Abstract
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a pathogenic serotype of Escherichia coli. Consumption of food contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 could cause a range of diseases. Therefore, it is of great importance to establish rapid and accurate detection methods for E. coli O157:H7 in food. In this study, based on LAMP and combined with the CRISPR/cas12a system, a sensitive and specific rapid detection method for E. coli O157:H7 was established, and One-Pot detection method was also constructed. The sensitivity of this method could stably reach 9.2 × 10° CFU/mL in pure culture, and the whole reaction can be completed within 1 h. In milk, E. coli O157:H7 with an initial contamination of 7.4 × 10° CFU/mL only needed to be cultured for 3 h to be detected. The test results can be judged by the fluorescence curve or by visual observation under a UV lamp, eliminating instrument limitations and One-Pot detection can effectively prevent the problem of false positives. In a word, the LAMP-CRISPR/cas12a system is a highly sensitive and convenient method for detecting E. coli O157:H7.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogenic bacterium contaminating milk and dairy foods causing food poisoning and foodborne pathogens. In this work, a smartphone-enabled enzyme cascade-triggered colorimetric platform was constructed using a cascade bio-nanozyme formed by immobilized glucose oxidase (GOx) on Fe3O4@Ag for rapid detection of S. aureus. Benefiting from reasonable experimental design, a bio-nanozyme cascade-triggered reaction was achieved through H2O2 produced by GOx oxidation of glucose, followed by in situ catalysis of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by the inherent peroxidase-like activity of Fe3O4@Ag to produce color signals. Staphylococcus aureus detection could be performed through naked-eye observation and smartphone measurement, and the developed assay can achieve quantitative and qualitative detection of S. aureus. The on-site nanoplatform had satisfactory specificity and sensitivity with a low detection limit of 6.9 cfu·mL-1 in 50 min. Moreover, the nanoplatform has good practicality in the detection of S. aureus in milk samples. Therefore, the assay has potential application prospects in food safety inspection.

Abstract
Shiga toxigenic E. coli are important foodborne zoonotic pathogens. The present study was envisaged to standardize loop-mediated isothermal amplification assays targeting stx1 and stx2 genes for rapid and visual detection of STEC and compare its sensitivity with PCR. The study also assessed the effect of short enrichment on the detection limit of LAMP and PCR. The developed LAMP assays were found to be highly specific. Analytical sensitivity of LAMP was 94 fg/µLand 25.8 fg/µL for stx-1 and stx-2 while LOD of 5 CFU/g of carabeef was measured after 6-12 h enrichment. The study highlights the importance of short (6-12 h) enrichment for improving the sensitivity of LAMP. The entire detection protocol could be performed within 9 h yielding results on the same day. The developed LAMP assays proved to be a handy and cost-effective alternative for screening STEC contamination in meat.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gut microbes pose challenges like colon inflammation, deadly diarrhea, antimicrobial resistance dissemination, and chronic disease onset. Development of early, rapid and specific diagnosis tools is essential for improving infection control. Point-of-care testing (POCT) systems offer rapid, sensitive, low-cost and sample-to-answer methods for microbe detection from various clinical and environmental samples, bringing the advantages of portability, automation, and simple operation. AREAS COVERED Rapid detection of gut microbes can be done using a wide array of techniques including biosensors, immunological assays, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and molecular biology. Inclusion of Internet of Things, machine learning, and smartphone-based point-of-care applications is an important aspect of POCT. In this review, the authors discuss various fast diagnostic platforms for gut pathogens and their main challenges. EXPERT OPINION Developing effective assays for microbe detection can be complex. Assay design must consider factors like target selection, real-time and multiplex detection, sample type, reagent stability and storage, primer/probe design, and optimizing reaction conditions for accuracy and sensitivity. Mitigating these challenges requires interdisciplinary collaboration among scientists, clinicians, engineers, and industry partners. Future efforts are essential to enhance sensitivity, specificity, and versatility of POCT systems for gut microbe detection and quantification, advancing infectious disease diagnostics and management.

Abstract
Pectobacterium carotovorum causing soft-rot disease requires on-site detection before the distribution of agricultural products. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), which is resistant to food inhibitors, is known for its high detection sensitivity for pathogens and when coupled with lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) enables visualizations. For detection of soft-rot disease, we developed a LAMP-LFA system targeting 16S ribosomal RNA, a partial sequence gene of P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum. The LAMP-LFA was performed at 60 °C for 50 min followed by hybridization of digoxygenin-labeled LAMP amplicon and biotinylated probe. Detection sensitivity was 3.22 × 101 CFU/mL in pure culture, which specifically detected the target. In Chinese cabbage and potato, the target was detected up to low levels of 1.57 × 102 CFU/g and 1.29 × 102 CFU/g, respectively. This study showed potential applicability as a sensitive point-of-care system for soft-rot disease bacteria detection in agricultural products.

Abstract
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), a rapid and sensitive isothermal nucleic acid amplification method, is a promising alternative to other molecular amplification techniques due to its superior specificity and sensitivity. However, due to primer dimerization, LAMP results in nonspecific and nontemplate amplification. And during the amplification confirmation process, there is carry-over contamination. These factors can result in false-positive results that overestimate the amount of DNA, preventing accurate detection. This review outlined several techniques for reducing false-positive LAMP results before amplification and confirming false-positive results after amplification. Before the amplification step, DNA polymerase activity can be decreased with organic additives such as dimethyl sulfoxide, betaine, and pullulan to prevent nonspecific amplification. The enzyme uracil-DNA-glycosylase (UDG) can eliminate false-positive results caused by carry-over contamination, and the hot-start effect with gold nanoparticles can reduce nonspecific amplification. When confirming false-positive results using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, guide RNA accurately detects LAMP amplification, allowing differentiation from nonspecific amplification. By confirming amplification, the colorimetric change in the deoxyribozyme (DNAzyme) formed by the reaction of the G-quadruplex sequence of the LAMP amplicon and hemin can distinguish false-positive results. Lateral flow immunoassay can distinguish false-positive results by accurately recognizing hybridized probes to LAMP amplicons.

Abstract
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a common pathogenic bacterium in food and water that can pose a threat to human health. The aim of this study was to develop loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for the detection of E. coli O157:H7 in food based on the specific gene Ecs_2840 and to construct rapid detection kits based on the established methods. Specifically, we established two methods of real-time fluorescent LAMP (RT-LAMP) and visual LAMP with calcein as an indicator. In pure bacterial culture, the cell sensitivity and genomic sensitivity of the RT-LAMP kit were 8.8 × 100 CFU ml-1 and 4.61 fg µl-1, respectively. The sensitivity of the visual LAMP kit was 2.35 × 100 CFU ml-1 and 4.61 fg µl-1. Both kits had excellent specificity and anti-interference performance. In addition, milk inoculated with 2.26 × 100 CFU ml-1E. coli O157:H7 could be detected within the reaction time after enrichment for 3 h. The results showed that the LAMP kits were rapid, sensitive, and specific for the detection of E. coli O157:H7 in food and had good application prospects in food safety surveillance.

Abstract
Nucleic acids are prominent biomarkers for diagnosing infectious pathogens using nucleic acid amplification techniques (NAATs). PCR, a gold standard technique for amplifying nucleic acids, is widely used in scientific research and diagnosis. Efficient pathogen detection is a key to adequate food safety and hygiene. However, using bulky thermal cyclers and costly laboratory setup limits its uses in developing countries, including India. The isothermal amplification methods are exploited to develop miniaturized sensors against viruses, bacteria, fungi and other pathogenic organisms and have been applied for in situ diagnosis. Isothermal amplification techniques have been found suitable for POC techniques and follow WHO's ASSURED criteria. LAMP, NASBA, SDA, RCA and RPA are some of the isothermal amplification techniques which are preferable for POC diagnostics. Furthermore, methods such as WGA, CPA, HDA, EXPAR, SMART, SPIA and DAMP were introduced for even more accuracy and robustness. Using recombinant polymerases and other nucleic acid-modifying enzymes has dramatically broadened the detection range of target pathogens under the scanner. The coupling of isothermal amplification methods with advanced technologies such as CRISPR/Cas systems, fluorescence-based chemistries, microfluidics and paper-based sensors has significantly influenced the biosensing and diagnosis field. This review comprehensively analyzed isothermal nucleic acid amplification methods, emphasizing their advantages, disadvantages and limitations.

Abstract
Rapid detection methods require pre-enrichment culture in order to detect low levels of foodborne pathogens. To rapidly detect foodborne pathogens, enrichment culture processes could be replaced. Filtration and immunomagnetic separation methods have been identified to effectively concentrate and separate target pathogens from foods. In this study, a combination of filtration and immunomagnetic separation (IMS) has enabled the rapid and sensitive detection of foodborne pathogens. The pretreatment method, including separation and concentration procedures, increased sensitivity 10-100-fold. The sensitivity of a combination method using filtration and IMS to detect Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium was 100-101 CFU/10 mL. In fresh-cut apples, IMS combined with filtration effectively improved the detection limit of real-time PCR to 2.70 × 101 CFU/g in E. coli O157:H7 and 1.80 × 102 CFU/g in Salmonella. The filtration simplified processing of large-volumes (250 mL) and effectively concentrated pathogens while decreasing immunomagnetic beads used in IMS. Bacterial concentration by IMS combined with filtration increased sensitivity 10-100-fold compared with control. In addition, the application of IMS effectively removed concentrated residual food material (10-15 mg/mL) after filtration, improving relative sensitivity. In conclusion, this method may detect foodborne pathogen in foods such as fresh-cut fruits in a more rapid and sensitive fashion than traditional culture-based methods.

Abstract
![]()
Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are currently the most used
point-of-care
sensors for both diagnostic (e.g., pregnancy test, COVID-19 monitoring)
and environmental (e.g., pesticides and bacterial monitoring) applications.
Although the core of LFA technology was developed several decades
ago, in recent years the integration of novel nanomaterials as signal
transducers or receptor immobilization platforms has brought improved
analytical capabilities. In this Review, we present how nanomaterial-based
LFAs can address the inherent challenges of point-of-care (PoC) diagnostics
such as sensitivity enhancement, lowering of detection limits, multiplexing,
and quantification of analytes in complex samples. Specifically, we
highlight the strategies that can synergistically solve the limitations
of current LFAs and that have proven commercial feasibility. Finally,
we discuss the barriers toward commercialization and the next generation
of LFAs.

Abstract
The filter concentration method facilitates the rapid detection of foodborne pathogens. The filter concentration method lowered the limit of detection (LOD) of artificially inoculated cabbage with Salmonella Typhimurium; however, the procedure injured foodborne pathogens during filtering procedure. Thus, to detect injured pathogens under the detection limit, an enrichment broth promoting pathogen resuscitation and growth is required. To rapidly recover, cultivate and lower the time to result (TTR) of S. Typhimurium detection after filter concentration method, a brain heart infusion (BHI) broth-based modified enrichment broth (MEB) was developed. The MEB was developed by fitting growth curves to a modified Gompertz model; 1.00 g/L of sodium pyruvate, 0.20 g/L proline and 2.0 g/L magnesium sulphate additives were optimized as additional components to rapidly grow filter-injured S. Typhimurium. As a result, the rate of filter-injured S. Typhimurium went from 100% to 0.0% using MEB within 3.5 h. In contrast, BHI required 4 h and buffered peptone water (BPW) required more than 4 h to decrease the injury rate to 0.0%. Using MEB, BHI and BPW, filter-injured S. Typhimurium in cabbages were enriched to 4.056 ± 0.026 Log CFU/25 g, 3.571 ± 0.187 Log CFU/25 g and 3.708 ± 0.156 Log CFU/25 g, respectively. Additionally, 1-9 CFU/mL S. Typhimurium in cabbage was detected within 3.0 h, including 1 h enrichment with MEB, whereas 5.0 h was required for BHI and BPW. Thus, the MEB developed in this study showed great potential as a short enrichment broth for the rapid detection of filter-injured S. Typhimurium.

Abstract
The isothermal amplification method, a molecular-based diagnostic technology, such as loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), is widely used as an alternative to the time-consuming and labor-intensive culture-based detection method. However, food matrices or other compounds can inhibit molecular-based diagnostic technologies, causing reduced detection efficiencies, and false-negative results. These inhibitors originating from food are polysaccharides and polyphenolic compounds in berries, seafood, and vegetables. Additionally, magnesium ions needed for amplification reactions can also inhibit molecular-based diagnostics. The successful removal of inhibitors originating from food and molecular amplification reaction is therefore proposed to enhance the efficiency of molecular-based diagnostics and allow accurate detection of food-borne pathogens. Among molecular-based diagnostics, PCR inhibitors have been reported. Nevertheless, reports on the mechanism and removal of isothermal amplification method inhibitors are insufficient. Therefore, this review describes inhibitors originating from food and some compounds inhibiting the detection of food-borne pathogens during isothermal amplification.

Abstract
Various diseases caused by food-borne or environmental pathogenic microorganisms have been a persistent threat to public health and global economies. It is necessary to regularly detect microorganisms in food and environment to prevent infection of pathogenic microorganisms. However, most traditional detection methods are expensive, time-consuming, and unfeasible in practice in the absence of sophisticated instruments and trained operators. Point-of-care testing (POCT) can be used to detect microorganisms rapidly on site and greatly improve the efficiency of microbial detection. Lab-on-chip (LOC) is an emerging POCT technology with great potential by integrating most of the experimental steps carried out in the laboratory into a single monolithic device. This review will primarily focus on principles and techniques of LOC for detection of microbial nucleic acid in food and environment, including sample preparation, nucleic acid amplification and sample detection.

Abstract
With the rise in outbreaks of pathogenic bacteria in both food and water resulting in an increased instance of infection, there is a growing public health problem in both developed and developing countries. In this increasing threat the most effective method for control and prevention is rapid and cost-effective detection. Research has shifted in recent years towards the development of rapid and on-site assays for the detection of these kinds of bacteria. However, there are still some limitations in the implementation of these assays in the field. This article discusses the current on-site detection methods. Current scope of advancements and limitations in the development or use of these on-site technologies for food and waterborne bacterial detection is evaluated in this study. With the continued development of these technologies, on-site detection will continue to impact many areas of public health. As these methods continue to improve and diversify further, on-site detection could become more widely implemented in food and water analysis.

Abstract
A loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay combined with a nanoparticle-based lateral flow biosensor (LAMP-LFB) was established for the rapid and accurate detection of the mobilized colistin resistance gene (mcr-1), which causes the loss of colistin antibacterial efficacy in clinical treatments. The amplification stage of the assay was completed in 60 min at 63°C, and the reaction products could be visually detected by employing the LFB, which provided a fast (within 2 min) and objective method to evaluate the amplification results. The LAMP assay amplified the target sequences of mcr-1 with high specificity. In pure strains, the detection limit of the LAMP-LFB assay was 360 fg plasmid DNA/reaction, and in spiked feces samples the value was approximately 6.3×103 CFU/mL (~6.3 CFU/reaction), which was tenfold more sensitive than the PCR assay. The results show that the developed LAMP-LFB assay will be a worthy tool for the simple, rapid, specific, and sensitive detection of mcr-1 gene in clinical settings and resource-limited areas.

Abstract
Understanding food safety hazard risks is essential to avoid potential negative heath impacts in the food supply chain in a post-COVID-19 pandemic era. Development of strategies for virus direction in foods plays an important role in food safety and verification. Early warning, tracing, and detection should be implemented as an integrated system in order to mitigate thecoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, in which the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is critical as it not only concerns screening of populations but also monitoring of possible contaminated sources such as the food supply chain. In this review, we point out the consequences in different aspects of our daily life in the post-COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of the food supply chain and the food industry. We summarize the possible transmission routes of COVID-19 in the food supply chain before exploring the development of corresponding detection tools of SARS-CoV-2. Accordingly, we compare different detection methods for the virus in foods, including different pretreatments of food matrices in the virus detection. Finally, the future perspectives are proposed.

Abstract
Rapid and reliable detection of pathogenic bacteria at the early stage represents a highly topical research area for food safety and public health. Although culture based method is the gold standard method for bacteria detection, recent techniques have promoted the development of alternative methods, such as surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). SERS provides additional advantages of high speed, simultaneous detection and characterization, multiplex analysis, and comparatively low cost. However, conventional SERS methods for bacteria detection are facing limitations of low sensitivity, susceptible to matrix interference, and poor accuracy. In recent years, specific detection of pathogenic bacteria with dual recognition based SERS methods has attracted increasing attentions. These methods include two steps recognition of target bacteria, and integrate the functions of target separation and detection. Considering their merits of excellent specificity, ultrahigh sensitivity, multiplex detection capability, and potential for on-site applications, these methods are promising alternatives for rapid and reliable detection of pathogenic bacteria. Herein, this review aims to summarize the recent advances in dual recognition based SERS methods for specific detection of pathogenic bacteria. Their advantages and limitations are discussed, and further perspectives are tentatively given. This review provides new insights into the application of SERS as a reliable tool for pathogenic bacteria detection.

Abstract
The outbreaks due to the low number of foodborne pathogens present in ready-to-eat products can be prevented by rapid and sensitive detection method. However, as a conventional detection method, it is impossible to monitor foodborne bacteria existing which is less than 50 cfu/25 g in a food. This study was designed to investigate the possibility of detecting 1 cfu in the short-term through filtration, DNA concentration, and qPCR. As a result of the filtration + DNA concentration method, the recovery concentrations of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium was not significantly different from initial inoculation (>7 cfu/25 g). In iceberg lettuce and cabbage, this method was able to detect 7 and 7 cfu/25 g of E. coli and 68 and 5 cfu/25 g of S. Typhimurium. We demonstrated the potential of the filtration + DNA concentration method as a shorter time alternative to conventional enrichment-based rapid detection in vegetables.

Abstract
Foodborne illness is a major public health issue that results in millions of global infections annually. The burden of such illness sits mostly with developing countries, as access to advanced laboratory equipment and skilled lab technicians, as well as consistent power sources, is limited and expensive. Current gold standards in foodborne pathogen screening involve labor-intensive sample enrichment steps, pathogen isolation and purification, and costly readout machinery. Overall, time to detection can take multiple days, excluding the time it takes to ship samples to off-site laboratories. Efforts have been made to simplify the workflow of such tests by integrating multiple steps of foodborne pathogen screening procedures into a singular device, as well as implementing more point-of-need readout methods. In this review, we explore recent advancements in developing point-of-need devices for foodborne pathogen screening. We discuss the detection of surface markers, nucleic acids, and metabolic products using both paper-based and microfluidic devices, focusing primarily on developments that have been made between 2015 and mid-2020.

Abstract
Fast and sensitive detection of E.coli O157: H7 is significantly essential for clinical management as well as for transmission prevention during disease outbreaks. Though many types of detection strategies have been implemented for measuring E.coli O157: H7, most of them still rely on complex instruments or tedious/laborious setups, which restrict their applications in resource-limited scenarios. Herein, we introduce an eye-based microfluidic aptasensor (EA-Sensor) for fast detection of E.coli O157: H7 without the assist of any instruments. We demonstrate the perfect coupling of aptamer sensing, hybridization chain reaction (HCR)-amplification and a distance-based visualized readout to quantitatively determine the pathogen concentration. We first used gel-electrophoresis assay to evaluate the system and the results proved that E.coli O157: H7 was well recognized by the aptamer and HCR could increase the signal by about 100 folds. In addition, the Aptamer specificity and signal-amplification ability were verified on the EA-Sensor for sensing E.coli O157: H7 by naked eyes. Furthermore, we demonstrated that E.coli O157: H7 in milk could be accurately and conveniently measured with good performance. With the benefits of operation integration and strategy integration, our EA-Sensor shows advantages of high specificity, easy operation, efficient amplification and visualized readout, which offers a favorable point-of-care tool for E.coli O157: H7 or other pathogen detection in resource-constrained settings.

Abstract
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an important foodborne pathogen and has been implicated in numerous food poisoning outbreaks worldwide. Although several microbiological and molecular methods have been developed to detect E. coli O157:H7, the difficulty to rapidly detect low levels of the foodborne bacteria persists. Here, the optimization of a filtration technique to concentrate and rapidly detect E. coli O157:H7 was conducted. Using homogenates prepared from freshly cut lettuce and cabbage samples, the E. coli O157:H7 concentration efficiencies of seven membrane filters were compared. Mixed cellulose ester (MCE) and polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) filters demonstrated the highest bacterial recoveries. In addition, the optimal E. coli O157:H7 detachment method from MCE filters after filtration was investigated. Tapping for 80 s was demonstrated to be the most effective method for detaching bacteria from the filters. Further, the possibility of the rapid detection of low levels of E. coli O157:H7 in lettuce and cabbage was evaluated using real-time polymerase chain reaction after bacterial concentration using MCE and PVDF filters. The use of MCE filters enabled the detection of 10° CFU/g (5 CFU/g) of E. coli O157:H7 within 2 hr without microbial enrichment culture. Therefore, concentration by filtration can be used for the rapid detection of low levels of foodborne pathogens. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The modified method, which has been verified in this study, has been optimized to reduce the analysis time and to detect very low concentrations of E. coli O157:H7 within 2 hr. All these detection systems have a direct economic impact on the food analysis of producers, health authorities, or third-party laboratories.

Biosens Bioelectron 2019; 147:111752. [PMID: 31630033 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2019.111752] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2019] [Revised: 09/10/2019] [Accepted: 09/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
The sensitive and efficient strategy remains a central challenge for early diagnosis of pathogenic bacteria. Herein, an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor was proposed based on the multiple amplification strategy via the 3D DNA walker, rolling circle amplification (RCA) and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) for the accurate detection of Escherichiacoli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7). Firstly, the target sequence extracted from E. coli O157:H7 was transformed and amplified by the DNA walker firstly. Subsequently, a large number of transformed nucleic acid sequences were amplified by the RCA reaction. And then, the progress of HCR was triggered by every fragment in RCA products to form a long double-stranded DNA sequence to immobilize electrochemical indicators, generating a significantly enhanced electrochemical signal. As expected, a high sensitivity with a detection limit of 7 CFU/mL was achieved based on the proposed multiple amplification strategy, which is superior to most current methods for E. coli O157: H7 assay. The multiple amplification strategy could be readily expanded for the detection of various pathogenic bacteria, providing a new approach for early diagnosis of pathogenic microorganisms or other diseases.
