Abstract
Biosensors are analytical devices for detecting a wide range of targets, including cells, proteins, DNA, enzymes, and chemical and biological compounds. They mostly rely on using bioprobes with a high binding affinity to the target for specific detection. However, low specificity and effectiveness of the conventional biosensors has led to the search for novel materials, that can specifically detect biomolecules. Aptamers are a group of single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides, that can bind to their targets with high specificity and serve as effective bioprobes for developing aptamer-based biosensors. Aptamers have a shorter production time, high stability, compared to traditional bioprobes, and possess ability to develop them for specific target molecules for tailored applications. Thus, various aptasensing approaches, including electrochemical, optical, surface plasmon resonance and chip-dependent approaches, have been investigated in recent times for various biological targets, including foodborne pathogens. Hence, this article is an overview of various conventional foodborne pathogen detection methods, their limitations and the ability of aptamer-based biosensors to overcome those limitations and replace them. In addition, the current status and advances in aptamer-based biosensors for the detection of foodborne pathogens to ensure food safety were also discussed.

[PMID: 37126876 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115337] [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: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 03/30/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
The rapid detection of low concentrations of Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is an essential preventive measure for food safety and prevention of foodborne illness. The study presented in this paper addresses this critical issue by proposing a single mode-tapered seven core-single mode (STSS) fiber ring laser (FRL) biosensor for S. Typhimurium detection. The experimental results show that the specific detection time of S. Typhimurium is less than 20 min and the wavelength shift can achieve -0.906 nm for an S. Typhimurium solution (10 cells/mL). Furthermore, at a lower concentration of 1 cell/mL applied to the biosensor, a result of -0.183 nm is observed in 9% of samples (1/11), which indicates that the proposed FRL biosensor has the ability to detect 1 cell/mL of S. Typhimurium. In addition, the detection results in chicken and pickled pork samples present an average deviation of -27% and -23%, respectively, from the measured results in phosphate buffered saline. Taken together, these results show the proposed FRL biosensor may have potential applications in the fields of food safety monitoring, medical diagnostics, etc.

[PMID: 36948344 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2022] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 03/24/2023]
Abstract
Among polysaccharides of environmental and economic interest, chitosan (CS) is receiving much attention, particularly in the food and biotechnology industries to encapsulate active food ingredients and immobilize enzymes. CS nanoparticles (CS NPs) combine the intrinsic beneficial properties of both natural polymers and nanoscale particles such as quantum size effect, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ease of modification, and have great potential for bioimaging, drug delivery, and biosensing applications. Aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides that can fold into predetermined structures and bind to the corresponding biomolecules. They are mainly used as targeting ligands in biosensors, disease diagnostic kits and treatment strategies. They can deliver contrast agents and drugs into cancer cells and tissues, control microorganism growth and precisely target pathogens. Aptamer-conjugated CS NPs can significantly improve the efficacy of conventional therapies, minimize their side effects on normal tissues, and overcome the enhanced permeability retention (EPR) effect. Further, aptamer-conjugated carbohydrate-based nanobiopolymers have shown excellent antibacterial and antiviral properties and can be used to develop novel biosensors for the efficient detection of antibiotics, toxins, and other biomolecules. This updated review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the bioapplications of aptamer-conjugated CS NPs used as innovative diagnostic and therapeutic platforms, their limitations, and potential future directions.

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 novel aptamer-AuNP-conjugated carboxymethyl chitosan-functionalized graphene oxide (CMC/GO@Apt-Au NP) probe was for the first time developed for the determination of Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium). Owing to the conformational change of the aptamers in the presence of S. typhimurium, the Au NPs, which were pre-adsorbed on the aptamers through van der Waals forces, were released into the solution phase and induced the color change of the solution. As a result, S. typhimurium ranging from 102 to 107 CFU/mL was successfully identified using the designed assay with a limit of detection (LOD) of 10 CFU/mL. This low detection level allowed the sensitive recognition of S. typhimurium in milk samples within 40 min without sample pretreatment, a conclusion that agreed well with the traditional plate counting method. The developed method not only provides a rapid way for the determination of S. typhimurium with simplicity and sensitivity but also shows potential universality in the quantification of other pathogenic microorganisms.

Abstract
Biomass and biowastes stand as sustainable and cost-effective environmentally benign alternative feedstock. Chitosan is a biocompatible, bioactive, and biodegradable biopolymer derived from chitin to achieve eight aspects out of the 12 green chemistry principles. Chitosan got significant attention in several fields including chemical analysis, in addition to chemical functionally, which enabled its use as adsorbent and its structural crosslinking using various crosslinkers. The physicochemical, technological, and optical properties of chitosan have been extensively exploited in analysis. Mainly, deacetylation degree and molecular weight are controlling its properties and hence controlling its functions. This review presents a structure, properties, and functions relationships of chitosan. It also aims to provide an overview of the different functions that chitosan can serve in each analytical technique such as supporting matrix, catalyst…etc. The contribution of chitosan in improving the ecological performance is discussed in each technique.

Abstract
We developed an effective and specific colorimetric strategy to detect Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) based on hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)-induced supramolecular assembly of β-cyclodextrin-capped gold nanoparticles (β-CD-AuNPs). In this study, ssDNA aptamer of S. typhimurium could combine with CTAB to form the supramolecular ssDNA-CTAB composite, so the ssDNA aptamer was applied to control the concentration of CTAB. In the presence of S. typhimurium, ssDNA aptamers selectively bound to S. typhimurium but not to CTAB, leading to the host-guest chemistry reaction of CTAB and β-CD resulting in β-CD-AuNP supramolecular assembly aggregation with an obvious color change. The ratio of absorption at 650 and 520 nm (A650nm/A520nm) has a linear correlation to the log scale of the concentration of the bacteria (1 × 102-1 × 107 CFU/mL) with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 13 CFU/mL. In addition, this optical sensor has good selectivity and practicability. In milk samples, the recovery was 93.55-111.32%, which suggested its potential application in real samples.

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
Pathogenic bacteria and several biomolecules produced by cells and living organisms are common biological components posing a harmful threat to global health. Several studies have devised methods for the detection of varying pathogenic bacteria and biomolecules in different settings such as food, water, soil, among others. Some of the detection studies highlighting target pathogenic bacteria and biomolecules, mechanisms of detection, colorimetric outputs, and detection limits have been summarized in this review. In the last 2 decades, studies have harnessed various nanotechnology-based methods for the detection of pathogenic bacteria and biomolecules with much attention on functionalization techniques. This review considers the detection mechanisms, colorimetric prowess of bio-receptors and compares the reported detection efficiency for some bio-receptor functionalized nanoparticles. Some studies reported visual, rapid, and high-intensity colorimetric detection of pathogenic bacteria and biomolecules at a very low concentration of the analyte. Other studies reported slight colorimetric detection only with a large concentration of an analyte. The effectiveness of bio-receptor functionalized nanoparticles as detection component varies depending on their selectivity, specificity, and the binding interaction exhibited by nanoparticles, bio-receptor, and analytes to form a bio-sensing complex. It is however important to note that the colorimetric properties of some bio-receptor functionalized nanoparticles have shown strong and brilliant potential for real-time and visual-aided diagnostic results, not only to assess food and water quality but also for environmental monitoring of pathogenic bacteria and a wide array of biomolecules.

Abstract
Modern society has been facing serious health-related problems including food safety, diseases and illness. Hence, it is urgent to develop analysis methods for the detection and control of food contaminants, disease biomarkers and pathogens. As the traditional instrumental methods have several disadvantages, including being time consuming, and having high cost and laborious procedures, optical nanosensors have emerged as promising alternative or complementary approaches to those traditional ones. With the advantages of simple preparation, high surface-to-volume ratio, excellent biocompatibility, and especially, unique optical properties, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been demonstrated as excellent transducers for optical sensing systems. Herein, we provide an overview of the synthesis of AuNPs and their excellent optical properties that are ideal for the development of optical nanosensors based on local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), colorimetry, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) phenomena. We also review the sensing strategies and their mechanisms, as well as summarizing the recent advances in the monitoring of food contaminants, disease biomarkers and pathogens using developed AuNP-based optical nanosensors in the past seven years (2015-now). Furthermore, trends and challenges in the application of these nanosensors in the determination of those analytes are discussed to suggest possible directions for future developments.

Abstract
The epidemic of infectious diseases caused by contagious pathogens is a life-threatening hazard to the entire human population worldwide. A timely and accurate diagnosis is the critical link in the fight against infectious diseases. Aptamer-based biosensors, the so-called aptasensors, employ nucleic acid aptamers as bio-receptors for the recognition of target pathogens of interest. This review focuses on the design strategies as well as state-of-the-art technologies of aptasensor-based diagnostics for infectious pathogens (mainly bacteria and viruses), covering the utilization of three major signal transducers, the employment of aptamers as recognition moieties, the construction of versatile biosensing platforms (mostly micro and nanomaterial-based), innovated reporting mechanisms, and signal enhancement approaches. Advanced point-of-care testing (POCT) for infectious disease diagnostics are also discussed highlighting some representative ready-to-use devices to address the urgent needs of currently prevalent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Pressing issues in aptamer-based technology and some future perspectives of aptasensors are provided for the implementation of aptasensor-based diagnostics into practical application.

Abstract
Salmonella contamination in food production and processing is a serious threat to consumer health. More and more rapid detection methods have been proposed to compensate for the inefficiency of traditional bacterial cultures to suppress the high prevalence of Salmonella more efficiently. The contamination of Salmonella in foods can be identified by recognition elements and screened using rapid detection methods with different measurable signals (optical, electrical, etc.). Therefore, the different signal transduction mechanisms and Salmonella recognition elements are the key of the sensitivity, accuracy and specificity for the rapid detection methods. In this review, the bioreceptors for Salmonella were firstly summarized and described, then the current promising Salmonella rapid detection methods in foodstuffs with different signal transduction were objectively summarized and evaluated. Moreover, the challenges faced by these methods in practical monitoring and the development prospect were also emphasized to shed light on a new perspective for the Salmonella rapid detection methods applications.

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
Salmonella, a typical foodborne pathogen, always seriously threatens the health and even life of both humans and animals. However, highly sensitive and fast quantitative methods for its detection are remaining to be challenged. Herein, we presented an efficient method with dual signal amplification strategy by combining immune hybridization chain reaction (HCR) with surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) to high sensitively detect Salmonella typhimurium in food. After sample preparation, S. typhimurium were specifically captured by immunomagnetic beads (IMBs), then aptamers and hairpin-probes were added to trigger HCR to form nicked dsDNA, finally 4',6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI) was incubated with HCR products and then the whole system was mixed with AgNP colloid to detect the SERS intensity at 1610 cm-1. As a result, a good linear relationship was achieved between SERS intensities and corresponding concentrations of S. typhimurium ranging from 10 to 105 CFU/mL, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 6 CFU/mL in 3.5 h. The proposed method has been successfully applied to capture and detect the S. typhimurium in spiked milk samples, and the results were consistent with those of the traditional plate counting method. The method, with combination of HCR and SERS, achieves double amplification of the detection signal and significantly improves the detection sensitivity of S. typhimurium. And it also shows good application potential for the highly sensitive detection of other contaminants in food.

Abstract
Food industry is always looking for more innovative and accurate ways to monitor the food safety and quality control of final products. Current detection techniques of analytes are costly and time-consuming, and occasionally require professional experts and specialized tools. The usage of nanomaterials in sensory systems has eliminated not only these drawbacks but also has advantages such as higher sensitivity and selectivity. This article first presents a general overview of the current studies conducted on the detection of spoilage and adulteration in foods from 2015 to 2020. Then, the sensory properties of nanomaterials including metal and magnetic nanoparticles, carbon nanostructures (nanotubes, graphene and its derivatives, and nanofibers), nanowires, and electrospun nanofibers are presented. The latest investigations and advancements in the application of nanomaterial-based sensors in detecting spoilage (food spoilage pathogens, toxins, pH changes, and gases) and adulterants (food additives, glucose, melamine, and urea) have also been discussed in the following sections. To conclude, these sensors can be applied in the smart packaging of food products to meet the demand of consumers in the new era.

Abstract
Salmonella is one of the main causes of foodborne infectious diseases, posing a serious threat to public health. It can enter the food supply chain at various stages of production, processing, distribution, and marketing. High prevalence of Salmonella necessitates efficient and effective approaches for its identification, detection, and monitoring at an early stage. Because conventional methods based on plate counting and real-time polymerase chain reaction are time-consuming and laborious, novel rapid detection methods are urgently needed for in-field and on-line applications. Biosensors provide many advantages over conventional laboratory assays in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy, and show superiority in rapid response and potential portability. They are now recognized as promising alternative tools and one of the most on-site applicable and end user-accessible methods for rapid detection. In recent years, we have witnessed a flourishing of studies in the development of robust and elaborate biosensors for detection of Salmonella in food. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview on Salmonella biosensors by highlighting different signal-transducing mechanisms (optical, electrochemical, piezoelectric, etc.) and critically analyzing its recent trends, particularly in combination with nanomaterials, microfluidics, portable instruments, and smartphones. Furthermore, current challenges are emphasized and future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
A rapid and sensitive colorimetric assay is described for Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) detection using urea/phenol red impregnated test paper. Aptamer-modified Fe3O4@Ag multifunctional hybrid nanoprobes (apt-Fe3O4@Ag NPs) were used to specifically captured S. typhimurium; the nanoprobes were quickly etched by H2O2 to form Ag+. The generated Ag+ can inhibit the urease-catalyzed hydrolysis reaction of urea to produce NH4+. Consequently, the as-prepared test paper displayed a yellow color. In the presence of S. typhimurium, the target bacteria can cause aggregation of apt-Fe3O4@Ag NPs, and the deposited Ag on the nanoprobe's surface is shielded against H2O2-induced oxidative decomposition leading to reduced Ag+ production. The catalytic activity of urease cannot be inhibited completely by inadequate amount of Ag+. An obvious color change from yellow to pink can be monitored directly using our test paper as a result of increased NH4+. The entire assay procedure could be completed within 1 h. A limit of detection of 48 cfu/mL is achieved with a linear range of 1 × 102 to 1 × 106 cfu/mL. The recoveries of S. typhimurium spiked in pure milk samples were 92.48-94.05%. Graphical abstract Schematic diagram of the proposed colorimetric assay for S. typhimurium detection based on etching of bifunctional apt-Fe3O4@Ag NPs and inhibiting catalytic activity of urease by Ag+. A color change from yellow to pink can be observed and correlated to the concentration of S. typhimurium.

Abstract
Aptamer-modified SiC quantum dots (DNA-SiC QDs) as fluorescent aptasensor are described for the determination of Proteus mirabilis. The SiC QDs were synthesized through one-pot hydrothermal method with particle sizes of about 14 nm. The amino-modified aptamers against P. mirabilis were conjugated to the surfaces of SiC QDs for bacteria recognition. The aptamer with an affinity for target protein can bound to P. mirabilis and this causes a decrease in the fluorescence intensity of DNA-SiC QDs. P. mirabilis levels were tested by the aptasensor within 35 min with fluorescence excitation/emission maxima at 320/420 nm. The linear range is from 103 to 108 CFU mL-1 and the limit of detection is 526 CFU mL-1 (S/N = 3). The aptasensor was used for determination of P. mirabilis in pure milk samples and obtained good accuracy (87.6-104.5%) and recovery rates (85-110.2%) were obtained. The detection in simulated forensic identification samples (pure milk, milk powder, blood, and urine) obtained gave satisfactory coincidence rates with the method of bacterial isolation and identification as standard. These results demonstrate that the fluorescent aptasensor is a potential tool for identification of P. mirabilis in forensic food poisoning cases. Graphical abstract Determination of P. mirabilis is based on SiC QDs fluorescence aptasensor. The SiC QDs with plentiful carboxyl groups on the surface can be synthesized via one-pot hydrothermal route. After activated by EDC/NHS, the SiC QDs can bind to aptamer to form fluorescence aptasensors. When the target P. mirabilis exists, the fluorescence of aptasensor will be quenched and the determination of the P. mirabilis based on the fluorescence change can be analyzed.

Abstract
A novel biological material named activated carbon fibers-sodium alginate@Sphingopyxis sp. YF1 (ACF-SA@YF1) was synthesized for microcystin-RR (MC-RR) and nutrient pollutant degradation in eutrophic water. The synthesized biomaterial was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Box-Behnken design and response surface methodology (RSM) were utilized for the optimization of conditions during the MC-RR degradation. The degradation of MC-RR and nutrient pollutants was dynamically detected. The results revealed that the optimal conditions were temperature 32.51 °C, pH 6.860, and inoculum 14.97%. The removal efficiency of MC-RR, nitrogen, phosphorus, and chemical oxygen demand were 0.76 μg/mL/h, 32.45%, 94.57%, and 64.07%, respectively. In addition, ACF-SA@YF1 also performed satisfactory cyclic stability, while the MC-RR removal efficiency was 70.38% after seven cycles and 78.54% of initial activity after 20 days of storage. Therefore, it is reasonable to believe that ACF-SA@YF1 is an effective material which has a great prospect in removing MC-RR and nutrients from freshwater ecosystems.
