased the solid loading of Au NPs by virtue of the large specific surface area of copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs), which could further improve the sensitivity of aptasensor. When OPs were added, the ECL intensity was significantly reduced, and the concentration of OPs could be detected through the ECL intensity. Under the optimum conditions, the aptasensor had a wider dynamic range and ultra-low detection limit for the detection of four pesticides: profenofos, isocarbophos, phorate, and omethoate, and their detection limits were 3 × 10-4 ng/mL, 3 × 10-4 ng/mL, 3 × 10-3 ng/mL, and 3 × 10-2 ng/mL respectively (S/N = 3). The aptasensor had the merits of good stability, reproducibility, and specificity, and had a favorable recovery rate in detecting OPs residues in vegetables. This work provided an effective method for the construction of a simple, rapid, and sensitive biosensor.

Abstract
Enzymes possess a highly specific affinity toward their substrates. In this study, an enzyme-based biological method was established for chiral discrimination of D/L-tryptophan (Trp). The polydopamine modified magnetic particles (PDA@Fe3O4) were prepared for immobilization of the genetically engineered bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli) DH5α. The bacteria-magnetic particles conjugates (bacteria@PDA@Fe3O4) demonstrate excellent chiral discrimination performance toward D/L-Trp at pH 7.0 and 45 °C. The investigation for the principle exhibits that the immobilized E. coli DH5α can produce tryptophanase, and the enzyme can selectively recognize and degrade L-Trp. The Michaelis constant of tryptophanase produced by bacteria@PDA@Fe3O4 was measured to be 25.7 µg mL-1. This method avoids the purification of tryptophanase and unlocks the potential of bacteria modified magnetic particles for chiral discrimination of racemic tryptophan.

Abstract
A core-satellite nanocomposite was prepared by encapsulating the photostable blue carbon dots (BCDs) in the core of silica as the reference signal readout, and the target-sensitive gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) covalently linked to the surface of silica as the respond signal readout. The nanocomposite (BCD@SiO2@AuNC) was used as a ratiometric fluorescent sensor to realize the selective detection of Gram-negative bacteria. The detection principle was based on the quenching of Cu2+ toward AuNCs and the reduction of Gram-negative bacteria toward Cu2+. The sensor exhibited good selectivity toward Gram-negative bacteria owing to the copper-homeostasis mechanism possessed by the bacteria. The sensor demonstrated linear response to the logarithm concentration of Gram-negative bacteria with determination coefficients higher than 0.912. The feasibility of the sensor was verified by analysis of Gram-negative bacteria in eggshell, swimming pool water, as well as Chinese cabbage samples with recoveries ranging from 93.9% to 109%.

[PMID: 34890943 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.123095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2021] [Revised: 11/21/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
A lab-on-a-tube biosensor was established to rapidly, sensitively and automatically detect foodborne bacteria through a rotatable Halbach magnet to form and rotate magnetic nanobead (MNB) chains for specific isolation of target bacteria, gold@platinum nanocatalysts (Au@PtNCs) to label target bacteria for efficient amplification of detection signal and Raspberry Pi App to collect and analyze the image of catalysate. First, the glass tube was successively preloaded with the mixture of MNBs, sample and Au@PtNCs, the washing buffer (skim milk) and the substrate (hydrogen peroxide-3,30,5,50-tetramethylbenzidine), and they were separated by air gaps. After the tube was placed on the biosensor, the MNB chains were stably formed and continuously rotated using the Halbach magnet and the mixture was moved back and forth using a programmable peristaltic pump, thus making the formation of MNB-bacteria-Au@PtNCs complexes. After the washing buffer was moved to wash the complexes, the substrate was then moved to resuspend the complexes, resulting in the catalytic reaction that changed the color of the substrate. Finally, the catalysate was moved to the designated area, the image of which was analyzed by the Raspberry Pi App to quantitatively determine the concentration of bacteria in the samples. This biosensor was able to detect Salmonella in spiked chicken samples in 1 h with lower detection limit of 8 CFU/50 μL and a recovery from 88.96% to 99.74%. This biosensor based on a single tube is very promising to automatically detect foodborne bacteria due to its low cost, high integration and simple operation.

Abstract
In this study, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was introduced to detect the concentration of live bacteria for the first time depending on the redox reaction between CCK-8 solution and dehydrogenase. CCK-8 solution can be reduced to form water soluble orange-yellow formazan by the dehydrogenase present in bacterial cells, and the concentration of live bacteria is proportional to the absorbance value of formazan at 450 nm. Based on this principle, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were chosen as the model bacteria. The optimal detection conditions were investigated and a good linear relationship was obtained in the concentration range from 2.600 × 102 to 1.160 × 109 CFU mL-1 with a linear equation of Y = 0.06305 log10 X-0.1153 (X in CFU mL-1, R2 = 0.9747) for S. aureus and 9.750 × 102 to 6.000 × 108 CFU mL-1 with a linear equation of Y = 0.06122 log10 X-0.1358 (X in CFU mL-1, R2 = 0.9958) for E. coli. The CCK-8 based viable bacteria detection method can be completed within 2 h with a wide bacterial detection concentration range. Satisfactory results were obtained when applied to an actual sample analysis and there is a good consistency between the proposed CCK-8 based method and the traditional plate counting method. More importantly, this method can realize the one-time detection of a large number of samples with high sensitivity, which suggests its great potential in high-throughput bacterial detection.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are the weapons of neutrophiles against bacterial pathogens, and also the central effectors in reactive oxygen therapy for skin and soft tissue infection. Nanozymes that spontaneously generate ROS under physiological conditions are new antibacterials that hold promise towards multidrug resistant pathogens. The clinical use of the nanozymes is however limited by their low biocompatibility and toxicity in vivo. Here, we develop an oleic acid (OA) nanoemulsion template method for the one-pot synthesis of OA-manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanozyme. The OA-MnO2 nanozyme showed high stability and biocompatibility under physiological conditions with marked oxidase-like activity. The ROS generated by the OA-MnO2 nanozyme effectively kill the Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and the Gram-negative Escherichia coli strains. Moreover, the OA-MnO2 nanozyme shows promising abilities to prevent and destruct biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus, and result in superior in vivo antibacterial performance as compared to vancomycin. The reactive oxygen therapy based on OA-MnO2 nanozyme cures the infected skin and promotes wound healing in mice, manifesting its potential use in skin and soft tissue infection.

Abstract
Recently, aptamers have attracted attention in the biosensing field as signal recognition elements because of their high binding affinity toward specific targets such as proteins, cells, small molecules, and even metal ions, antibodies for which are difficult to obtain. Aptamers are single oligonucleotides generated by in vitro selection mechanisms via the systematic evolution of ligand exponential enrichment (SELEX) process. In addition to their high binding affinity, aptamers can be easily functionalized and engineered, providing several signaling modes such as colorimetric, fluorometric, and electrochemical, in what are known as aptasensors. In this review, recent advances in aptasensors as powerful biosensor probes that could be used in different fields, including environmental monitoring, clinical diagnosis, and drug monitoring, are described. Advances in aptamer-based colorimetric, fluorometric, and electrochemical aptasensing with their advantages and disadvantages are summarized and critically discussed. Additionally, future prospects are pointed out to facilitate the development of aptasensor technology for different targets.

Abstract
While genome-wide associations studies (GWAS) have successfully elucidated the genetic architecture of complex human traits and diseases, understanding mechanisms that lead from genetic variation to pathophysiology remains an important challenge. Methods are needed to systematically bridge this crucial gap to facilitate experimental testing of hypotheses and translation to clinical utility. Here, we leveraged cross-phenotype associations to identify traits with shared genetic architecture, using linkage disequilibrium (LD) information to accurately capture shared SNPs by proxy, and calculate significance of enrichment. This shared genetic architecture was examined across differing biological scales through incorporating data from catalogs of clinical, cellular, and molecular GWAS. We have created an interactive web database (interactive Cross-Phenotype Analysis of GWAS database (iCPAGdb); http://cpag.oit.duke.edu) to facilitate exploration and allow rapid analysis of user-uploaded GWAS summary statistics. This database revealed well-known relationships among phenotypes, as well as the generation of novel hypotheses to explain the pathophysiology of common diseases. Application of iCPAGdb to a recent GWAS of severe COVID-19 demonstrated unexpected overlap of GWAS signals between COVID-19 and human diseases, including with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis driven by the DPP9 locus. Transcriptomics from peripheral blood of COVID-19 patients demonstrated that DPP9 was induced in SARS-CoV-2 compared to healthy controls or those with bacterial infection. Further investigation of cross-phenotype SNPs with severe COVID-19 demonstrated colocalization of the GWAS signal of the ABO locus with plasma protein levels of a reported receptor of SARS-CoV-2, CD209 (DC-SIGN), pointing to a possible mechanism whereby glycosylation of CD209 by ABO may regulate COVID-19 disease severity. Thus, connecting genetically related traits across phenotypic scales links human diseases to molecular and cellular measurements that can reveal mechanisms and lead to novel biomarkers and therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
A multimode dot-filtration immunoassay (MDFIA) was established for rapid and accurate detection of the target (Salmonella typhimurium), which was based on the intrinsic color, peroxidase-like activity and photothermal effect of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Obviously, multimode detection can improve detection accuracy compared to the direct visual detection in test strips. A thermal imaging camera was used as detector to record the temperature change (ΔT) of MoS2 and establish the standard curve of ΔT and the concentration of Salmonella typhimurium to realize quantitative determination. The main parameters that affect the analytical performance of MDFIA were optimized. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) of photothermal detection reached 102 CFU mL-1 and was one order of magnitude lower than the limit of direct visual detection and catalytic color development detection (103 CFU mL-1). The accuracy and analytical sensitivity were enhanced by intrinsic peroxidase-like activity and the huge photothermal effect of MoS2. Moreover, this method exhibited high selectivity, good repeatability, and acceptable stability and the entire process was simple to be accomplished in 30 min, which generally meets the need of rapid detection. The successful implementation in real samples with the recovery being between 99.5 and 119.2% showed that it could be used as a promising quality control strategy for detection of other foodborne pathogens. The peroxidase-like activity and excellent photothermal effect of MoS2 was used to develop a multimode dot-filtration immunoassay for rapid detection of Salmonella typhimurium.
