Abstract
ELISA has become the gold standard for detecting harmful substances due to its specific antibody recognition and sensitive enzyme-catalyzed reactions. In this study, multifunctional magnetic Prussian blue nanolabels (MPBNs) were synthesized using a simple gentle two-step method to achieve a dual-readout mode. The MPBNs provide a sensitive colorimetric signal by efficiently catalyzing the oxidation of TMB and exhibit prominent photocatalytic degradation activity towards Rhodamine B (RhB). Supplemented by the quenching effect of oxTMB, the fluorescence was enabled to serve as a sensitive second signal. The magnetic property of the labels facilitates the separation and enrichment of the target, thereby improving sensitivity. Utilizing the versatile MPBNs, the visual limit of detection (vLOD) for Staphylococcus aureus is as low as 100 CFU/mL, with a quantitative analysis range of 102-108 CFU/mL. The introduction of photocatalytic reactions into immunoassay has opened up a new signal response system with strong momentum for development and application.

Abstract
Salmonella, the most prevalent food-borne pathogen, poses significant medical and economic threats. Swift and accurate on-site identification and serotyping of Salmonella is crucial to curb its spread and contamination. Here, a synthetic biology cascade reaction is presented on a paper substrate using CRISPR-Cas12a and recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), enabling the programming of a standard toehold RNA switch for a genome of choice. This approach employs just one toehold RNA switch design to differentiate between two different Salmonella serotypes, i.e., S. Typhimurium and S. Enteritidis, without the need for reengineering the toehold RNA switch. The sensor exhibits high sensitivity, capable of visually detecting as few as 100 copies of the whole genome from a model Salmonella pathogen on a paper substrate. Furthermore, this robust assay is successfully applied to detect whole genomes in contaminated milk and lettuce samples, demonstrating its potential in real sample analysis. Due to its versatility and practical features, genomes from different organisms can be detected by merely changing a single RNA element in this universal cell-free cascade reaction.

Abstract
Quantification of trace amounts of proteins is technically challenging because proteins cannot be directly amplified like nucleic acids. To improve the analytical sensitivity and to complement conventional protein analysis methods, we developed a highly sensitive and homogeneous detection strategy called Protein-Induced DNA Dumbbell Amplification (PINDA). PINDA combines protein recognition with exponential nucleic acid amplification by using protein binding probes made of DNA strands conjugated to protein affinity ligands. When a pair of probes bind to the same target protein, complementary nucleic acid sequences that are conjugated to each probe are brought into close proximity. The increased local concentration of the probes results in the formation of a stable dumbbell structure of the nucleic acids. The DNA dumbbell is readily amplifiable exponentially using techniques such as loop-mediated isothermal amplification. The PINDA assay eliminates the need for washing or separation steps, and is suitable for on-site applications. Detection of the model protein, thrombin, has a linear range of 10 fM-100 pM and detection limit of 10 fM. The PINDA technique is successfully applied to the analysis of dairy samples for the detection of β-lactoglobulin, a common food allergen, and Salmonella enteritidis, a foodborne pathogenic bacterium. The PINDA assay can be easily modified to detect other targets by changing the affinity ligands used to bind to the specific targets.

Abstract
Among biosensing systems for sensitive diagnoses fluorescence enhancement techniques have attracted considerable attention. This study constructed a simple multilayered structure comprising a plane metal mirror coated with a plasma-polymerized film (PPF) as an optical interference layer on a glass slide for fluorescence enhancement. Plasma polymerization enables the easy deposition of organic thin films containing functional groups, such as amino groups. This study prepared PPFs using acetonitrile as a monomer, and the influences of washing and the output powers of plasma polymerization on PPF thickness were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. This is because controlling the PPF thickness is vital in fluorescence enhancement. Multilayered glass slides prepared using a silver layer with 84 nm-thick acetonitrile PPFs exhibited 11- and 281-fold fluorescence enhancements compared with those obtained from the substrates with a bare surface and only modified by the silver layer, respectively. Oligonucleotides labeled with a thiol group and cyanine5 were successfully immobilized on the multilayered substrates, and the fluorescence of the acetonitrile PPFs was superior to that of the allylamine and cyclopropylamine PPFs. Furthermore, an aptamer-based sandwich assay targeting thrombin was performed on the multilayered glass slides, resulting in an approximately 5.1-fold fluorescence enhancement compared with that obtained from the substrate with a bare surface. Calibration curves revealed the relationship between fluorescence intensity and thrombin concentration of 10-1000 nM. This study demonstrates that PPFs can function as materials for fluorescence enhancement, immobilization for biomaterials, and aptamer-based sandwich assays.

Abstract
Detecting harmful pathogens in food is not only a crucial aspect of food quality management but also an effective way to ensure public health. In this paper, a complete nuclear magnetic resonance biosensor based on a novel gadolinium (Gd)-targeting molecular probe was developed for the detection of Salmonella in milk. First, streptavidin was conjugated to the activated macromolecular polyaspartic acid (PASP) via an amide reaction to generate SA-PASP. Subsequently, the strong chelating and adsorption properties of PASP toward the lanthanide metal gadolinium ions were exploited to generate the magnetic complex (SA-PASP-Gd). Finally, the magnetic complex was linked to biotinylated antibodies to obtain the bioprobe and achieve the capture of Salmonella. Under optimal experimental conditions, the sensor we have constructed can achieve a rapid detection of Salmonella within 1.5 h, with a detection limit of 7.1 × 103 cfu mL-1.

Abstract
Purpose Waterborne pathogens pose a significant threat to public health, emphasizing the continuous necessity for advancing robust detection techniques, particularly in preventing outbreaks associated with these pathogens. This study focuses on cholera, an infectious disease caused by Vibrio cholerae, serogroups O1 and O139, often transmitted through contaminated water and food, raising significant public health concerns in areas with poor sanitation and limited access to clean water. Methods We developed a colorimetric biosensor using aptamer-functionalized gold nanoparticles to identify Vibrio cholerae O139 and address this issue. The detection mechanism relies on the color change of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) from red to blue-purple induced by NaCl after the pathogen incubation and aptamer-target binding. Initial steps involved synthesizing and characterizing AuNPs, then exploring the impact of aptamer and NaCl concentrations on AuNP agglomeration. Optimization procedures for aptamer concentration and salt addition identified the optimal conditions for detection as 120 pM aptamers and 1 M NaCl. Results The aptasensor demonstrated a robust linear relationship, detecting V. cholerae concentrations from 103 to 108 CFU/mL, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 587 CFU/mL. Specificity tests and accurate sample analyses confirmed the efficiency of the AuNPs aptasensor, showcasing its reliability and speed compared to traditional culture examination methods. Moreover, we extended the aptasensor to a paper-based sensing platform with similar detection principles. Conclusion The change in color upon target binding was captured with a smartphone and analyzed using image processing software. The paper-based device detected the target in less than 2 min, demonstrating its convenience for on-field applications.

Abstract
Salmonella, a major contributor to foodborne infections, typically causes self-limiting gastroenteritis. However, it is frequently invasive and disseminates across the intestinal epithelium, leading to deadly bacteremia. Although the genus is subdivided into >2,600 serotypes based on their antigenic determinants, only few serotypes are responsible for most human infections. In this study, a rapid dot-blot immunoassay was developed to diagnose multiple Salmonella enterica serotypes with high incidence rates in humans. The feasibility of 10 commercial antibodies (four polyclonal and six monoclonal antibodies) was tested using the 18 serotypes associated with 67.5% Salmonella infection cases in the United States of America (U.S.A) in 2016. Ab 3 (polyclonal; eight of 18 serotypes), Ab 8 (monoclonal; 13 of 18 serotypes), and Ab 9 (monoclonal; 10 of 18 serotypes) antibodies exhibited high detection rates in western blotting and combinations of two antibodies (Ab 3+8, Ab 3+9, and Ab 8+9) were applied to dot-blot assays. The combination of Ab 3+8 identified 15 of the tested 18 serotypes in 3 h, i.e., S. Enteritidis, S. Typhimurium, S. Javiana, S. I 4,[5],12:i:-, S. Infantis, S. Montevideo, S. Braenderup, S. Thompson, S. Saintpaul, S. Heidelberg, S. Oranienburg, S. Bareilly, S. Berta, S. Agona, and S. Anatum, which were responsible for 53.7% Salmonella infections in the U.S. in 2016. This cost-effective and rapid method can be utilized as an on-site colorimetric method for Salmonella detection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nanobodies (Nbs), which consist of only antigen-binding domains of heavy chain antibodies, have been used in a various range of applications due to their excellent properties. Nevertheless, the size of Nbs is so small that their antigen binding sites may be sterically hindered after random fixation as capture antibodies, thus leading to poor detection performance in immunoassays. To address this problem, we have focused on the multivalent modification of Nbs, wanted to retain the advantage of good stability through enlarging the size of Nbs to a certain extent, while improve its affinity and reduce its influence by spatial orientation. RESULTS Here, we designed homo- and heterodimeric Nbs based on Nb413 and Nb422 which recognize different epitopes of Salmonella. The affinity of engineered bivalent nanobodies for S. Enteritidis were 2 orders of magnitude higher compared to monovalent Nbs and low to sub-nM KD, as calculated by Scatchard analysis. To further explore the potential of bivalent Nbs for the detection of Salmonella, we established a sandwich ELISA based on bivalent and phage-displayed Nbs (BNb-ELISA) for multiplex Salmonella determination. Compared with monovalent Nb-based ELISA, the limit of detection (LOD) of the BNb-ELISA was shown to increase 7.5-fold to 2.364 × 103 CFU mL-1 for S. Enteritidis. In addition, the feasibility of this approach for S. Enteritidis detection in real samples was evaluated, with recoveries ranging from 73.0 % to 125.6 % and coefficients of variation (CV) below 7.68 %. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY In this study, we developed for the first time bivalent Nbs against Salmonella and examined their improved affinity and impact on the performance of ELISA assay. It confirmed the high binding affinity and good ability of dimeric Nbs to reduce the occupation of the binding sites of immobilized antibodies. Thus, the multivalent modification of Nbs was demonstrated to be a promising means to enhance the performance of Nbs-based immunoassays for foodborne pathogens.

Abstract
Early and accurate diagnoses of pathogenic microorganisms is essential to correctly identify diseases, treating infections, and tracking disease outbreaks associated with microbial infections, to develop precautionary measures that allow a fast and effective response in epidemics and pandemics, thus improving public health. Aptamers are a class of synthetic nucleic acid molecules with the potential to be used for medical purposes, since they can be directed towards any target molecule. Currently, the use of aptamers has increased because they are a useful tool in the detection of specific targets. We present a brief review of the use of aptamers to detect and identify bacteria or even some toxins with clinical importance. This work describes the advances in the technology of aptamers, with the purpose of providing knowledge to develop new aptamers for diagnoses and treatment of different diseases caused by infectious microorganisms.

Abstract
In this work, aptamers against E. coli with better performance were obtained via cell systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (cell-SELEX) and dissociation constants (Kd) of aptamers were estimated to range from 133.87 to 199.44 nM. Furthermore, the selected aptamer was employed for label-free colorimetric detection of E. coli using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with peroxidase-like activity to catalyze the oxidation of tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce color development. This colorimetric apta-assay started with an aptamer-bacteria binding step, and the concentration of residual aptamers after binding depended on the amount of target bacteria. Then, the amount of separated residual aptamers determined the degree of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-inhibited catalytic activity of AuNPs, which resulted in a color change from dark blue to light blue. Owing to the excellent peroxidase activity of AuNPs, they could emit strong visible color intensity in less than 1 minute to improve visual detection sensitivity. Under optimized conditions, the sensitivity of detection was 5 × 103 CFU mL-1 visually and 75 CFU mL-1 using the UV-vis spectrum with a linear range from 5 × 102 to 1 × 106 CFU mL-1. And it had shown a good recovery rate in real samples of water, juice and milk compared with classical counting methods.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria are pathogens widely spread that are capable of causing mild to life-threatening diseases in human beings or other organisms. Rationally organizing the simple helical motif of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) tiles into designed ensemble structures with architecturally defined collective properties could lead to promising biosensing applications for pathogen detection. In this work, we facilely engineered multivalent hairpin aptamer probe-tethered DNA monolayers (MHAP-DNA monolayers) and applied them to build a fluorescence polarization-responsive circular isothermal strand displacement amplification (FP-CSDA) for Salmonella assay. In this system, the MHAP-DNA monolayers were constructed based on a dsDNA tile-directed self-assembly. A FAM-labeled reporting probe (RPFAM) with an inherent low FP signal serves as the signaling unit. The presence of target Salmonella leads to the trapping of F RPFAM into the super DNA monolayers via a target-triggered CSDA to peel off the tethered hairpin-structured aptamer probes (HAPs) responsible for the binding of RPFAM. As a result, the FP signal of the FAM fluorophore can be remarkably amplified due to the recycling of target Salmonella and the capacity of structural DNA materials to strongly restrict the free rotation of the FAM fluorophore but without a fluorescence quenching effect. Experimental results demonstrate that the FP assay is able to detect Salmonella with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 7.2 × 100 CFU/mL and high specificity. As a proof-of-concept study, we envision our study using DNA nanoarchitecture as the foundation to modulate CSDA-based FP assays, promising to open up a new avenue for disease diagnosis, food safety detection, and biochemical studies.

Abstract
The detection of foodborne pathogenic bacteria currently relies on their ability to grow on chemically defined liquid and solid media, which is the essence of the classical microbiological approach. Such procedures are time-consuming and the quality of the result is affected by the selectivity of the media employed. Several alternative strategies based on the detection of molecular markers have been proposed. These markers may be cell constituents, may reside on the cell envelope or may be specific metabolites. Each marker provides specific advantages and, at the same time, suffers from specific limitations. The food matrix and chemical composition, as well as the accompanying microbiota, may also severely compromise detection. The aim of the present review article is to present and critically discuss all available information regarding the molecular targets that have been employed as markers for the detection of foodborne pathogens. Their strengths and limitations, as well as the proposed alleviation strategies, are presented, with particular emphasis on their applicability in real food systems and the challenges that are yet to be effectively addressed.

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

Abstract
It is well known that people's health is seriously threatened by various pathogens (such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Treponema pallidum, Novel coronavirus, HIV, Mucor, etc.), which leads to heavy socioeconomic burdens. Therefore, early and accurate pathogen diagnosis is essential for timely and effective therapies. Up to now, diagnosing human contagious diseases at molecule and nano levels is remarkably difficult owing to insufficient valid probes when it comes to determining the biological markers of pathogens. Aptamers are a set of high‐specificity and high‐sensitivity plastic oligonucleotides screened in vitro via the selective expansion of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). With the advent of aptamer‐based technologies, their merits have aroused mounting academic interest. In recent years, as new detection and treatment tools, nucleic acid aptamers have been extensively utilized in the field of biomedicine, such as pathogen detection, new drug development, clinical diagnosis, nanotechnology, etc. However, the traditional SELEX method is cumbersome and has a long screening cycle, and it takes several months to screen out aptamers with high specificity. With the persistent development of SELEX‐based aptamer screening technologies, the application scenarios of aptamers have become more and more extensive. The present research briefly reviews the research progress of nucleic acid aptamers in the field of biomedicine, especially in the diagnosis of contagious diseases.

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
Multidrug-resistant Salmonella spp. is one of the leading causes of worldwide foodborne disease outbreaks. Animal-derived foods, particularly chicken and poultry products, are the most likely source of Salmonella transmission to humans. The increasing demand for chicken meat has raised a global food safety issue. This review aims to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella spp. in chickens from various countries in Asia. The methods for detecting Salmonella will also be discussed in this review. The prevalence of Salmonella spp. in chicken and poultry products is lower in developed countries than in developing countries. In addition, the incidence of Salmonella spp. in chicken and poultry products from fresh markets is higher than those from supermarkets. Furthermore, this review also reported the presence of multidrug-resistant Salmonella strains in various Asian countries. Rapid Salmonella detection based on immunological assays, molecular-based assays, and biosensors can provide more accurate results with high sensitivity and specificity. These methods also require a shorter time than the cultural-based Salmonella detection method. The use of suitable detection methods to determine the presence of Salmonella spp. in chicken and poultry products is important to ensure food safety.

Abstract
Water- and food-related health issues have received a lot of attention recently because food-poisoning bacteria, in particular, are becoming serious threats to human health. Currently, techniques used to detect these bacteria are time-consuming and laborious. To overcome these challenges, the colorimetric strategy is attractive because it provides simple, rapid and accurate sensing for the detection of Salmonella spp. bacteria. The aim of this study is to review the progress regarding the colorimetric method of nucleic acid for Salmonella detection. A literature search was conducted using three databases (PubMed, Scopus and ScienceDirect). Of the 88 studies identified in our search, 15 were included for further analysis. Salmonella bacteria from different species, such as S. Typhimurium, S. Enteritidis, S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi A, were identified using the colorimetric method. The limit of detection (LoD) was evaluated in two types of concentrations, which were colony-forming unit (CFU) and CFU per mL. The majority of the studies used spiked samples (53%) rather than real samples (33%) to determine the LoDs. More research is needed to assess the sensitivity and specificity of colorimetric nucleic acid in bacterial detection, as well as its potential use in routine diagnosis.

CRISPR-Cas system is present in the bacterial genome of some prokaryotes and is repurposed as a theragnostic tool against MDR pathogens. Nanoparticles and composites have also emerged as an efficient tool in theragnostic applications against MDR pathogens. The diagnostic limitations of the CRISPR-Cas system are believed to be overcome by a synergistic combination of the nanoparticles system and CRISPR-Cas using nanoparticles as vehicles. In this review, we have discussed the diagnostic application of CRISPR-Cas technologies along with their potential usage in applications like phage resistance, phage vaccination, strain typing, genome editing, and antimicrobial. we have also elucidated the antimicrobial and detection role of nanoparticles against foodborne MDR pathogens. Moreover, the novel combinatorial approach of CRISPR-Cas and nanoparticles for their synergistic effects in pathogen clearance and drug delivery vehicles has also been discussed.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Salmonella is a major foodborne pathogen in the poultry industry, wherein the control measures may include sanitation and antibacterial and vaccines. However, there have been severe global restrictions on using anti-Salmonella antibacterial agents in livestock. This situation, along with rapidly increasing drug-resistant bacterial species, has led to the exploration of unconventional methods to control Salmonella infection in poultry. In recent years, selection techniques of promising DNA aptamers have begun to permeate several medical branches, resulting in the development of numerous anti-Salmonella DNA aptamers, most of which are used as sensing molecules for diagnostic purposes. These DNA aptamers have been demonstrated to interfere with bacterial growth, multiplication, and viability. Aptamers formed in rolling circle amplification products (RCA-p) could improve the potential action of aptamer interference with bacteria. This study aimed to test the use of single-stranded DNA aptamers in the form of RCA-p as a bacteriostatic to Salmonellain vitro. Materials and Methods: Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Enteritidis isolates were subjected to the action of anti-ST and anti-SE DNA aptamers in the form of RCA-p. Each isolate was grown on MacConkey and Luria-Bertani agar media separately in different concentrations in the presence or absence of the cognate RCA-p. Results: The anti-Salmonella species DNA aptamer-based RCA-p were capable of reducing bacterial growth to significant levels in vitro. Conclusion: We describe a potential solution for the rapidly developing drug resistance of several bacterial species. Our findings suggested that the use of non-toxic, non-immunogenic, and low-cost DNA aptamers targeting Salmonella in the form of RCA-p could inhibit the bacterial growth rate. Unlike polymerase chain reaction, RCA yields tandem repeats of single-stranded DNA at isothermal conditions, which would increase the probability of receptor-ligand clustering and increase affinity. Furthermore, as our RCA template was bivalent with two DNA aptamer sequences, we could target multiple sites or antigens on a bacterial cell.

Abstract
Salmonella should be absence in pharmaceutical preparations and foods according to regulations in many countries. Up to now, rapidly detecting Salmonella at 1 CFU·[10 g (mL) ]-1 in pharmaceutical preparation or 1 CFU·[25 g (mL) ]-1 in food samples is still a challenge. Herein, we present an aptamer-based surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method for rapidly detecting Salmonella Enteritidis by using a handheld Raman instrument. The aptamer could specifically recognize S. Enteritidis, and 4-MBA self-assembled on the surface of Au@Ag NPs was used as a Raman reporter molecule. The method was validated to be high specific with no interference from other five pathogenic bacteria. It could identify S. Enteritidis contaminant at ∼ 1 CFU·(10 g)-1 spiked level in a real sample (Wenxin granule, a botanical drug) after 6 h of enrichment. The detection time was much shorter than that of the methods (more than 54 ∼ 96 h) in the standards of pharmaceutical preparations and foods. In addition, the method could quantitatively determinate S. Enteritidis with satisfactory results. The SERS peak intensities of 4-MBA at 1072 cm-1 showed a good linear correlation (R2 = 0.9873) with the logarithms of S. Enteritidis concentrations ranging from 4.17 × 102 to 1.39 × 107 CFU·mL-1. T-test result (P = 0.425) revealed that there was no significant difference between the determination results obtained by the SERS method and the plate counting method. Therefore, the study indicated that the method was practical and reliable, and it could be a promising alternative for the on-site detection of S. Enteritidis.

Abstract
Nanomedicine and aptamer have excellent potential in giving play to passive and active targeting respectively, which are considered to be effective strategies in the retro-ocular drug delivery system. The presence of closely adjoined tissue structures in the eye makes it difficult to administer the drug in the posterior segment of the eye. The application of nanomedicine could represent a new avenue for the treatment, since it could improve penetration, achieve targeted release, and improve bioavailability. Additionally, a novel type of targeted molecule aptamer with identical objective was proposed. As an emerging molecule, aptamer shows the advantages of penetration, non-toxicity, and high biocompatibility, which make it suitable for ocular drug administration. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the recent studies on the effectiveness of nanoparticles as a drug delivery to the posterior segment of the eye. This paper also creatively looks forward to the possibility of the combined application of nanocarriers and aptamers as a new method of targeted drug delivery system in the field of post-ophthalmic therapy.

Abstract
Rapid measurement of waterborne bacterial viability is crucial for ensuring the safety of public health. Herein, we proposed a colorimetric assay for rapid measurement of waterborne bacterial viability based on a difunctional gold nanoprobe (dGNP). This versatile dGNP is composed of bacteria recognizing parts and signal indicating parts, and can generate color signals while recognizing bacterial suspensions of different viabilities. This dGNP-based colorimetric assay has a fast response and can be accomplished within 10 min. Moreover, the proposed colorimetric method is able to measure bacterial viability between 0% and 100%. The method can also measure the viability of other bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Shewanella oneidensis, and Escherichia coli O157H7. Furthermore, the proposed method has acceptable recovery (95.5–104.5%) in measuring bacteria-spiked real samples. This study offers a simple and effective method for the rapid measurement of bacterial viability and therefore should have application potential in medical diagnosis, food safety, and environmental monitoring. A colorimetric method is proposed to measure waterborne bacterial viability by using a difunctional gold nanoprobe that can generate color signals while recognizing bacterial suspensions of different viabilities.![]()

Abstract
Salmonella is one of the most prevalent causing agents of food- and water-borne illnesses, posing an ongoing public health threat. These food-poisoning bacteria contaminate the resources at different stages such as production, aggregation, processing, distribution, as well as marketing. According to the high incidence of salmonellosis, effective strategies for early-stage detection are required at the highest priority. Since traditional culture-dependent methods and polymerase chain reaction are labor-intensive and time-taking, identification of early and accurate detection of Salmonella in food and water samples can prevent significant health economic burden and lessen the costs. The immense potentiality of biosensors in diagnosis, such as simplicity in operation, the ability of multiplex analysis, high sensitivity, and specificity, have driven research in the evolution of nanotechnology, innovating newer biosensors. Carbon nanomaterials enhance the detection sensitivity of biosensors while obtaining low levels of detection limits due to their possibility to immobilize huge amounts of bioreceptor units at insignificant volume. Moreover, conjugation and functionalization of carbon nanomaterials with metallic nanoparticles or organic molecules enables surface functional groups. According to these remarkable properties, carbon nanomaterials are widely exploited in the development of novel biosensors. To be specific, carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene and fullerenes function as transducers in the analyte recognition process or surface immobilizers for biomolecules. Herein the potential application of carbon nanomaterials in the development of novel Salmonella biosensors platforms is reviewed comprehensively. In addition, the current problems and critical analyses of the future perspectives of Salmonella biosensors are discussed.

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
Detection of pathogenic bacteria is of vital significance for combating and preventing infectious diseases. In this work, we developed a multivalent aptamer probe (Multi-VAP)-based trigging isothermal circular amplification (TICA) for rapidly and ultrasensitively detecting Salmonella. In this sensing system, the fluorescence of Multi-VAP was strongly quenched via the dual effect of FRET. Introduction of Salmonella to the system forced the configuration change of Multi-VAP, leading to the occurrence of a TICA responsible for tuning all of the fluorescence-quenched Multi-VAP into a complete restoration state. This prominent feature allows the reasonable combination of a strong background restraint and great target signal amplification into one sensing system, which in turn benefits the improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio to ensure that the system has an ultrahigh sensitivity. Combined with the employment of an aptamer to ensure that it has excellent specificity, the Salmonella can be quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed even from human serum. The total processing merely requires sample addition and incubation. The turnaround time of the complete analysis from "sample-to-result" was within 30 min. With the method to decrease the time to detect and simplify the process to operate, the assay was successfully used as a sensing platform for specific detection of as few as 9 CFU/mL Salmonella.

Abstract
Accurate and rapid quantification of foodborne pathogens is of great significance for food safety and human health. In this work, we have successfully constructed a fluorescence quenching collapsar probe (FQCP) on the basis of a conventional aptamer-encoded molecular beacon (AEMB) and applied it for the detection of Salmonella. In structure, the FQCP is assembled by AEMBs in fours via specific streptavidin and biotin binding. Such a simple format makes the FQCP cofunctionalized with short- and long-range fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) effects, thereby leading to a significantly suppressed inherent background fluorescence that is much lower than that of the conventional AEMB. Moreover, the FQCP exhibits superior biostability because of the blocking of its 3' terminal. The reaction kinetics of the FQCP for Salmonella recognition is obviously improved since the probe designed with four binding sites increases the probability to react with Salmonella. As a result, the FQCP-based sensing platform can rapidly output the target detection signal within 30 min associated with a greatly improved signal-to-noise ratio up to 32.4. The system was also demonstrated with a well antimatrix effect for ultrasensitive detection of Salmonella from tap water, milk, red bull, green tea, orange juice, and Coca-Cola. Our study provides insights into the facile tailoring of functional nucleic acids for amplified and mix-to-answer detection of foodborne pathogens, which could become a powerful analytical tool for straightforward sensing of pathogens in the fields of food safety analysis, clinical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring.

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
Aptamers have gained significant attention as the molecular recognition element to replace antibodies in sensor development and target delivery. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that unlike the wide application of polyvalent antibodies, existing researches on the combined use of heterologous aptamers with similar recognition affinity and specificity for target detection were sporadic. Herein, first, the wide existence of polyaptamer for bacteria was revealed through the summary of existing literature. Furthermore, based on the establishment of a sensitive aptamer cocktail/graphene oxide fluorescence resonance energy transfer polyaptasensor with a detection limit as low as 10 CFU/ml, the systemic characterization of aptamer cocktails in bacterial detection was carried out by taking E. coli, Vi. parahemolyticus, S. typhimurium, and C. sakazakii as the assay targets. It was turned out that the polyaptasensors for C. sakazakii and S. typhimurium owned prevalence in the broader concentration range of target bacteria. While the polyaptasensors for E. coli and V. parahemolyticus outperformed monoaptasensor mainly in the lower concentration of target bacteria. The linear relationships between fluorescence recovery and the concentration of bacteria were also discussed. The different characteristics of the bacterial cellular membrane, including the binding affinity and the robustness to variation, are analyzed to be the main reason for the diverse detection performance of aptasensors. The study here enhances a sensor detection strategy with super sensitivity. More importantly, this systemic study on the aptamer cocktail in reference to antibodies will advance the in-depth understanding and rational design of aptamer based biological recognition, detection, and targeting.

Abstract
Salmonella is a foodborne pathogen that has contributed to numerous food safety accidents worldwide, making it necessary to detect contamination at an early stage. A pair of specific primers based on the invA gene of Salmonella was designed for PCR. Target double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) from PCR was purified and denatured at high temperature to obtain target single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). Two carboxyfluorescein-labeled hairpin probes (H1-FAM and H2-FAM) were designed with complementary portions to the ssDNA sequence so that binding could trigger H1-FAM and H2-FAM hybridization chain reaction (HCR) to produce a long dsDNA complex. In this study, graphene oxide (GO) was used in the development of a homogeneous fluorescence detection platform for Salmonella. Using this HCR-GO assay platform, Salmonella detection was completed in 3.5 h. Salmonella was reliably and specifically detected with a limit of detection (LOD) of 4.2 × 101 cfu/mL in pure culture. Moreover, this new HCR-GO assay platform was successfully applied to the detection of Salmonella in artificially contaminated milk with a LOD of 4.2 × 102 cfu/mL.

Abstract
Authentication, detection and quantification of ingredients, and adulterants in food, meat, and meat products are of high importance these days. The conventional techniques for the detection of meat species based on lipid, protein and DNA biomarkers are facing challenges due to the poor selectivity, sensitivity and unsuitability for processed food products or complex food matrices. On the other hand, DNA based molecular techniques and nanoparticle based DNA biosensing strategies are gathering huge attention from the scientific communities, researchers and are considered as one of the best alternatives to the conventional strategies. Though nucleic acid based molecular techniques such as PCR and DNA sequencing are getting greater successes in species detection, they are still facing problems from its point-of-care applications. In this context, nanoparticle based DNA biosensors have gathered successes in some extent but not to a satisfactory stage to mark with. In recent years, many articles have been published in the area of progressive nucleic acid-based technologies, however there are very few review articles on DNA nanobiosensors in food science and technology. In this review, we present the fundamentals of DNA based molecular techniques such as PCR, DNA sequencing and their applications in food science. Moreover, the in-depth discussions of different DNA biosensing strategies or more specifically electrochemical and optical DNA nanobiosensors are presented. In addition, the significance of DNA nanobiosensors over other advanced detection technologies is discussed, focusing on the deficiencies, advantages as well as current challenges to ameliorate with the direction for future development.

Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and most of the cancer-related deaths result from metastasis. As expressed on the surface of various cancer cell types, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) has been shown to play a role in the attachment, invasion and migration of tumor cells. In this study, DNA aptamers were generated against ICAM-1 by cell-SELEX and protein SELEX method using ICAM-1(+) CHO-ICAM-1 cells and ICAM-1 protein, respectively. The pools obtained at the end of the 10th round of both SELEX were sequenced and the most enriched sequences were characterized for their binding behaviors and affinities to ICAM-1(+) CHO-ICAM-1 and ICAM-1(-) MIA PaCa-2 cells. Moreover, the inhibition abilities of sequences on migration and invasion were measured. The seven aptamer sequences were obtained selectively binding to CHO-ICAM-1 cells with Kd values in the ranging from 13.8 to 47.1 nM. Four of these aptamers showed inhibition in both migration and invasion of CHO-ICAM-1 cells at least 61%. All these results suggested that these aptamers have potential to detect specifically ICAM-1 expressing tumor cells and inhibit migration and invasion by blocking ICAM-1 related interactions of circulating tumor cells.

Abstract
We report the first demonstration of the efficient bacteria targeting properties of DNA-based polymeric micelles with high-density DNA corona. Nanoscale polymer micelles derived from DNA-b-polystyrene (DNA-b-PS) efficiently selected most tested Gram-positive strains over Gram-negative strains; single-strand DNAs were 20-fold less selective. We demonstrate that these targeting properties were derived from the interaction between densely packed DNA strands of the micelle corona and the peptidoglycan layers of Gram-positive bacteria. DNA-b-PS micelles incorporating magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) can efficiently capture and concentrate Gram-positive bacteria suggesting the simple applications of these DNA block copolymer micelles for concentrating bacteria. Adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G)-rich nanostructures were fabricated, respectively, for investigating the effect of sequence on Gram-selective bacteria targeting. T-rich micelles showed the most efficient targeting properties. The targeting properties of these DNA nanostructures toward Gram-positive bacteria may have applications as a targeted therapeutic delivery system.

Controllable design of a nano-bio aptasensing interface based on tetrahedral framework nucleic acids in an integrated microfluidic platform. Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 176:112943.

Abstract
The limited reaction time and sample volume in the confined space of microfluidic devices give considerable importance to the development of more effective biosensing interfaces. Herein, the self-assembling of tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (FNAs) with controllable size on the interface of the microfluidic microchannels is studied. Compared with macroscopic turbulence control on traditional micro-structured microfluidic surface, the novel FNA-engineered microfluidic interface successfully constructs a 3D reaction space at nanoscale by raising DNA probes away from the surface. This FNA interface dramatically improves the reaction kinetics during molecular recognition due to extremely ordered orientation, configuration and density of DNA probes on the surface. Finally, the FNA-engineered interface is applied in a novel multi-functional microfluidic platform, towards a "one-stop" assay of Escherichia coli O157: H7 (E. coli O157: H7), integrating capture, release, enrichment, cell culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). With the FNA-aptamer probe, we achieved an enhanced bacterial detecting efficiency (10 CFU/mL) plus excellent selectivity and precision. The appicability was strongly demonstrated when the biosensor was successfully applied in real samples, including the analysis of antibiotic susceptibility and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of E. coli O157: H7 among different antibiotics. The application of FNA interface will open a wide avenue for the development of microfluidic biosensors for other pathogenic microorganisms or circulating tumor cells (CTC) simply by changing the aptamers.

Abstract
In the post-genomic era, molecular treatments and diagnostics have been envisioned as powerful techniques to tackle the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis. Among the molecular approaches, aptamers and CRISPR-Cas have gained support due to their practicality, sensibility, and flexibility to interact with a variety of extra- and intracellular targets. Those characteristics enabled the development of quick and onsite diagnostic tools as well as alternative treatments for pan-resistant bacterial infections. Even with such potential, more studies are necessary to pave the way for their successful use against AMR. In this review, we highlight those two robust techniques and encourage researchers to refine them toward AMR. Also, we describe how aptamers and CRISPR-Cas can work together with the current diagnostic and treatment toolbox.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria pose a great threat to human health. Although a significant progress has been obtained in the diagnosis and prevention of infectious diseases, it still remains challenging to develop rapid and cost-effective detection approaches and overcome the side effects of therapeutic agents and pathogen resistance. Functional nucleic acids (FNAs), especially the most widely used aptamers and DNAzymes, hold the advantages of high stability and flexible design, which make them ideal molecular recognition tools for bacteria and viruses, as well as potential therapeutic drugs for infectious diseases. This review summarizes important advances in the selection and detection of bacterial- and virus-associated FNAs, along with their potential prevention ability of infectious disease in recent years. Finally, the challenges and future development directions are concluded.

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 direct-readout photoelectrochemical (PEC) lab-on-paper device based on coupled an electricity generating system and paper supercapacitors was established for highly sensitive detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Concretely, CdSe quantum dots (QDs) decorated ZnO networks assembled sensing surface provided outstanding photoelectric properties, on which glucose oxidase (GOx) labeled aptamer was subsequently immobilized via the hybridization chain reaction. With analytes present, specific recognition was stimulated by aptamer, resulting in labeled GOx released. Such released GOx could flow to electrochemical cell to conduct electrochemical redox reactions, which could effectively produce electricity that was stored by capacitor I. Sequentially, photoactive material produced an outstanding voltage due to the decrease of steric hindrance on the sensing interface, which was utilized for charging an external capacitor II. The two instantaneous current was acquired along with the discharge of capacitor I and II by digital multimeter (DMM) readout, respectively. The summational current values performed an increment in pace with the addition of target ATP concentration with the dynamic working range from 10 nM to 3 μM and a detection limit of 6.3 nM attained. Significantly, the signal amplified strategy utilizing as-generated electricity from electrochemical redox reactions were isolated from the photoelectrodes, which was beneficial for amplifying the signal response in the PEC matrices and the development of more efficient signal performance.

Abstract
Aptamers have gained an increasing role as the molecular recognition element (MRE) in diagnostic assay development, since their first conception thirty years ago. The process to screen for nucleic acid-based binding elements (aptamers) was first described in 1990 by the Gold Laboratory. In the last three decades, many aptamers have been identified for a wide array of targets. In particular, the number of reports on investigating single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) aptamer applications in biosensing and diagnostic platforms have increased significantly in recent years. This review article summarizes the recent (2015 to 2020) progress of ssDNA aptamer research on bacteria, proteins, and lipids of bacterial origins that have implications for human infections. The basic process of aptamer selection, the principles of aptamer-based biosensors, and future perspectives will also be discussed.

Abstract
With the passage of time and more advanced societies, there is a greater emergence and incidence of disease and necessity for improved treatments. In this respect, nowadays, aptamers, with their better efficiency at diagnosing and treating diseases than antibodies, are at the center of attention. Here, in this review, we first investigate aptamer function in various fields (such as the detection and remedy of pathogens, modification of nanoparticles, antibiotic delivery and gene delivery). Then, we present aptamer-conjugated nanocomplexes as the main and efficient factor in gene delivery. Finally, we focus on the targeted co-delivery of genes and drugs by nanocomplexes, as a new exciting approach for cancer treatment in the decades ahead to meet our growing societal needs.

Abstract
A capture probe complex containing a specific Salmonella enteritidis (S. enteritidis) aptamer and partly hybridized signal trigger sequence was designed with the ability to directly detect viable S. enteritidis. In the presence of the target S. enteritidis, single-stranded trigger sequences were liberated and in turn reacted with hairpins I, II, and III to initiate the triple strand migration reaction; this in turn produced numerous hairpin I·II·III complexes with scaffolds of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) and replaced the trigger sequence which initiated the next cycle of triple migration reaction. Cyclically, the reuse of the trigger sequences and the successive, cascading production of scaffolds of CuNPs achieved the synthesis of highly fluorescent CuNPs, thus providing significantly enhanced fluorescent signals to achieve ultrasensitive detection of live S. enteritidis as low as 25 CFU/mL with a linear range of detection from 50 to 104 CFU/mL with an emission wavelength at 590 nm. By integrating the triple cascade strand migration amplification with recyclable trigger sequences, aptamer-based target recognition, and self-protection mediated by CuNPs hairpin scaffolds, this is the first report on a non-labeled, non-enzymatic, modification-free, and DNA extraction-free ultrasensitive fluorescent biosensor for the direct detection of live Salmonella, which is distinguished from dead Salmonella. It also provides a new strategy to detect viable bacteria by applying the CuNPs, thus extending the application of metal nanoparticles. Graphical abstract.

Usage of natural chitosan membrane obtained from insect corneal lenses as a drug carrier and its potential for point of care tests. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING.

Abstract
Chitosan is an indispensable biopolymer for use as a drug carrier thanks to its non-toxic, biodegradable, biocompatible, antimicrobial, and anti-oxidative nature. In previous studies, chitosan was first dissolved into weak acids and formed into gel, then used for carrying pharmaceutically active compounds such as nanoparticles, capsules, composites, and films. Using the produced chitosan gel after dissolving it in weak acids has advantages, such as ease of processing for loading the required amount of active substance and making the desired shape and size. However, dissolved chitosan loses some of its natural properties such as fibrous structure, crystallinity, and thermal stability. In this study, for the first time, three-dimensional chitosan lenses obtained from an insect's (Tabanus bovinus) compound eyes, with the original shape intact, were tested as a drug carrier. A model drug, quercetin, was loaded into chitosan membrane, and its release profile was examined. Also, a point-of-care test was conducted for both chitin and chitosan membranes. Chitin and chitosan membranes obtained from insect corneal lenses were characterized by using FTIR, TGA, elemental analysis, and surface wettability analysis as well as stereo, binocular, and scanning electron microscopies. It was observed that chitosan membrane could be used as a drug carrier material. Both chitin and chitosan membranes will be improved for lateral flow assay, and these membranes can be tested for other bioengineering applications in further studies.

Abstract
Rapid, sensitive, and reliable pathogen detection is growing in importance in human health and safety. In this work, we report a stochastic DNA dual-walker-based colorimetric biosensor for bacterial detection. In the presence of target bacteria, two kinds of released multiple walking strands are allowed for continuous walking on the Au nanoparticle (AuNP)-based 3D track, resulting in destabilized aggregation of AuNP-based probes. The induced color change from red to blue can serve as an analytical signal for colorimetric detection of target bacteria. We demonstrated that this mothed enables sensitive and specific bacterial detection within 15 min due to its ultrafast reaction kinetics and sensitive color change, showing a linear response ranging from 100 to 105 CFU/mL with a limit of detection of 1 CFU/mL. Moreover, we also realized analysis of practical samples using this colorimetric biosensor. Given its features of rapid, sensitive, specific, and reliable analysis, our stochastic dual-walker-based colorimetric biosensor shows much promise in point-of-care testing for bacteria detection.
