Abstract
Although bacteriophage-based biosensors hold promise for detecting Staphylococcus aureus in food products in a timely, simple, and sensitive manner, the associated targeting mechanism of the biosensors remains unclear. Herein, a colourimetric biosensor SapYZU11@ZnFe2O4, based on a broad-spectrum S. aureus lytic phage SapYZU11 and a ZnFe2O4 nanozyme, was constructed, and its capacity to detect viable S. aureus in food was evaluated. Characterisation of SapYZU11@ZnFe2O4 revealed its effective immobilisation, outstanding biological activity, and peroxidase-like capability. The peroxidase activity of SapYZU11@ZnFe2O4 significantly decreased after the addition of S. aureus, potentially due to blockage of the nanozyme active sites. Moreover, SapYZU11@ZnFe2O4 can detect S. aureus from various sources and S. aureus isolates that phage SapYZU11 could not lyse. This may be facilitated by the adsorption of the special receptor-binding proteins on the phage tail fibre and wall teichoic acid receptors of S. aureus. Besides, SapYZU11@ZnFe2O4 exhibited remarkable sensitivity and specificity when employing colourimetric techniques to rapidly determine viable S. aureus counts in food samples, with a detection limit of 0.87 × 102 CFU/mL. Thus, SapYZU11@ZnFe2O4 has broad application prospects for the detection of viable S. aureus cells on food substrates.

Talanta 2024; 269:125446. [PMID: 38043343 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125446] [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: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023]
Abstract
The fabrication of multicolor chemiluminescence (CL) sensing chip for the discrimination and detection of multianalytes remains a great challenge. Herein, machine learning assisted multicolor microfluidic CL detection chip for the identification and concentration prediction of antibiotics was presented. Firstly, a three-channel microfluidic CL detection chip was fabricated. The three detection zones of the microfluidic detection chip were modified with CL catalyst Co(II) and different CL reagents including luminol, luminol mixed with fluorescein, and luminol mixed with phloxine B, respectively. Strong blue, green and pink-purple colored light emissions can be generated from the three detection zones in the presence of H2O2 solution. The three multicolor CL emissions show different degrees of reduce in intensity and change in color in the presence of different antibiotics, including diethylstilbestro (DES), metronidazole (MNZ), kanamycin (KAN), isoniazide (INH), and ceftiofur sodium (CS), resulting in distinct fingerprint-like response patterns. The red (R), green (G), blue (B) and gray scale values of the three multicolor light emissions were extracted and ten characteristic sensing parameters were chosen to obtain multicolor CL response database. Then, machine learning assisted data analysis were carried out. The five antibiotics can be facilely classified by using principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA), and further quantified by using deep neural networks (DNN) algorithm. Good results were obtained for identification of binary antibiotic mixtures, spiked antibiotics in water samples, and unknown antibiotic samples. Satisfied results were obtained for concentration prediction of antibiotics. This work provides a simple machine learning assisted and multicolor microfluidic CL detection chip based CL sensing strategy for discrimination and quantitative detection of multiple analytes.

Abstract
Aminoglycosides (AGs) are broad-spectrum antibiotics used in both human infection and animal medicine. The overuse of AGs causes undesirable residues in food, leading to serious health problems due to food chain accumulation. In recent years, various methods have been developed to determine AGs in food. Among these methods, fluorescent (FL), colorimetric and chemiluminescent (CL) optical methods possess advantages such as their simple instrumentation, low cost, simple operation, feasibility of realizing visualization, and smartphone imaging. This mini-review summarizes optical assays for the detection of AGs in food developed in recent years. The detection principles for different categories are discussed. Then, the amplification techniques for the ultrasensitive detection of AGs are introduced. We also discuss multiplex methods for the simultaneous detection of AGs. Finally, the challenges and future prospects are discussed in the Conclusions and Perspectives section.

Abstract
This study involves the generation of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) via a novel natural/non-toxic methodology using tea and orange-peel extracts. These were then embedded into a novel blend composed of a polyethylene oxide and gelatin (PEO-Gel) fibre mat. The scanning electron microscopy results indicated that the addition of both collagen (COL) and ascorbic acid (AA) into the PEO-Gel system (PEO-Gel-AA-COL system) enhances the Au NP incorporation into nanofibres leading to a diameter of 164.60 ± 20.95 and 192.43 ± 39.14 nm in contrast to the spraying observed with the Au PEO-Gel system alone. Releasing studies conducted over 30 min indicated that the PEO-Gel-AA-COL-orange peel Au (OpAu) system accounts for a higher content of Au release than the green tea Au (GtAu) NP system where a maximum release could be attained within 10-30 min depending on the amount of Au NPs that have been incorporated. Moreover, the transdermal diffusion studies conducted using Strat membrane indicated that Au NPs from both formulations (PEO-Gel-AA-COL-GtAu nanofibre, PEO-Gel-AA-COL-OpAu nanofibre) have diffused through the stratum corneum and trapped in the dermis and epidermis indicating its transdermal deliverability. Additionally, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay revealed that nanofibres have similar radical scavenging activity like AA standard. Toxicity evaluation on a zebra fish embryo model confirmed that both GtAu NPs and OpAu NPs do not induce any teratogenic activity and are safe to be used in the range of 1.0-167 µg ml-1.

Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as an outstanding photoresponsive nanomaterial has been widely used in biosensing. Other than the conventional single channel sensing mode, a triple-channel sensing array was developed for high discrimination of proteins based on the photoresponsive g-C3N4. Besides the photoluminescence and Rayleigh light scattering features of g-C3N4, we exploit the new photosensitive colorimetry of g-C3N4 as the third channel optical input. The triple-channel optical behavior of g-C3N4 can be synchronously changed after interaction with the protein, resulting in the distinct response patterns related to each specific protein. Such a triple-channel sensing array is demonstrated for highly discriminative and precise identification of nine proteins (hemoglobin, trypsin, lysozyme, cytochrome c, horseradish peroxidase, transferrin, human serum albumin, pepsin, and myoglobin) at 1 μM concentration levels with 100% accuracy. It also can discriminate proteins being present at different concentration and protein mixtures with different content ratios. The practicability of this sensor array is validated by high accuracy identification of nine proteins in human urine samples. This indicates that the array has a great potential in terms of analyzing biological fluids. Graphic abstract .
