Abstract
The inappropriate employment of antibiotics across diverse industries has engendered profound apprehensions concerning their cumulative presence within human bodies and food commodities. Consequently, many nations have instituted stringent measures limiting the admissible quantities of antibiotics in food items. Nonetheless, conventional techniques employed for antibiotic detection prove protracted and laborious, prompting a dire necessity for facile, expeditious, and uncomplicated detection methodologies. In this regard, aptamer-based fluorescent DNA biosensors (AFBs) have emerged as a sanguine panacea to surmount the limitations of traditional detection modalities. These ingenious biosensors harness the binding prowess of aptamers, singular strands of DNA/RNA, to selectively adhere to specific target antibiotics. Notably, the AFBs demonstrate unparalleled selectivity, affinity, and sensitivity in detecting antibiotics. This comprehensive review meticulously expounds upon the strides achieved in AFBs for antibiotic detection, particularly emphasizing the labeling modality and the innovative free-label approach. It also elucidates the design principles behind a diverse array of AFBs. Additionally, a succinct survey of signal amplification strategies deployed within these biosensors is provided. The central objective of this review is to apprise researchers from diverse disciplines of the contemporary trends in AFBs for antibiotic detection. By doing so, it aspires to instigate a concerted endeavor toward the development of heightened sensitivity and pioneering AFBs, thereby contributing to the perpetual advancement of antibiotic detection methodologies.

Abstract
The detection and monitoring of aminoglycoside antibiotics (AGAs) have become of utmost importance due to their widespread use in human and animal therapy, as well as the associated risks of exposure, toxicity, and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. In this study, we successfully synthesized casein hydrolysate peptides-functionalized silver nanoparticles (CHPs@AgNPs) and employed them as a novel colorimetric analytical platform to demonstrate remarkable specificity and sensitivity toward AGAs. The colorimetric and spectral response of the CHPs@AgNPs was observed at 405 and 520 nm, showing a linear correlation with the concentration of streptomycin, a representative AGA. The color changes from yellow to orange provided a visual indication of the analyte concentration, enabling quantitative determination for real-world samples. The AgNP assay exhibited excellent sensitivity with dynamic ranges of approximately 200-650 and 100-700 nM for streptomycin-spiked tap water and dairy whey with limits of detection found to be ∼98 and 56 nM, respectively. The mechanism behind the selective aggregation of CHPs@AgNPs in the presence of AGAs involves the amine groups of the target analytes acting as molecular bridges for electrostatic coupling with hydroxyl or carboxyl functionalities of adjacent NPs, driving the formation of stable NP aggregates. The developed assay offers several advantages, making it suitable for various practical applications. It is characterized by its simplicity, rapidity, specificity, sensitivity, and cost-effectiveness. These unique features make the method a promising tool for monitoring water quality, ensuring food safety, and dealing with emergent issues of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
Antibiotics are widely used as bacteriostatic or bactericidal agents against various microbial infections in humans and animals. The excessive use of antibiotics has led to an accumulation of their residues in food products, which ultimately poses a threat to human health. In light of the shortcomings of conventional methods for antibiotic detection (primarily cost, proficiency, and time-consuming procedures), the development of robust, accurate, on-site, and sensitive technologies for antibiotic detection in foodstuffs is important. Nanomaterials with amazing optical properties are promising materials for developing the next generation of fluorescent sensors. In this article, advances in detecting antibiotics in food products are discussed with respect to their sensing applications, with a focus on fluorescent nanomaterials such as metallic nanoparticles, upconversion nanoparticles, quantum dots, carbon-based nanomaterials, and metal-organic frameworks. Furthermore, their performance is evaluated to promote the continuation of technical advances.

Abstract
With the unpredictable risks on human health and ecological safety, tobramycin (TOB) as an extensively applied antibiotic has embraced global concern. Herein, a label-free fluorescent aptasensor was developed that opened up an innovative sensing strategy for monitoring trace TOB levels. Based on the rolling circle amplification (RCA) process, a giant DNA building was established by the catalytic action of T4 DNA ligase and Phi 29 DNA polymerase with the cooperation of the specific aptamer as a primer skeleton. By having the role of signal amplifier template, the RCA product with the G-quadruplex sequence duplications was decorated by a high number of the thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescent dyes. The aptasensor with good selectivity toward TOB achieved a detection limit as low as 150 pM. Thanks to its accurate target quantification, ease of operation, economic manufacture, as well as high potency for real-time and point-of-care testing, the represented aptasensor is superb for clinical application and food safety control.

Abstract
Biosensors capable of onsite and continuous detection of environmental and food pollutants and biomarkers are highly desired, but only a few sensing platforms meet the "2-SAR" requirements (sensitivity, specificity, affordability, automation, rapidity, and reusability). A fiber optic evanescent wave (FOEW) sensor is an attractive type of portable device that has the advantages of high sensitivity, low cost, good reusability, and long-term stability. By utilizing functional nucleic acids (FNAs) such as aptamers, DNAzymes, and rational designed nucleic acid probes as specific recognition ligands, the FOEW sensor has been demonstrated to be a general sensing platform for the onsite and continuous detection of various targets ranging from small molecules and heavy metal ions to proteins, nucleic acids, and pathogens. In this review, we cover the progress of the fluorescent FNA-based FOEW biosensor since its first report in 1995. We focus on the chemical modification of the optical fiber and the sensing mechanisms for the five above-mentioned types of targets. The challenges and prospects on the isolation of high-quality aptamers, reagent-free detection, long-term stability under application conditions, and high throughput are also included in this review to highlight the future trends for the development of FOEW biosensors capable of onsite and continuous detection.

Abstract
In this work, a label-free fluorescent aptasensor based on the inner filter effect (IFE) between gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) was developed for the detection of kanamycin in complex samples. AuNPs are capable of functioning as the fluorescence absorber of GOQDs because of the complementary overlap between their absorption spectra and the emission spectra of GOQDs. AuNPs can effectively quench the fluorescence of GOQDs via the IFE and modulate it with their aggregation state. In the presence of kanamycin, the aptamer is released from the surface of AuNPs, leading to their salt-induced aggregation and the fluorescence recovery of GOQDs. Under the optimum conditions, the fluorescence intensity of GOQDs was linearly proportional to the concentration of kanamycin over the range from 5 to 600 nM, with a detection limit of 3.6 nM. Moreover, the fluorescent aptasensor was successfully applied for kanamycin detection in complex samples (milk, honey and serum), which might hold great promise for kanamycin detection in food safety control and clinical research.

Abstract
Antibiotic residues in breast milk can have an impact on the intestinal flora and health of babies. Amoxicillin, as one of the most used antibiotics, affects the abundance of some intestinal bacteria. In this study, we developed a convenient and rapid process that used a combination of colorimetric methods and artificial intelligence image preprocessing, and back propagation-artificial neural network (BP-ANN) analysis to detect amoxicillin in breast milk. The colorimetric method derived from the reaction of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was coupled to aptamers (ssDNA) with different concentrations of amoxicillin to produce different color results. The color image was captured by a portable image acquisition device, and image preprocessing was implemented in three steps: segmentation, filtering, and cropping. We decided on a range of detection from 0 µM to 3.9 µM based on the physiological concentration of amoxicillin in breast milk and the detection effect. The segmentation and filtering steps were conducted by Hough circle detection and Gaussian filtering, respectively. The segmented results were analyzed by linear regression and BP-ANN, and good linear correlations between the colorimetric image value and concentration of target amoxicillin were obtained. The R2 and MSE of the training set were 0.9551 and 0.0696, respectively, and those of the test set were 0.9276 and 0.1142, respectively. In prepared breast milk sample detection, the recoveries were 111.00%, 98.00%, and 100.20%, and RSDs were 6.42%, 4.27%, and 1.11%. The result suggests that the colorimetric process combined with artificial intelligence image preprocessing and BP-ANN provides an accurate, rapid, and convenient way to achieve the detection of amoxicillin in breast milk.

Abstract
Herein, a novel electrochemical aptasensor using a broad-spectrum aptamer as a biorecognition element was constructed based on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) for simultaneous detection of aminoglycoside antibiotics (AAs). The ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) was firstly modified on 2D Ti3C2 MXene. The addition of OMC not only effectively improved the stability of the aptasensor, but also prevented the stacking of Ti3C2 sheets, which formed a good current passage for signal amplification. The prepared OMC@Ti3C2 MXene functioned as a nanocarrier to accommodate considerable aptamers. In the presence of AAs, the transport of electron charge on SPCE surface was influenced by the bio-chemical reactions of the aptamer and AAs, generating a significant decline in the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) signals. The proposed aptasensor presented a wide linear range and the detection limit was 3.51 nM. Moreover, the aptasensor, with satisfactory stability, reproducibility and specificity, was successfully employed to detect the multi-residuals of AAs in milk. This work provided a novel strategy for monitoring AAs in milk.

Evanescent Wave Optical-Fiber Aptasensor for Rapid Detection of Zearalenone in Corn with Unprecedented Sensitivity. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12070438.

Abstract
Zearalenone (ZEN) is a common mycotoxin pollutant found in agricultural products. Aptamers are attractive recognition biomolecules for the development of mycotoxin biosensors. Even though numerous aptasensors have been reported for the detection of ZEN in recent years, many of them suffer from problems including low sensitivity, low specificity, tedious experimental steps, high-cost, and difficulty of automation. We report here the first evanescent wave optical-fiber aptasensor for the detection of ZEN with unprecedented sensitivity, high specificity, low cost, and easy of automation. In our aptasensor, a 40-nt ZEN-specific aptamer (8Z31) is covalently immobilized on the fiber. The 17-nt fluorophore Cy5.5-labeled complementary DNA strand and ZEN competitively bind with the aptamer immobilized on the fiber, enabling the signal-off fluorescent detection of ZEN. The coating of Tween 80 enhanced both the sensitivity and the reproducibility of the aptasensor. The sensor was able to detect ZEN spiked-in the corn flour extract with a semilog linear detection range of 10 pM-10 nM and a limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) of 18.4 ± 4.0 pM (equivalent to 29.3 ± 6.4 ng/kg). The LOD is more than 1000-fold lower than the maximum ZEN residue limits set by China (60 μg/kg) and EU (20 μg/kg). The sensor also has extremely high specificity and showed negligible cross-reactivity to other common mycotoxins. In addition, the sensor was able to be regenerated for 28 times, further decreasing its cost. Our sensor holds great potential for practical applications according to its multiple compelling features.

Abstract
Monitoring the blood concentration of banoxantrone (AQ4N) is important to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and side effects of this new anticancer prodrug during its clinical applications. Herein, we report a fluorescence method for AQ4N detection through the modulation of the molecule-like photoinduced electron transfer (PET) behavior of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs). AQ4N can electrostatically bind to the surface of carboxylated chitosan (CC) and dithiothreitol (DTT) co-stabilized AuNCs and quench their fluorescence via a Coulomb interaction-accelerated PET process. Under optimized experimental conditions, the linear range of AQ4N is from 25 to 200 nM and the limit of detection is as low as 5 nM. In addition, this assay is confirmed to be reliable based on its successful use in AQ4N determination in mouse plasma samples. This work offers an effective strategy for AQ4N sensing based on fluorescent AuNCs and widens the application of AuNCs in clinical diagnosis and pharmaceutical analysis.

Graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, MXenes, and other 2D materials (metal oxides and degenerate semiconductors) have unique optical properties and play a unique role in the detection of different biomolecules. Through the modification of 2D materials, optical biosensor has the advantages that traditional sensors (such as electrical sensing) do not have, and the sensitivity and detection limit are greatly improved. Here, optical biosensors based on different 2D materials are reviewed. First, various detection methods of biomolecules, including surface plasmon resonance (SPR), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and evanescent wave and properties, preparation and integration strategies of 2D material, are introduced in detail. Second, various biosensors based on 2D materials are summarized. Furthermore, the applications of these optical biosensors in biological imaging, food safety, pollution prevention/control, and biological medicine are discussed. Finally, the future development of optical biosensors is prospected. It is believed that with their in-depth research in the laboratory, optical biosensors will gradually become commercialized and improve people's quality of life in many aspects.

A sandwich-based evanescent wave fluorescent biosensor for simple, real-time exosome detection †. Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 200:113902.

Abstract
Exosomes are regarded as a promising biomarker for the noninvasive diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The value of exosomes for medical research has promoted the search for a fast, efficient, and sensitive detection method. This study reported a sandwich-based evanescent wave fluorescent biosensor (S-EWFB) for exosome detection. A two-step strategy was implemented to take advantages of the simple binding of fluorescent probes with exosomes via the hydrophobic interaction between the cholesteryl and phospholipid bilayer membrane, as well as real-time detection on an evanescent wave liquid-solid interface based on CD63 aptamer-specific capture to form an exosome@fluorescence probe/aptamer sandwich structure. The one-to-many connection between exosomes and signal molecules and the aptamer-modified evanescent wave optical fiber detection platform reduced the detection limit of exosomes to 7.66 particles/mL, with a linear range of 47.5-4.75 × 106 particles/mL. The entire detection process was simple, rapid, and real-time and lasted about 1 h while requiring no separation and purification. Additionally, this platform showed excellent surface regeneration capability and exhibited good performance during the analysis of tumor and non-tumor-derived exosomes.

Abstract
Lanthanide-functionalized porous organic materials have been the promising candidates in the chemical and biological sensing. Considering the superior thermal and solvent stability of covalent organic frameworks (COFs), the development of lanthanide ions-functionalized COFs based sensing platform is meaningful, while remains to be a challenge. In this work, a new imine-linked COF which provides suitable coordination sites for Tb3+ was constructed via the Schiff base reaction between P-phenylenediamine (Pda) and 2,6-Diformylpyridine (Dfp). Benefiting from its high signal-to-noise, the COF@Tb shows excellent ability to determinate ciprofloxacin (CIP) with a detection limit of 3.01 nM. The measurement can maintain good stability in the presence of potential interference or in actual sample. Being washed with ethanol after each measurement, COF@Tb can be recycled for five times. This work provides a novel alternative strategy for efficient construction of lanthanide-grafted COFs and may promote the development of porous organic materials based chemical sensing.

Abstract
The simultaneous determination of multiple analytes has been an urgent demand in screening of antibiotic residues in food products of animal origin due to its higher analysis efficiency. Five aminoglycoside antibiotics (AGAs) have been monitored in milk, including gentamicin (GEN), kanamycin (KAN), neomycin (NEO), and streptomycin/dihydrostreptomycin (STR/diSTR). A chemiluminescence microarray immunoassay (CLMIA) based on nitrocellulose membrane had been developed for the detection of multiple AGAs, which the LODs for STR, KAN, NEO, and GEN were 4.74 ng/mL, 4.97 ng/mL, 2.99 ng/mL, and 4.42 ng/mL respectively. To improve the sensitivity of immunoassay, single-well carbon tubes (SWCNTs) were utilized as solid support for loading horseradish peroxidase-labelled goat anti-mouse antibody to obtain the multi-enzyme particles. After the optimization of usage of multi-enzyme particles and antibodies, the enhanced CLMIA was established and evaluated. The LODs were 1.25 ng/mL for STR, 0.64 ng/mL for KAN, 0.38 ng/mL for GEN, and 0.39 ng/mL for NEO, which was improved by threefold, sevenfold, 11-fold, and sevenfold compared with the conventional CLMIA developed. These methods presented higher specificity and repeatability. Finally, the enhanced CLMIA based on CNT-assisted multi-enzyme particles was utilized to analyze twenty-five milk samples from local market and dairy farm, which all the results were below the LOD. The enhanced CLMIA showed the great application potential for the detection of multiple targets simultaneously and provided efficient tool for the screening of pollutants in food.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant global social and economic disruption. The highly transmissive nature of the disease makes rapid and reliable detection critically important. Point-of-care (POC) tests involve performing diagnostic tests outside of a laboratory that produce a rapid and reliable result. It therefore allows the diagnostics of diseases at or near the patient site. Paper-based POC tests have been gaining interest in recent years as they allow rapid, low-cost detection without the need for external instruments. In this review, we focus on the development of paper-based POC devices for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. The review first introduces the principles of detection methods that are available to paper-based devices. It then summarizes the state-of-the-art paper devices and their analytical performances. The advantages and drawbacks among methods are also discussed. Finally, limitations of the existing devices are discussed, and prospects are given with the hope to identify research opportunities and directions in the field. We hope this review will be helpful for researchers to develop a clinically useful and economically efficient paper-based platform that can be used for rapid, accurate on-site diagnosis to aid in identifying acute infections and eventually contain the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
There exists an increasing interest in monitoring low concentrations of biochemical species, as they allow the early-stage detection of illnesses or the monitoring of the environment quality. Thus, both companies and research groups are focused on the development of accurate, fast and highly sensitive biosensors. Optical fiber sensors have been widely employed for these purposes because they provide several advantages for their use in point-of-care and real-time applications. In particular, this review is focused on optical fiber biosensors based on luminescence and absorption. Apart from the key parameters that determine the performance of a sensor (limit of detection, sensibility, cross-sensibility, etc.), other features are analyzed, such as the optical fiber dimensions, the sensing set ups and the fiber functionalization. The aim of this review is to have a comprehensive insight of the different aspects that must be taken into account when working with this kind of sensors.

Abstract
With the recent SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, the importance of rapid and direct detection of respiratory disease viruses has been well recognized. The detection of these viruses with novel technologies is vital in timely prevention and treatment strategies for epidemics and pandemics. Respiratory viruses can be detected from saliva, swab samples, nasal fluid, and blood, and collected samples can be analyzed by various techniques. Conventional methods for virus detection are based on techniques relying on cell culture, antigen-antibody interactions, and nucleic acids. However, these methods require trained personnel as well as expensive equipment. Microfluidic technologies, on the other hand, are one of the most accurate and specific methods to directly detect respiratory tract viruses. During viral infections, the production of detectable amounts of relevant antibodies takes a few days to weeks, hampering the aim of prevention. Alternatively, nucleic acid-based methods can directly detect the virus-specific RNA or DNA region, even before the immune response. There are numerous methods to detect respiratory viruses, but direct detection techniques have higher specificity and sensitivity than other techniques. This review aims to summarize the methods and technologies developed for microfluidic-based direct detection of viruses that cause respiratory infection using different detection techniques. Microfluidics enables the use of minimal sample volumes and thereby leading to a time, cost, and labor effective operation. Microfluidic-based detection technologies provide affordable, portable, rapid, and sensitive analysis of intact virus or virus genetic material, which is very important in pandemic and epidemic events to control outbreaks with an effective diagnosis.

Abstract
Aminoglycoside antibiotics (AAs) have been extensively applied in medical field and animal husbandry owing to desirable broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Excessive AAs residues in the environment can be accumulated in human body through food chain and cause detrimental effect on human health. The establishment of highly specific, simple and sensitive detection methods for monitoring AAs residues is highly in demand. Aptasensor using aptamer as the biological recognition element is the efficient and promising sensing method for detection of AAs. In this review, we have made a summary of specific aptamers sequences against AAs. Subsequently, we provide a systematical and comprehensive overview of modern techniques in aptasensors for detection of AAs according to optical aptasensors as well as electrochemical aptasensors and further summarize their advantages and disadvantages to compare their applications. In addition, we present an overview of practical applications of aptasensors in sample detection of AAs.

Abstract
Poor antimatrix interference capability of aptamers is one of the major obstacles preventing their wide applications for real-sample detections. Here, we devise a multiple-function interface, denoted as a nanoscale affinity double layer (NADL), to overcome this bottleneck via in situ simultaneous target enrichment, purification, and detection. The NADL consists of an upper aptamer layer for target purification and sensing and a lower nanoscale solid-phase microextraction (SPME) layer for sample enrichment. The targets flowing through the NADL-functionalized surface are instantly million-fold enriched and purified by the sequential extraction of aptamer and SPME. The formation of the aptamer-target complex is greatly enhanced, enabling ultrasensitive detection of targets with minimized interference from the matrix. Taking the fiber-optic evanescent wave sensor as an example, we demonstrated the feasibility and generality of the NADL. The unprecedented detection of limits of 800, 4.8, 40, and 0.14 fM were, respectively, achieved for three representative small-molecule targets with distinct hydrophobicity (kanamycin A, sulfadimethoxine, and di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate) and protein target (human serum albumin), corresponding to 2500 to 3 × 108-fold improvement compared to the sensors without the NADL. Our sensors also showed exceptionally high target specificity (>1000) and tunable dynamic ranges simply by manipulating the SPME layer. With these features comes the ability to directly detect targets in diluted environmental, food, and biological samples at concentrations all well below the tolerance limits.

Abstract
DNA walkers, one of the artificial molecular machines which are constructed via smart synthetic DNA, have attracted rapidly growing attention from researchers in the biosensing field. In this work, we design an Exonuclease III (Exo III)-aided target-aptamer binding recycling (ETBR) activated bipedal DNA machine for highly sensitive electrochemical detection of antibiotics. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a bipedal DNA machine has been applied in electrochemical sensing for antibiotics. On the one hand, the bipedal DNA walker exceeds the conventional single swing arm DNA walker in terms of walking efficiency and stability. On the other hand, the ETBR strategy, along with efficient strand displacement amplification via stepwise movement of a bipedal DNA walker significantly promotes the signal amplification efficiency. Under optimal conditions, this bipedal DNA machine possesses a detection limit of 7.1 fM within a linear detection range from 10 fM to 100 pM. Moreover, this electrochemical biosensor is expected to detect a wide variety of analytes using the corresponding target recognition probes. Thus, our proposed strategy offers a highly efficient, stable and practical platform for small molecule analysis.

Abstract
Based on the signal amplification elements of planar VS2/AuNPs nanocomposites and CoFe2O4 nanozyme, we herein developed an electrochemical biosensor for sensitive kanamycin (Kana) quantification. A ratiometric sensing platform was presented by incorporating VS2/AuNPs nanocomposites as a support material with excellent conductivity and high specific surface area, as well as hairpin DNA (hDNA) with complementary hybridization of biotinylated Kana-aptamer. In addition, streptavidin-functionalized CoFe2O4 nanozyme with superior peroxidase-like catalytic activity were immobilized onto the aptasensor, hence the peroxidase-like catalytic reaction could yield amplified electrochemical signals. With the presence of Kana, the aptamer-biorecognition resulted in a quantitative decrease of nanozyme accumulation and an increase of methylene blue response. Under optimal conditions, the electrochemical signal ratio of the aptasensor revealed a linear relation along with the logarithmic concentration of Kana from 1 pM to 1 μM, with the limit of detection reaching to 0.5 pM. Moreover, this aptasensor exhibited excellent precision, as well as high repeatability, hence possessing potentials in real samples and for diverse targets detection by easy replacement of the matched aptamer.

[PMID: 33171809 PMCID: PMC7695002 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics9110787] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2020] [Revised: 11/02/2020] [Accepted: 11/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Antibiotic abuse is becoming increasingly serious and the potential for harm to human health and the environment has aroused widespread social concern. Aminoglycoside antibiotics (AGs) are broad-spectrum antibiotics that have been widely used in clinical and animal medicine. Consequently, their residues are commonly found in animal-derived food items and the environment. A simple, rapid, and sensitive detection method for on-site screening and detection of AGs is urgently required. In recent years, with the development of molecular detection technology, nucleic acid aptamers have been successfully used as recognition molecules for the identification and detection of AGs in food and the environment. These aptamers have high affinities, selectivities, and specificities, are inexpensive, and can be produced with small batch-to-batch differences. This paper reviews the applications of aptamers for AG detection in colorimetric, fluorescent, chemiluminescent, surface plasmon resonance, and electrochemical sensors for the analysis in food and environmental samples. This study provides useful references for future research.

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
Due to their relative synthetic and chemical simplicity compared to antibodies, aptamers afford enhanced stability and functionality for the detection of environmental contaminants and for use in environmental monitoring. Furthermore, nucleic acid aptamers can be selected for toxic targets which may prove difficult for antibody development. Of particular relevance, aptamers have been selected and used to develop biosensors for environmental contaminants such as heavy metals, small-molecule agricultural toxins, and water-borne bacterial pathogens. This review will focus on recent aptamer-based developments for the detection of diverse environmental contaminants. Within this domain, aptamers have been combined with other technologies to develop biosensors with various signal outputs. The goal of much of this work is to develop cost-effective, user-friendly detection methods that can complement or replace traditional environmental monitoring strategies. This review will highlight recent examples in this area. Additionally, with innovative developments such as wearable devices, sentinel materials, and lab-on-a-chip designs, there exists significant potential for the development of multifunctional aptamer-based biosensors for environmental monitoring. Examples of these technologies will also be highlighted. Finally, a critical perspective on the field, and thoughts on future research directions will be offered.

Abstract
In recent years, several types of optical sensors have been probed for their aptitude in healthcare biosensing, making their applications in biomedical diagnostics a rapidly evolving subject. Optical sensors show versatility amongst different receptor types and even permit the integration of different detection mechanisms. Such conjugated sensing platforms facilitate the exploitation of their neoteric synergistic characteristics for sensor fabrication. This paper covers nearly 250 research articles since 2016 representing the emerging interest in rapid, reproducible and ultrasensitive assays in clinical analysis. Therefore, we present an elaborate review of biomedical diagnostics with the help of optical sensors working on varied principles such as surface plasmon resonance, localised surface plasmon resonance, evanescent wave fluorescence, bioluminescence and several others. These sensors are capable of investigating toxins, proteins, pathogens, disease biomarkers and whole cells in varied sensing media ranging from water to buffer to more complex environments such as serum, blood or urine. Hence, the recent trends discussed in this review hold enormous potential for the widespread use of optical sensors in early-stage disease prediction and point-of-care testing devices.

Abstract
One of the most studied topics in analytical chemistry and physics is to develop bio-sensors. Aptamers are small single-stranded RNA or DNA oligonucleotides (5-25 kDa), which have advantages in comparison to their antibodies such as physicochemical stability and high binding specificity. They are able to integrate with proteins or small molecules, including intact viral particles, plant lectins, gene-regulation factor, growth factors, antibodies and enzymes. The aptamers have reportedly shown some unique characteristics, including long shelf-life, simple modification to provide covalent bonds to material surfaces, minor batch variation, cost-effectiveness and slight denaturation susceptibility. These features led important efforts toward the development of aptamer-based sensors, known as apta-sensors classified into optical, electrical and mass-sensitive based on the signal transduction mode. This review provided a number of current advancements in selecting, development criteria, and aptamers application with the focus on the effect of apta-sensors, specifically for disease-associated analyses. The review concentrated on the current reports of apta-sensors that are used for evaluating different food and environmental pollutants.

The Growing Interest in Development of Innovative Optical Aptasensors for the Detection of Antimicrobial Residues in Food Products. BIOSENSORS-BASEL 2020; 10:bios10030021. [PMID: 32138274 PMCID: PMC7146278 DOI: 10.3390/bios10030021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2019] [Revised: 02/20/2020] [Accepted: 02/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
The presence of antimicrobial residues in food-producing animals can lead to harmful effects on the consumer (e.g., allergies, antimicrobial resistance, toxicological effects) and cause issues in food transformation (i.e., cheese, yogurts production). Therefore, to control antimicrobial residues in food products of animal origin, screening methods are of utmost importance. Microbiological and immunological methods (e.g., ELISA, dipsticks) are conventional screening methods. Biosensors are an innovative solution for the development of more performant screening methods. Among the different kinds of biosensing elements (e.g., antibodies, aptamers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP), enzymes), aptamers for targeting antimicrobial residues are in continuous development since 2000. Therefore, this review has highlighted recent advances in the development of aptasensors, which present multiple advantages over immunosensors. Most of the aptasensors described in the literature for the detection of antimicrobial residues in animal-derived food products are either optical or electrochemical sensors. In this review, I have focused on optical aptasensors and showed how nanotechnologies (nanomaterials, micro/nanofluidics, and signal amplification techniques) largely contribute to the improvement of their performance (sensitivity, specificity, miniaturization, portability). Finally, I have explored different techniques to develop multiplex screening methods. Multiplex screening methods are necessary for the wide spectrum detection of antimicrobials authorized for animal treatment (i.e., having maximum residue limits).

Abstract
A novel label-free aptasensor for kanamycin detection was constructed using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as absorber to quench the fluorescence of carbon dots (CDs) via the inner filter effect (IFE). The strategy was mainly relied on the fact that the absorption spectra of AuNPs overlapped with the fluorescence excitation spectra of fluorophores as well as the specific binding capacity of Ky2 aptamer to kanamycin. Upon adding kanamycin antibiotic, the free aptamer sequences are firstly exhausted to form some complexes, which leads to AuNPs aggregation in high salt concentration. Consequently, the absorber's absorption spectrum changes and no longer overlaps with the fluorescence emission spectrum of the CDs, which results in obvious fluorescence recovery of the aptasensor. Herein, the effects of some vital parameters like the type and number of nanoparticles on the fluorescent aptasensor have been investigated. Under optimal conditions, the proposed aptasensor can detect kanamycin in a linear range of 0.04-0.24 μM, with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 18 nM. Moreover, the further studies also validate the applicability of the proposed aptasensor in milk samples, revealing that it may have enormous potential utility for practical kanamycin detection in food products in the future.

Abstract
In order to meet the needs of on-site, accurate, fast, and remote detection, we design a smartphone-based handheld dual-channel optical fiber fluorescence sensor (DOFFS), which is composed of a semiconductor laser for exciting fluorescence signals, a smartphone with a dual-bandpass filter for collecting fluorescence signals, a fiber coupler for transmitting light, and batteries for laser power supply. All the components are integrated into a 3D printed shell, on the side of which there are two fiber flanges used for fiber probe connection. The fluorescence signals of green and red quantum dots modified on the fiber probes can be captured by the smartphone camera and calculated by a self-developed Android application. The comparisons of single-channel and dual-channel fluorescence signals with pH show that the performance of the sensor is good. The proposed sensor not only can simultaneously detect dual-channel signals for fast detection needs, but it also is handheld with a small size of 79×57×154mm3 and inner power supply, and the fiber probes can be easily replaced, supporting remote and on-site applications. It is a potential tool for many occasions in many fields.

Abstract
We devise a novel colorimetric aptasensor for multiplex antibiotics based on an ss-DNA fragment coordinately controlling gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) aggregation. The multifunctional aptamer (Apt) was elaborately designed to be adsorbed on AuNPs surfaces acting as a binding element for antibiotics and a molecular switch. Chloramphenicol (CAP) and tetracycline (TET) were selected as the model antibiotics. When one kind of antibiotics was added, the specifically recognized fragment of Apt can bind to it and dissociated, and the non-specific one coordinately controls AuNPs aggregation under high-salt conditions. Hence, different color changes of AuNPs solution can be used as the signal readout. The aptasensor exhibited remarkable selectivity and sensitivity for separate detection of TET and CAP, and the detection limits are estimated to be 32.9 and 7.0 nM, respectively. The analysis with the absorption spectroscopy and the smartphone are applied to detect antibiotics in real samples with consistent results and desirable recoveries.

Electrochemical aptasensor for sulfadimethoxine detection based on the triggered cleavage activity of nuclease P1 by aptamer-target complex. Talanta 2019; 204:409-414.

Abstract
Herein, a simple and selective electrochemical method was developed for sulfadimethoxine detection based on the triggered cleavage activity of nuclease P1 by the formation of aptamer and sulfadimethoxine conjugate. After probe DNA was immobilized on gold electrode surface, aptamer DNA labeled with biotin at its 5'-terminal was then captured on electrode surface through the hybridization reaction between probe DNA and aptamer DNA. The formed double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) can block the digestion activity of Nuclease P1 towards the single-stranded probe DNA. Then, the anti-dsDNA antibody was further modified on electrode surface based on the specific interaction between dsDNA and antibody. Due to the electrostatic repulsion effect and steric-hindrance effect, a weak electrochemical signal was obtained at this electrode. However, in the presence of sulfadimethoxine, it can interact with aptamer DNA, and then the formation of dsDNA can be blocked. As a result, the probe DNA at its single-strand state can be digested by Nuclease P1, which leads to the failure of the immobilization of anti-dsDNA antibody. At this state, a strong electrochemical signal was obtained. Based on the change of the electrochemical signal, sulfadimethoxine can be detected with linear range of 0.1-500 nmol/L. The detection limit was 0.038 nmol/L. The developed method possesses high detection selectivity and sensitivity. The applicability of this method was also proved by detecting sulfadimethoxine in veterinary drug and milk with satisfactory results.

Abstract
The growing prevalence of antibiotic resistance poses an increasingly serious threat to human health. Although an important driver of antibiotic resistance is the continuous exposure of bacteria to sublethal concentrations of antibiotics in natural environments, antibiotic pollutants are not currently tracked globally or systematically. This limits the international capacity to address the rise of antibiotic resistance at its source. To address this lack of data, the development of methods to measure antibiotic concentrations on-site is essential. These methods, ideally, must be sensitive to sublethal concentrations of antibiotics and require minimal technical expertise. Furthermore, factors such as cost, selectivity, biosafety and the ability to multiplex must be evaluated in the context of field use. Based on these criteria, we provide a critical review of current methods in antibiotic detection and evaluate their adaptability for use on-site. We categorize these methods into microbiological assays, physical and chemical assays, immunoassays, aptasensors and whole-cell biosensors. We recommend continued development of a dipstick or microfluidics approach with a bacterial promoter-based mechanism and colorimetric output. This technique would incorporate the advantageous aspects of existing methods, maximize shelf-life and ease-of-use, and require minimal resources to implement in the field.

Abstract
The structure-switching aptamers are designed for the simple and rapid detection of kanamycin based on the signal transduction principle of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The structure switch is composed of kanamycin-binding aptamers and the complementary strands, respectively labeled with fluorophore and quencher, denoted as FDNA and QDNA. In the absence of kanamycin, FDNA and QDNA form the double helix structure through the complementary pairing of bases. The fluorophore and the quencher are brought into close proximity, which results in the fluorescence quenching because of the FRET mechanism. In the presence of kanamycin, the FDNA specifically bind to the target due to the high affinity of aptamers, and the QDNA are dissociated. The specific recognition between aptamers and kanamycin will obstruct the formation of structure switch and reduce the efficiency of FRET between FDNA and QDNA, thus leading to the fluorescence enhancement. Therefore, based on the structure-switching aptamers, a simple fluorescent assay for rapid detection of kanamycin was developed. Under optimal conditions, there was a good linear relationship between kanamycin concentration and the fluorescence signal recovery. The linear range of this method in milk samples was 100-600 nM with the detection limit of 13.52 nM (3σ), which is well below the maximum residue limit (MRL) of kanamycin in milk. This method shows excellent selectivity for kanamycin over the other common antibiotics. The structure-switching aptamers have been successfully applied to the detection of kanamycin spiked in milk samples with the satisfying recoveries between 101.3 and 109.1%, which is well-consistent with the results from LC-MS/MS. Due to the outstanding advantages of facile operation, rapid detection, high sensitivity, excellent specificity, and low cost, the application and extension of this strategy for rapid determination of antibiotics in food samples may greatly improve the efficiency in food safety and quality supervision.

Abstract
A few years ago, crucial graphene oxide (GO) features such as the carbon/oxygen ratio, number of layers, and lateral size were scarcely investigated and, thus, their impact on the overall optical biosensing performance was almost unknown. Nowadays valuable insights about these features are well documented in the literature, whereas others remain controversial. Moreover, most of the biosensing systems based on GO were amenable to operating as colloidal suspensions. Currently, the literature reports conceptually new approaches obviating the need of GO colloidal suspensions, enabling the integration of GO onto a solid phase and leading to their application in new biosensing devices. Furthermore, most GO-based biosensing devices exploit photoluminescent signals. However, further progress is also achieved in powerful label-free optical techniques exploiting GO in biosensing, particularly using optical fibers, surface plasmon resonance, and surface enhanced Raman scattering. Herein, a critical overview on these topics is offered, highlighting the key role of the physicochemical properties of GO. New challenges and opportunities in this exciting field are also highlighted.

Abstract
A rapid method is described for the determination of the antibiotic kanamycin. It integrates a kanamycin-binding aptamer and surface plasmon enhanced energy transfer (SPEET) between DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The AgNCs and AuNPs were selected as energy donor and energy acceptor, respectively. The aptamer was designed to regulate the energy transfer between AgNCs and AuNPs. The aptamer was adsorbed on the AuNPs. Upon addition of kanamycin, the aptamer-kanamycin complex is formed, and this results in the aggregation of the AuNPs in high salt concentration, the formation of a blue coloration, and in the suppression of the SPEET process. The fluorescence of the AgNCs (with excitation/emission peaks at 560/600 nm) is quenched by the aptamer protected AuNPs in absence of kanamycin. The fluorescence on addition of kanamycin increases linearly in the 5 to 50 nM concentration range, with a lower detection limit of 1.0 nM (at S/N = 3). The assay can be performed within 30 min. It was successfully applied to the determination of kanamycin in spiked milk samples, and recoveries ranged between 90.2 and 95.4%. Conceivably, the strategy has a wide potential for screening by simply changing the aptamer. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of the aptamer regulated surface plasmon enhance energy transfer (SPEET) between silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs) and gold nanoparticles (Au NCs) in high salt concentration buffer, and of the procedure for the detection of kanamycin.

Abstract
The rapid detection of cocaine has received considerable attention because of the instantaneous and adverse effects of cocaine overdose on human health. Aptamer-based biosensors for cocaine detection have been well established for research and application. However, reducing the analytic duration without deteriorating the sensitivity still remains as a challenge. Here, we proposed an aptamer-based evanescent wave fibre (EWF) biosensor to rapidly detect cocaine in a wide working range. At first, the aptamers were conjugated to complementary DNA with fluorescence tag and such conjugants were then immobilized on magnetic beads. After cocaine was introduced to compete against the aptamer-DNA conjugants, the released DNA in supernatant was detected on the EWF platform. The dynamic curves of EWF signals could be interpreted by the first-order kinetics and saturation model. The semi-log calibration curve covered a working range of 10-5000 µM of cocaine, and the limit of detection was approximately 10.5 µM. The duration of the full procedure was 990 s (16.5 min), and the detection interval was 390 s (6.5 min). The specified detection of cocaine was confirmed from four typical pharmaceutic agents. The analysis was repeated for 50 cycles without significant loss of sensitivity. Therefore, the aptamer-based EWF biosensor is a feasible solution to rapidly detect cocaine.

Abstract
This work reports the proof-of-concept of an ultrasensitive label-free electrochemical aptasensor for Kanamycin (Kana) detection coupling strand-displacement amplification (SDA) with hybridization chain reaction (HCR). In the presence of target Kana, the analyte triggers conformational change of hairpin HP1 (HP1) and two-staged SDA to produce short single-stranded DNA (S1) with the aid of KF polymerase and nicking endonuclease. Meanwhile, the as-produced S1 hybridizes with the immobilized hairpin HP2 (HP2) on the electrode to open the hairpin, thereby resulting in the formation of DNA duplex. Thereafter, DNA duplex is selectively digested by Exo III accompanying S1 recycling. The residual single-stranded probe (S2) on the electrode opens another two hairpins in sequence and propagates a chain reaction of hybridization events between two alternating hairpins (H1 and H2) to form a long nicked double-helix. Upon addition of redox-active methylene blue (MB), numerous indicators are intercalated into the grooves of double-helix DNA polymers, each of which produces an electrochemical signal within the applied potentials. Under optimum conditions, the SDA/HCR-based electrochemical aptasensor exhibits a high sensitivity for detection of Kana down to 36 fM with a linear range from 0.05 to 200 pM. Additionally, the as-prepared aptasensor is successfully employed to determinate the Kana in animal derived food (milk). With the advantages of high sensitivity, label-free strategy and excellent selectivity, the developed aptasensor possesses great potential application value in food-safety analysis field.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance and, accordingly, their pollution because of uncontrolled usage has emerged as a serious problem in recent years. Hence, there is an increased demand to develop robust, easy, and sensitive methods for rapid evaluation of antibiotics and their residues. Among different analytical methods, the aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) have attracted considerable attention because of good selectivity, specificity, and sensitivity. This review gives an overview about recently-developed aptasensors for antibiotic detection. The use of various aptamer assays to determine different groups of antibiotics, like β-lactams, aminoglycosides, anthracyclines, chloramphenicol, (fluoro)quinolones, lincosamide, tetracyclines, and sulfonamides are presented in this paper.
