Abstract
Foodborne diseases remain a worldwide concern, despite the advances made in sanitation, pathogen surveillance and food safety management systems. The methods routinely applied for detecting pathogens in foods are time consuming, labor intensive and usually require trained and qualified individuals. The objective of this review was to highlight the use of biosensors, with a focus on the electrochemical devices, as promising alternatives for detecting foodborne pathogens. These biosensors present high speed for obtaining results, with the possibility of evaluating foods in real time, at low cost, ease of use, in addition to being compact and portable. These aspects are considered advantageous and suitable for use in food safety management systems. This work also shows some limitations for the application of biosensors, and we present perspectives with the development and use of nanomaterials.

Abstract
The high efficiency and specificity of enzymes make them play an important role in life activities, but the high cost, low stability and high sensitivity of natural enzymes severely restrict their application. In recent years, nanozymes have become convincing alternatives to natural enzymes, finding utility across diverse domains, including biosensing, antibacterial interventions, cancer treatment, and environmental preservation. Nanozymes are characterized by their remarkable attributes, encompassing high stability, cost-effectiveness and robust catalytic activity. Within the contemporary scientific landscape, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered considerable attention, primarily due to their versatile applications, spanning catalysis. Notably, MOFs serve as scaffolds for the development of nanozymes, particularly in the context of bacterial detection and treatment. This paper presents a comprehensive review of recent literature pertaining to MOFs and their pivotal role in bacterial detection and treatment. We explored the limitations and prospects for the development of MOF-based nanozymes as a platform for bacterial detection and therapy, and anticipate their great potential and broader clinical applications in addressing medical challenges.

Abstract
Outbreaks of foodborne diseases mediated by food microorganisms and toxins remain one of the leading causes of disease and death worldwide. It not only poses a serious threat to human health and safety but also imposes a huge burden on health care and socioeconomics. Traditional methods for the removal and detection of pathogenic bacteria and toxins in various samples such as food and drinking water have certain limitations, requiring a rapid and sensitive strategy for the enrichment and separation of target analytes. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) exhibit excellent performance in this field due to their fascinating properties. The strategy of combining biorecognition elements with MNPs can be used for fast and efficient enrichment and isolation of pathogens. In this review, we describe new trends and practical applications of magnetic nanoseparation technology in the detection of foodborne microorganisms and toxins. We mainly summarize the biochemical modification and functionalization methods of commonly used magnetic nanomaterial carriers and discuss the application of magnetic separation combined with other instrumental analysis techniques. Combined with various detection techniques, it will increase the efficiency of detection and identification of microorganisms and toxins in rapid assays.

Abstract
Foodborne microorganisms are an important cause of human illness worldwide. Two-thirds of human foodborne diseases are caused by bacterial pathogens throughout the globe, especially in developing nations. Despite enormous developments in conventional foodborne pathogen detection methods, progress is limited by the assay complexity and a prolonged time-to-result. The specificity and sensitivity of assays for live pathogen detection may also depend on the nature of the samples being analyzed and the immunological or molecular reagents used. Bacteriophage-based biosensors offer several benefits, including specificity to their host organism, the detection of only live pathogens, and resistance to extreme environmental factors such as organic solvents, high temperatures, and a wide pH range. Phage-based biosensors are receiving increasing attention owing to their high degree of accuracy, specificity, and reduced assay times. These characteristics, coupled with their abundant supply, make phages a novel bio-recognition molecule in assay development, including biosensors for the detection of foodborne bacterial pathogens to ensure food safety. This review provides comprehensive information about the different types of phage-based biosensor platforms, such as magnetoelastic sensors, quartz crystal microbalance, and electrochemical and surface plasmon resonance for the detection of several foodborne bacterial pathogens from various representative food matrices and environmental samples.

Abstract
Transcription factor (TF)-based biosensors are very desirable reagents for high-throughput enzyme and strain engineering campaigns. Despite their potential, they are often difficult to deploy effectively as the small molecules being detected can leak out of high-producer cells, into low-producer cells, and activate the biosensor therein. This crosstalk leads to the overrepresentation of false-positive/cheater cells in the enriched population. While the host cell can be engineered to minimize crosstalk (e.g., by deleting responsible transporters), this is not easily applicable to all molecules of interest, particularly those that can diffuse passively. One such biosensor recently reported for trans-cinnamic acid (tCA) suffers from crosstalk when used for phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) enzyme engineering by directed evolution. We report that desensitizing the biosensor (i.e., increasing the limit of detection) suppresses cheater population enrichment. Furthermore, we show that, if we couple the biosensor-based screen with an orthogonal prescreen that eliminates a large fraction of true negatives, we can successfully reduce the cheater population during the fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Using the approach developed here, we were successfully able to isolate PAL variants with ∼70% higher kcat after a single sort. These mutants have tremendous potential in phenylketonuria (PKU) treatment and flavonoid production.

Abstract
Detection of pathogenic microbes as well as antibiotic residues in food animals, especially in chicken, has become a matter of food security worldwide. The association of various pathogenic bacteria in different diseases and selective pressure induced by accumulated antibiotic residue to develop antibiotic resistance is also emerging as the threat to human health. These challenges have made the containment of pathogenic bacteria and early detection of antibiotic residue highly crucial for robust and precise detection. However, the traditional culture-based approaches are well-comprehended for identifying microbes. Nevertheless, because they are inadequate, time-consuming and laborious, these conventional methods are not predominantly used. Therefore, it has become essential to explore alternatives for the easy and robust detection of pathogenic microbes and antibiotic residue in the food source. Presently, different monitoring, as well as detection techniques like PCR-based, assay (nucleic acid)-based, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA)-based, aptamer-based, biosensor-based, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry-based and electronic nose-based methods, have been developed for detecting the presence of bacterial contaminants and antibiotic residues. The current review intends to summarize the different techniques and underline the potential of every method used for the detection of bacterial pathogens and antibiotic residue in chicken meat.

Abstract
Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) is a pathogenic strain of Escherichia coli which has issued as a public health threat because of fatal contamination of food and water. Therefore, accurate detection of pathogenic E. coli is important in environmental and food quality monitoring. In spite of their advantages and high acceptance, culture-based methods, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), flow cytometry, ATP bioluminescence, and solid-phase cytometry have various drawbacks, including being time-consuming, requiring trained technicians and/or specific equipment, and producing biological waste. Therefore, there is necessity for affordable, rapid, and simple approaches. Electrochemical biosensors have shown great promise for rapid food- and water-borne pathogen detection. Over the last decade, various attempts have been made to develop techniques for the rapid quantification of E. coli O157:H7. This review covers the importance of E. coli O157:H7 and recent progress (from 2015 to 2020) in the development of the sensitivity and selectivity of electrochemical sensors developed for E. coli O157:H7 using different nanomaterials, labels, and electrochemical transducers.

Abstract
Microbial infections remain the principal cause for high morbidity and mortality rates. While approximately 1400 human pathogens have been recognized, the majority of healthcare-associated infectious diseases are caused by only a few opportunistic pathogens (e.g., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli), which are associated with increased antibiotic and antimicrobial resistance. Rapid detection, reliable identification and real-time monitoring of these pathogens remain not only a scientific problem but also a practical challenge of vast importance, especially in tailoring effective treatment strategies. Although the development of vaccinations and antibacterial drug treatments are the leading research, progress, and implementation of early warning, quantitative systems indicative of confirming pathogen presence are necessary. Over the years, various approaches, such as conventional culturing, straining, molecular methods (e.g., polymerase chain reaction and immunological assays), microscopy-based and mass spectrometry techniques, have been employed to identify and quantify pathogenic agents. While being sensitive in some cases, these procedures are costly, time-consuming, mostly qualitative, and are indirect detection methods. A great challenge is therefore to develop rapid, highly sensitive, specific devices with adequate figures of merit to corroborate the presence of microbes and enable dynamic real-time measurements of metabolism. As an alternative, electrochemical sensor platforms have been developed as powerful quantitative tools for label-free detection of infection-related biomarkers with high sensitivity. This minireview is focused on the latest electrochemical-based approaches for pathogen sensing, putting them into the context of standard sensing methods, such as cell culturing, mass spectrometry, and fluorescent-based approaches. Description of the latest, impactful electrochemical sensors for pathogen detection will be presented. Recent breakthroughs will be highlighted, including the use of micro- and nano-electrode arrays for real-time detection of bacteria in polymicrobial infections and microfluidic devices for pathogen separation analysis. We will conclude with perspectives and outlooks to understand shortcomings in designing future sensing schemes. The need for high sensitivity and selectivity, low-cost implementation, fast detection, and screening increases provides an impetus for further development in electrochemical detectors for microorganisms and biologically relevant targets.

Abstract
There are increasing concerns about the danger that water-borne pathogens and pollutants pose to the public. Of particular importance are those that disrupt the plasma membrane, since loss of membrane integrity can lead to cell death. Currently, quantitative assays to detect membrane-disrupting (lytic) agents are done offsite, leading to long turnaround times and high costs, while existing colorimetric point-of-need solutions often sacrifice sensitivity. Thus, portable and highly sensitive solutions are needed to detect lytic agents for health and environmental monitoring. Here, a lipid-based electrochemical sensing platform is introduced to rapidly detect membrane-disrupting agents. The platform combines benchtop fabricated microstructured electrodes (MSEs) with lipid membranes. The sensing mechanism of the lipid-based platform relies on stacked lipid membranes serving as passivating layers that when disrupted generate electrochemical signals proportional to the membrane damage. The MSE topography, membrane casting and annealing conditions were optimized to yield the most reproducible and sensitive devices. We used the sensors to detect membrane-disrupting agents sodium dodecyl sulfate and Polymyxin-B within minutes and with limits of detection in the ppm regime. This study introduces a platform with potential for the integration of complex membranes on MSEs towards the goal of developing Membrane-on-Chip sensing devices.

Abstract
Foodborne pathogens are one of the main concerns in public health, which can have a serious impact on community health and health care systems. Contamination of foods by bacterial pathogens (such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococci, Legionella pneumophila, Escherichia coli, Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella typhimurium) results in human infection. A typical example is the current issue with Coronavirus, which has the potential for foodborne transmission and ruling out such concerns is often difficult. Although, the possible dissemination of such viruses via the food chain has been raised. Standard bacterial detection methods require several hours or even days to obtain the results, and the delay may result in food poisoning to eventuate. Conventional biochemical and microbiological tests are expensive, complex, time-consuming and not always reliable. Therefore, there are urgent demands to develop simple, cheap, quick, sensitive, specific and reliable tests for the detection of these pathogens in foods. Recent advances in smart materials, nanomaterials and biomolecular modeling have been a quantum leap in the development of biosensors in overcoming the limitations of a conventional standard laboratory assay. This research aimed to critically review bacteriophage-based biosensors, used for the detection of foodborne pathogens, as well as their trends, outcomes and challenges are discussed. The future perspective in the use of simple and cheap biosensors is in the development of lab-on-chips, and its availability in every household to test the quality of their food.

Abstract
The presence of Salmonella in natural freshwater and drinking water is a leading cause of intestinal illness all over the world; thus, the detection of Salmonella in water is of great importance to public health. The objective of this study is to develop a rapid screening method for the detection of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis in water involving surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), aptamers, and filtration. SERS offers a great alternative to traditional methods of pathogen detection, with a simplified detection assay and shortened detection time. The specific capturing and labeling of Salmonella Enteritidis are realized by a specific single-stranded DNA aptamer, which is modified with an additional chain of adenine and fluorescein (FAM) and used as presence/absence indicator of Salmonella Enteritidis. By incorporating a vacuum filtration system, bacterial cells recognized by the specific aptamer are concentrated onto a membrane. With additional filtration of gold nanoparticles, the aptamer signals were captured and used to construct a SERS mapping indicating the presence and absence of target bacterial strains with potential quantitative capability. The specificity of the method was validated by using other strains of bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes. The sensitivity of the method goes down to 103 CFU/mL for 1 mL of sample with a total detection and analyzing time within 3 h. This study demonstrates the capability of the filtration-based SERS platform for detecting Salmonella Enteritidis in various aqueous matrices such as distilled water and rinsing water from fresh produce with high selectivity and sensitivity.

Abstract
Rapid detection of the foodborne pathogen Salmonella in food processing is of crucial importance to prevent food outbreaks and to ensure consumer safety. Detection and quantification of Salmonella species in food samples is routinely performed using conventional culture-based techniques, which are labor intensive, involve well-trained personnel, and are unsuitable for on-site and high-throughput analysis. To overcome these drawbacks, many research teams have developed alternative methods like biosensors, and more particularly aptasensors, were a nucleic acid is used as biorecognition element. The increasing interest in these devices is related to their high specificity, convenience, and relative rapid response. This review aims to present the advances made in these last years in the development of biosensors for the detection and the quantification of Salmonella, highlighting applications on meat from the chicken food chain.

Abstract
The monitoring of drinking water for indicators of fecal contamination is crucial for ensuring a safe supply. In this study, a novel electrochemical method was developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in drinking water. This strategy is based on the use of engineered bacteriophages (phages) to separate and concentrate target E. coli when conjugated with magnetic beads, and to facilitate the detection by expressing gold binding peptides fused alkaline phosphatase (GBPs-ALP). The fusion protein GBPs-ALP has both the enzymatic activity and the ability to directly bind onto a gold surface. This binding-peptide mediated immobilization method provided a novel and simple approach to immobilize proteins on a solid surface, requiring no post-translational modifications. The concentration of E. coli was determined by measuring the activity of the ALP on gold electrodes electrochemically using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). This approach was successfully applied in the detection of E. coli in drinking water. We were able to detect 105 CFU mL-1 of E. coli within 4 hours. After 9 hours of preincubation, 1 CFU of E. coli in 100 mL of drinking water was detected with a total assay time of 12 hours. This approach compares favorably to the current EPA method and has the potential to be applied to detect different bacteria in other food matrices.

Abstract
An impedance based microfluidic biosensor for simultaneous and rapid detection of Salmonella serotypes B and D in ready-to-eat (RTE) Turkey matrix has been presented. Detection of Salmonella at a concentration as low as 300 cells/ml with a total detection time of 1 hour has been achieved. The sensor has two sensing regions, with each formed from one interdigitated electrode array (IDE array) consisting of 50 finger pairs. First, Salmonella antibody type B and D were prepared and delivered to the sensor to functionalize each sensing region without causing any cross contamination. Then the RTE Turkey samples spiked with Salmonella types B and D were introduced into the biosensor via the antigen inlet. The response signal resulted from the binding between Salmonella and its specific antibody demonstrated the sensor’s ability to detect a single type of pathogen, and multiple pathogens simultaneously. In addition, the biosensor’s selectivity was tested using non-specific binding of E. coli O157 and E. coli DH5 Alpha while the IDE array was coated with the Salmonella antibody. The results also showed the sensor is capable to differentiate low concentration of live Salmonella cells from high concentration of dead Salmonella cells, and high concentration of E. coli cells. A detailed study on antibody immobilization that includes antibody concentration, antibody coating time (0.5–3 hours) and use of cross-linker has been performed. The study showed that Salmonella antibody to Salmonella antigen is not a factor of antibody concentration after electrodes were saturated with antibody, while the optimal coating time was found to be 1.5 hours, and the use of cross-linker has improved the signal response by 45–60%.

Abstract
Recent foodborne outbreaks in multiple locations necessitate the continuous development of highly sensitive and specific biosensors that offer rapid detection of foodborne biological hazards. This work focuses on the development of a reduced graphene oxide‑titanium dioxide (rGO-TiO2) nanocomposite based aptasensor to detect Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. A label-free aptamer was immobilized on a rGO-TiO2 nanocomposite matrix through electrostatic interactions. The changes in electrical conductivity on the electrode surface were evaluated using electroanalytical methods. DNA aptamer adsorbed on the rGO-TiO2 surface bound to the bacterial cells at the electrode interface causing a physical barrier inhibiting the electron transfer. This interaction decreased the DPV signal of the electrode proportional to decreasing concentrations of the bacterial cells. The optimized aptasensor exhibited high sensitivity with a wide detection range (108 to 101 cfu mL-1), a low detection limit of 101 cfu mL-1 and good selectivity for Salmonella bacteria. This rGO-TiO2 aptasensor is an excellent biosensing platform that offers a reliable, rapid and sensitive alternative for foodborne pathogen detection.

Abstract
This paper presents an impedance-based biosensor for rapid and simultaneous detection of Salmonella serotypes B, D, and E with very low concentration. The biosensor consists of a focusing region, and three detection regions. The cells focusing was achieved using a ramp down electroplated vertical electrode pair along with tilted thin film finger pairs that generate p-DEP forces to focus and concentrate the bacterial cells into the center of the microchannel, and direct them toward the detection region. The detection regions consist of three interdigitated electrode arrays (IDEA), each with 20 pairs of finger coated with a mixture of anti-Salmonella antibody and crosslinker to enhance the adhesion to IDEA. The impedance changes as the target Salmonella binds to the antibody. The biosensor has showed excellent performance as proven by the detection of a single Salmonella serotype B, and simultaneous detection of two Salmonella serotypes B and D with a limit of detection (LOD) of 8 Cells/ml in ready-to-eat turkey samples, the addition of focusing capability improved the measured signal by a factor of between 4-4.5, the total detection time of 45 minutes, selectivity of the sensor on different types of bacterial cells, and the ability to distinguish between dead and live cells.

Abstract
Salmonella Typhimurium is one of the main causes of outbreaks and sporadic cases of human gastroenteritis. At present, the rapid detection of this pathogen is a major goal of biosensing technology applied to food safety. In fact, ISO standardized culture method takes up to ten days to provide a reliable response. In this paper, we describe a relatively simple protocol for detecting Salmonella Typhimurium in chicken meat based on a Quartz-Crystal Microbalance (QCM), which leads to a limit of detection (LOD) less than of 10° CFU/mL and requires a pre-enrichment step lasting only 2 h at 37 °C. The reliability of the proposed immunosensor has been demonstrated through the validation of the experimental results with ISO standardized culture method. The cost-effectiveness of the procedure and the rapidity of the QCM-based biosensor in providing the qualitative response make the analytical method described here suitable for applications in food inspection laboratory and throughout the chain production of food industry.

Abstract
A sensitive and disposable amperometric immunosensor for Saccharomyces cerevisiae was constructed by using carbon screen-printed electrodes modified with propionic acid-functionalized graphene oxide as transduction element. The affinity-based biosensing interface was assembled by covalent immobilization of a specific polyclonal antibody on the carboxylate-enriched electrode surface via a water-soluble carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide coupling approach. A concanavalin A-peroxidase conjugate was further used as signaling element. The immunosensor allowed the amperometric detection of the yeast in buffer solution and white wine samples in the range of 10-107 CFU/mL. This electroanalytical device also exhibited low detection limit and high selectivity, reproducibility, and storage stability. The immunosensor was successfully validated in spiked white wine samples.

Abstract
In this study, a whole-course nucleic-acid-constructed biosensor that combines the all-in-one concepts of the universal blocking linker recombinase polymerase amplification (UBLRPA) and a peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-based lateral flow device (PLFD) has been developed for the ultrasensitive detection of food pathogens. Using the preamplification UBLRPA principle, a universal linker and C3 space blocker were utilized to produce the universal linker single-duplex DNA products. The developed amplification system was employed to convert duplex products to a single strand. In the signal recognition strategy, a special PNA probe was successfully employed in the portable PLFD. The UBLRPA products were identified visually using the PLFD through dual hybridization (a PNA probe on the gold nanoparticle (Au-NP) was combined with a universal linker on the end of the products; a PNA capture probe was used on the test line and a universal linker on the other end of the products). The accumulation of Au-NPs produced a characteristic red band, enabling the visual detection of a food pathogen without further testing. To demonstrate the value of the all-in-one biosensor, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar typhimurium was used as a model organism. The biosensor showed high selectivity and extraordinary repeatability using S. typhimurium, and the limit of detection was 4 CFU mL-1. Furthermore, when milk samples artificially contaminated with S. typhimurium were analyzed, the analysis was completed within 30 min without complicated instrumentation. The results exhibited good precision and recovery. This portable all-in-one biosensor demonstrates great promise for the screening of pathogens in food and environmental samples.

Abstract
Transferring the colorimetric oxidase test to electrochemistry: quantitative detection of bacteria by means of cytochrome c oxidase.
The colorimetric identification of pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria in cell culture is commonly performed using the redox mediator N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-para-phenylene-diamine (TMPD) in the so-called oxidase test, which indicates the presence of bacterial cytochrome c oxidases. The presented study demonstrates the ability of electrochemistry to employ TMPD to detect bacteria and quantify the activity of bacterial cytochrome c oxidases. Cyclic voltammetry studies and chronoamperometry measurements performed on the model organism Bacillus subtilis result in a turnover number, calculated for single bacteria. Furthermore, trace amounts of cytochrome c oxidases were revealed in aerobically cultured Escherichia coli, which to our knowledge no other technique is currently able to quantify in molecular biology. The reported technique could be applied to a variety of pathogenic bacteria and has the potential to be employed in future biosensing technology.

Abstract
A new type of carbon nanotube (CNT)-based impedimetric biosensing method has been developed for rapid and selective detection of live bacterial cells. A proof-of-concept study was conducted using T2 bacteriophage-based biosensors for electrochemical detection of Escherichia coli B. The T2 bacteriophage (virus) served as the biorecognition element, which was immobilized on polyethylenimine (PEI)-functionalized carbon nanotube transducer on glassy carbon electrode. Charge-directed, orientated immobilization of bacteriophage particles on carbon nanotubes was achieved through covalent linkage of phage capsid onto the carbon nanotubes. The presence of the immobilized phage on carbon nanotube-modified electrode was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to monitor the changes in the interfacial impedance due to the binding of E. coli B to T2 phage on the CNT-modified electrode. The detection was highly selective toward the B strain of E. coli as no signal was observed for the nonhost K strain of E. coli. The present achievable detection limit of the biosensor is 103 CFU/mL.

Abstract
Infections caused by various known and emerging pathogenic microorganisms, including antibiotic-resistant strains, are a major threat to global health and well-being. This highlights the urgent need for detection systems for microbial identification, quantification and characterization towards assessing infections, prescribing therapies and understanding the dynamic cellular modifications. Current state-of-the-art microbial detection systems exhibit a trade-off between sensitivity and assay time, which could be alleviated by selective and label-free microbial capture onto the sensor surface from dilute samples. AC electrokinetic methods, such as dielectrophoresis, enable frequency-selective capture of viable microbial cells and spores due to polarization based on their distinguishing size, shape and sub-cellular compositional characteristics, for downstream coupling to various detection modalities. Following elucidation of the polarization mechanisms that distinguish bacterial cells from each other, as well as from mammalian cells, this review compares the microfluidic platforms for dielectrophoretic manipulation of microbials and their coupling to various detection modalities, including immuno-capture, impedance measurement, Raman spectroscopy and nucleic acid amplification methods, as well as for phenotypic assessment of microbial viability and antibiotic susceptibility. Based on the urgent need within point-of-care diagnostics towards reducing assay times and enhancing capture of the target organism, as well as the emerging interest in isolating intact microbials based on their phenotype and subcellular features, we envision widespread adoption of these label-free and selective electrokinetic techniques.

Abstract
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the major cause of 150 million Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) reported annually world-wide. High prevalence of multi-drug-resistance makes it dangerous and difficult to cure. Therefore simple, quick and early diagnostic tools are essential for effective treatment and control. We report an electrochemical immunosensor based on thionine dye (Th) immobilized on functionalized-multiwalled carbon nanotube+chitosan composite coated on glassy carbon electrode (GCE/f-MWCNT-Chit@Th) for quick and sensitive detection of UPEC in aqueous solution. This immunosensor was constructed by sequential immobilization of UPEC, bovine serum albumin, primary antibody and Horse Radish Peroxidase (HRP) tagged secondary antibody on the surface of GCE/f-MWCNT-Chit@Th. When analyzed using 2.5mM of hydrogen peroxide reduction reaction using cyclic voltammetry in phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, the immunosensor showed excellent linearity in a range of 10(2)-10(9)cfu of UPEC mL(-1) with a current sensitivity of 7.162μA {log(cfumL(-1))}(-1). The specificity of this immunosensor was tested using other UTI and non-UTI bacteria, Staphylococcus, Klebsiella, Proteus and Shigella. The clinical applicability of the immunosensor was also successfully tested directly in UPEC spiked urine samples (simulated sample).

Abstract
Foodborne pathogens have continuously been a serious food safety issue and there is a growing demand for a rapid and sensitive method to screen the pathogens for on-line or in-field applications. Therefore, an impedimetric immunosensor based on the use of magnetic beads (MBs) for separation and a screen-printed interdigitated microelectrode (SP-IDME) for measurement was studied for the rapid detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium in foods. Streptavidin coated MBs were functionalized with corresponding biotinylated antibodies (Ab) to capture the target bacteria. The glucose oxidase (GOx)-Ab conjugates were employed to label the MBs-Ab-cell complexes. The yielded MBs-Ab-cell-Ab-GOx biomass was mixed with the glucose solution to trigger an enzymatic reaction which produced gluconic acid. This increased the ion strength of the solution, thus decreasing the impedance of the solution measured on the SP-IDME. Our results showed that the immunosensor was capable of specifically detecting E. coli O157:H7 and S. Typhimurium within the range of 10(2)-10(6) cfu ml(-1) in the pure culture samples. E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef and S. Typhimurium in chicken rinse water were also examined. The limits of detection (LODs) for the two bacteria in foods were 2.05×10(3) cfu g(-1) and 1.04×10(3) cfu ml(-1), respectively. This immunosensor required only a bare electrode to measure the impedance changes, and no surficial modification on the electrode was needed. It was low-cost, reproducible, easy-to-operate, and easy-to-preserve. All these merits demonstrated this immunosensor has great potential for the rapid and on-site detection of pathogenic bacteria in foods.

Abstract
Food losses due to crop infections from pathogens such as bacteria, viruses and fungi are persistent issues in agriculture for centuries across the globe. In order to minimize the disease induced damage in crops during growth, harvest and postharvest processing, as well as to maximize productivity and ensure agricultural sustainability, advanced disease detection and prevention in crops are imperative. This paper reviews the direct and indirect disease identification methods currently used in agriculture. Laboratory-based techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), immunofluorescence (IF), fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), flow cytometry (FCM) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) are some of the direct detection methods. Indirect methods include thermography, fluorescence imaging and hyperspectral techniques. Finally, the review also provides a comprehensive overview of biosensors based on highly selective bio-recognition elements such as enzyme, antibody, DNA/RNA and bacteriophage as a new tool for the early identification of crop diseases.

Abstract
In this study, we developed an interdigitated gold microelectrode-based impedance sensor to detect Escherichia coli (E. coli) in human urine samples for urinary tract infection (UTI) diagnosis. E. coli growth in human urine samples was successfully monitored during a 12-h culture, and the results showed that the maximum relative changes could be measured at 10Hz. An equivalent electrical circuit model was used for evaluating the variations in impedance characteristics of bacterial growth. The equivalent circuit analysis indicated that the change in impedance values at low frequencies was caused by double layer capacitance due to bacterial attachment and formation of biofilm on electrode surface in urine. A linear relationship between the impedance change and initial E. coli concentration was obtained with the coefficient of determination R(2)>0.90 at various growth times of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 12h in urine. Thus our sensor is capable of detecting a wide range of E. coli concentration, 7×10(0) to 7×10(8) cells/ml, in urine samples with high sensitivity.
