Abstract
Bacteriophages, which are viral predators of bacteria, have evolved to efficiently recognize, bind, infect, and lyse their host, resulting in the release of tens to hundreds of propagated viruses. These abilities have attracted biosensor developers who have developed new methods to detect bacteria. Recently, several comprehensive reviews have covered many of the advances made regarding the performance of phage-based biosensors. Therefore, in this review, we first describe the landscape of phage-based biosensors and then cover advances in other aspects of phage biology and engineering that can be used to make high-impact contributions to biosensor development. Many of these advances are in fields adjacent to analytical chemistry such as synthetic biology, machine learning, and genetic engineering and will allow those looking to develop phage-based biosensors to start taking alternative approaches, such as a bottom-up design and synthesis of custom phages with the singular task of detecting their host.

Anal Bioanal Chem 2024; 416:3509-3518. [PMID: 38647692 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05301-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) is a foodborne pathogenic microorganism that is commonly found in the environment and poses a significant threat to human health, public safety, and economic stability worldwide. Thus, early detection is essential for E. coli O157:H7 control. In recent years, a series of E. coli O157:H7 detection methods have been developed, but the sensitivity and portability of the methods still need improvement. Therefore, in this study, a rapid and efficient testing platform based on the CRISPR/Cas12a cleavage reaction was constructed. Through the integration of recombinant polymerase amplification and lateral flow chromatography, we established a dual-interpretation-mode detection platform based on CRISPR/Cas12a-derived fluorescence and lateral flow chromatography for the detection of E. coli O157:H7. For the fluorescence detection method, the limits of detection (LODs) of genomic DNA and E. coli O157:H7 were 1.8 fg/µL and 2.4 CFU/mL, respectively, within 40 min. Conversely, for the lateral flow detection method, LODs of 1.8 fg/µL and 2.4 × 102 CFU/mL were achieved for genomic DNA and E. coli O157:H7, respectively, within 45 min. This detection strategy offered higher sensitivity and lower equipment requirements than industry standards. In conclusion, the established platform showed excellent specificity and strong universality. Modifying the target gene and its primers can broaden the platform's applicability to detect various other foodborne pathogens.

Abstract
Herein, novel nanozyme mimics MoO3/MIL-125-NH2 were reported and conjugated with bacteriophages as a new electrochemical probe for high sensitivity and specific electrochemical detection of staphylococcus aureus. The excellent peroxidase-like activity of MoO3/MIL-125-NH2 composites was attributed to the integration of MIL-125-NH2 with MoO3, which can boost the generation of superoxide radicals (O• 2-) and thus promote the oxidation of TMB in the presence of H2O2. In this work, two bacteriophages named SapYZU04 and SapYZU10 were isolated from sewage samples by using staphylococcus aureus YZUsa12 as the host. In comparison, MoO3/MIL-125-NH2@SapYZU04 was selected as a recognition agent. The DPV current declined linearly with staphylococcus aureus YZUsa12 concentration in the range of 101-108 CFU mL-1, with a low detection limit of 16 CFU mL-1 (S/N = 3). 20 strains including 13 host strains and 7 non-host strains were used to evaluate the selectivity of the proposed sensor. Regardless of the differences in the degrees of lytic performance for phage SapYZU04, all selected host strains can be screened with merely the same DPV current. Host spectrum-oriented bacteriophage sensing is of great importance for the practical application of bacteriophage-based biosensors in the future.

Abstract
Microbial food spoilage and foodborne disease are the main challenges in the food industry regarding food shelf life. Current preservation methods are frequently associated with changes in organoleptic characteristics and loss of nutrients. For this reason, bacteriophage offers an alternative natural method as a biocontrol agent that can reduce bacterial contamination in food without altering the organoleptic properties. This study was conducted to isolate and characterize bacteriophage from soil to control food spoilage bacteria, such as Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilis, and foodborne pathogenic bacteria, such as enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC). Isolation was done by agar overlay assay method, and phages BC-S1, BS-S2, ETEC-S3, and EHEC-S4 were recovered. The host range of all isolated phages tended to be narrow and had high specificity towards the specific bacteria. The phage efficiency were measured where ETEC-S3 showed no effectivity against B. cereus and EHEC-S4 showed low efficiency against Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC). Morphology analysis was conducted for phage BC-S1 and ETEC-S3 with Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and it is shown to belong to the Caudovirales order. Phages BC-S1 and BS-S2 significantly reduced the host bacteria when applied to the cooked rice and pasteurized milk samples with miMOI of 0.1. While phage ETEC-S3 at miMOI of 0.001 and phage EHEC-S4 at miMOI of 1 also showed a significant reduction when applied to chicken meat and lettuce samples at storage temperatures of 4 °C and 28 °C. The highest bacterial reduction of 100% was shown by phage BC-S1 on pasteurized milk samples and reduction up to 96.06% by phage ETEC-S3 on chicken meat samples at 28 °C incubation.

Abstract
Rapid and accurate identification of foodborne pathogens improves public health. Currently employed methods are time-consuming, sensitive to environmental factors, and complex. This study develops a colorimetric sensor for detecting multiple bacteria with one probe using double-enzyme-induced colorimetry. Based on alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in bacteria decomposes L-ascorbic acid 2-magnesium phosphate salt hydrate into ascorbic acid (AA). Manganese dioxide flowers (MnO2 NFs) can oxidize TMB to etch gold nanorods (Au NRs), which can be inhibited by AA reduction to produce rich colors. Bacteria with varying ALP levels can be identified based on color changes and plasmon resonance wavelength signals produced from Au NRs. Furthermore, the conversion of RGB signals to digital signals and the use of linear discriminant analysis (LDA) allowed 99.57% accuracy in identifying multiple bacteria. It can simultaneously identify five foodborne pathogens across diverse environments (shrimp, meat, milk, etc.). This method may be useful for the rapid and simple identification of foodborne illnesses.

Antibiotic resistance genes, mobile elements, virulence genes, and phages in cultivated ESBL-producing Escherichia coli of poultry origin in Kwara State, North Central Nigeria. Int J Food Microbiol 2023; 389:110086. [PMID: 36738714 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Revised: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
The paucity of information on the genomic diversity of drug-resistant bacteria in most food-producing animals, including poultry in Nigeria, has led to poor hazard characterization and the lack of critical control points to safeguard public health. Hence, this study used whole genome sequencing (WGS) to assess the presence and the diversity of antibiotic resistance genes, mobile genetic elements, virulence genes, and phages in Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase producing Escherichia coli (ESBL - E. coli) isolates obtained from poultry via the EURL guideline of 2017 in Ilorin, Nigeria. The prevalence of ESBL - E. coli in poultry was 10.5 % (n = 37/354). The phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility testing showed that all the ESBL- E. coli isolates were multi-drug resistant (MDR). The in-silico analysis of the WGS raw-read data from 11 purposively selected isolates showed that the isolates had a wide array of ARGs that conferred resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, and 8 other classes of antibiotics (fluoroquinolones, foliate pathway antagonists, aminoglycoside, phenicol, tetracycline, epoxide, macrolides, and rifamycin). All the ARGs were in the bacterial chromosome except in two isolates where plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) was detected. Two isolates carried the gyrAp.S83L mutation which confers resistance to certain fluoroquinolones. The mobilome consisted of several Col-plasmids and the predominant IncF plasmids belonged to the IncF64:A-:B27 sequence type. The virulome consisted of genes that function as adhesins, iron acquisition genes, toxins, and protectins. Intact phages were found in 8 of the 11 isolates and the phageome consisted of representatives of four families of viruses: Myoviridae (62.5 %, n = 5/8), Siphoviridae (37.5 %, n = 3/8), Inoviridae (12.5 %, n = 1), and Podoviridae (12.5 %, n = 1/8). ESBL - E. coli isolates harboured 1-5 intact phages and no ARGs were identified on any of the phages. Although five of the isolates belonged to phylogroup A, the isolates were diverse as they belonged to different serotype and sequence types. Our findings demonstrate the high genomic diversity of ESBL - E. coli of poultry origin in Ilorin, Nigeria. These diverse isolates harbor clinically relevant ARGs, mobile elements, virulence genes, and phages that may have detrimental zoonotic potentials on human health.

Joint-detection of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli O157:H7 by an immersible amplification dip-stick immunoassay. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 224:115075.

Abstract
To explore the superiority of multifunctional nanocomposites and realize the joint-detection of foodborne pathogens, an immersible amplification dip-stick immunoassay (DSIA) was exploited for the sensitive detection of Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhi) and Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7). Saving for the basic colorimetric performance, the reporter molecule of CoFe2O4 (CFO) possesses multivalent elements (Co2+/3+, Fe2+/3+) as well as multifunction of superior catalase-like activity and magnetic properties. By dint of the catalytic activity of CFO, a directly immersible amplification can be simply achieved to endure the DSIA with an intensive signal and a dual-visible mode for the determination of S. typhi and E. coli O157:H7. In virtue of the magnetic separation and enrichment capability of the CFO, the DSIA can perform a matrix-interference-free detection and obtain a dynamic detection range of 102-108 CFU/mL and a low assay limit of 102 CFU/mL. Moreover, the DSIA has reasonable recovery rates for contamination monitoring of two target bacteria in milk and beef samples. Our research provides a persuasive supplement for the application of multifunctional nanocomposites in the ongoing dip-stick immunoassay and an alternative strategy for the efficient detection of foodborne pathogens.

Abstract
Non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) is one family of pathogens usually leading to nosocomial infections. Exploration of high-performance biological recognition agent plays a pivotal role for the development of point-of-care testing device and kit for detecting NTM. Mycobacterium smegmatis (M. smegmatis) is a NTM which has been frequently applied as an alternative model for highly pathogenic mycobacteria. Herein, a recombinant tail protein derived from mycobacteriophage SWU1 infecting M. smegmatis was expressed with Escherichia coli system and noted as GP89. It shows a fist-like structure according to the results of homology modeling and ab initio modeling. It is confirmed as a lipoarabinomannan (LAM) binding protein, which can recognize studied NTM genus since abundant LAM constructed with d-mannan and d-arabinan is distributed over the mycobacterial surface. Meanwhile an enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP)-fused GP89 protein was acquired with a fusion expression technique. Then GP89 and eGFP-fused GP89 were applied to establish a sensitive and rapid method for fluorescent detection of M. smegmatis with a broad linear range of 1.0 × 102 to 1.0 × 106 CFU mL-1 and a low detection limit of 69 CFU mL-1. Rapid and reliable testing of antimicrobial susceptibility was achieved by the GP89-based fluorescent method. The present work provides a promising recognition agent for studied NTM and opens an avenue for clinical diagnosis of NTM-induced infections.

Abstract
Foodborne microorganisms are an important cause of human illness worldwide. Two-thirds of human foodborne diseases are caused by bacterial pathogens throughout the globe, especially in developing nations. Despite enormous developments in conventional foodborne pathogen detection methods, progress is limited by the assay complexity and a prolonged time-to-result. The specificity and sensitivity of assays for live pathogen detection may also depend on the nature of the samples being analyzed and the immunological or molecular reagents used. Bacteriophage-based biosensors offer several benefits, including specificity to their host organism, the detection of only live pathogens, and resistance to extreme environmental factors such as organic solvents, high temperatures, and a wide pH range. Phage-based biosensors are receiving increasing attention owing to their high degree of accuracy, specificity, and reduced assay times. These characteristics, coupled with their abundant supply, make phages a novel bio-recognition molecule in assay development, including biosensors for the detection of foodborne bacterial pathogens to ensure food safety. This review provides comprehensive information about the different types of phage-based biosensor platforms, such as magnetoelastic sensors, quartz crystal microbalance, and electrochemical and surface plasmon resonance for the detection of several foodborne bacterial pathogens from various representative food matrices and environmental samples.

Abstract
The abuse of antibiotics and the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria aggravate the problem of food safety. Finding a safe and efficient antibiotic substitute is an inevitable demand for ensuring the safety of animal-derived food. Bacteriophages are a kind of virus that can infect bacteria, fungi or actinomycetes. They have the advantages of simple structure, strong specificity and non-toxic side effects to human body. Bacteriophages can not only differentiate live cells from dead ones, but also detect bacteria in a viable but nonculturable state. These characteristics make bacteriophages more and more widely used in food industry. This paper describes the concept and characteristics of bacteriophages, introduces the application of bacteriophages in pre-harvest production, food processing, storage and sales. Several methods of bacteriophage detection of foodborne pathogens are listed. Finally, the advantages and limitations of bacteriophages in food industry are summarized, and the application prospect of bacteriophages in food industry are prospected.
