Abstract
The worldwide spread of pathogenic microorganisms poses a significant risk to human health. Electrochemical biosensors have emerged as dependable analytical tools for the point-of-care detection of pathogens and can effectively compensate for the limitations of conventional techniques. Real-time analysis, high throughput, portability, and rapidity make them pioneering tools for on-site detection of pathogens. Herein, this work comprehensively reviews the recent advances in electrochemical biosensors for pathogen detection, focusing on those based on the classification of recognition elements, and summarizes their principles, current challenges, and prospects. This review was conducted by a systematic search of PubMed and Web of Science databases to obtain relevant literature and construct a basic framework. A total of 171 publications were included after online screening and data extraction to obtain information of the research advances in electrochemical biosensors for pathogen detection. According to the findings, the research of electrochemical biosensors in pathogen detection has been increasing yearly in the past 3 years, which has a broad development prospect, but most of the biosensors have performance or economic limitations and are still in the primary stage. Therefore, significant research and funding are required to fuel the rapid development of electrochemical biosensors. The overview comprehensively evaluates the recent advances in different types of electrochemical biosensors utilized in pathogen detection, with a view to providing insights into future research directions in biosensors.

Abstract
Based on the versatile properties of bio-derived materials, non-enzymatic assays in combination with electronic devices have attracted increasing interest. Here, we report a novel enzyme-free visualization approach for the detection of erythritol, which is a zero-calorie natural sweetener and serves as an ideal sucrose substitute for diabetics or overweight people who need sugar control. The recognition element of the electrochemical biosensor was constructed by catechol modification on a chitosan-based hydrogel film. The signal transduction was achieved by the competitive binding assay of sweeteners. The results show that 2-fluorophenylboronic acid (FPBA) can form a cyclic boronate ester with the ortho-hydroxyls of both reduced catechol and oxidized quinone, impeding the electron transfer and leading to redox signal attenuation. The addition of sweeteners caused a competitive reaction resulting in bonding between the 1,2-diols and FPBA moieties, and in the recovery of the redox signals. Importantly, the pattern of redox signal changes of catechol can be detected optically, as the oxidized quinone state is darker in color than the reduced catechol state. Using a simple cell phone imaging application, we demonstrate that erythritol can be distinguished from other sweeteners in real samples using the oxidized catechol-Chit0/agarose hydrogel film. Thus, we envision that this method could allow diabetics and people who need to control their sugar intake to detect whether the product contains only erythritol in the field or at home. In addition, this work further illustrates the potential of bio-derived materials for performing redox-based functions and enzyme-free visualization assays.

Abstract
In recent years, pathogenic microorganisms have caused significant mortality rates and antibiotic resistance and triggered exorbitant healthcare costs. These pathogens often have high transmission rates within human populations. Rapid diagnosis is crucial in controlling and reducing the spread of pathogenic infections. The diagnostic methods currently used against individuals infected with these pathogens include relying on outward symptoms, immunological-based and, some biomolecular ones, which mainly have limitations such as diagnostic errors, time-consuming processes, and high-cost platforms. Electrochemical aptasensors and genosensors have emerged as promising diagnostic tools for rapid, accurate, and cost-effective pathogen detection. These bio-electrochemical platforms have been optimized for diagnostic purposes by incorporating advanced materials (mainly nanomaterials), biomolecular technologies, and innovative designs. This review classifies electrochemical aptasensors and genosensors developed between 2021 and 2023 based on their use of different nanomaterials, such as gold-based, carbon-based, and others that employed other innovative assemblies without the use of nanomaterials. Inspecting the diagnostic features of various sensing platforms against pathogenic analytes can identify research gaps and open new avenues for exploration.

Development of an electrochemical sensitive aptasensor based on a zeolite imidazolate framework-8 and gold nanoparticles for the determination of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Anal Bioanal Chem 2024; 416:1229-1238. [PMID: 38180496 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-023-05115-6] [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: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the most important pathogens that cause illness and food poisoning. In this research, using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF 8) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), a sensitive electrochemical aptasensor has been made for the detection of the S. aureus bacteria. The morphology of the prepared AuNPs-ZIF 8 nanocomposite has been carefully characterized by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). In the manufacturing process, the S. aureus aptamer is immobilized on the AuNPs-ZIF 8 surface. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method has been used for quantitative determination of S. aureus bacteria. The changes in the charge transfer resistance (Rct) of the aptamer due to the change in the concentration of bacteria are considered as the analytical signals. The proposed aptasensor has linear response in the concentration range of 1.5 × 101 to 1.5 × 107 CFU mL-1 of S. aureus bacteria. The detection limit of the method is 3.4 CFU mL-1. Using the developed aptasensor, it is possible to determine S. aureus bacteria in water and milk samples.

Abstract
A ratiometric fluorescence and colorimetry dual-mode nano-biosensor has been established for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) determination. The prepared approaches of Manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO2 NSs) and carbon dots (BCDs) were facile, efficient and labor-saving and MnO2 NSs-mediated fluorescence quenching and oxidation could amplify detection signals. The dual-mode determination had a broad linear range of 37 ∼ 3.7 × 106 CFU/mL and low detection limits of 9 CFU/mL (ratiometric fluorescence) and 22 CFU/mL (colorimetry). Meanwhile, the method was applied in real samples with recovery ranging of 90 ∼ 102% and RSD < 4.44%, which was an insignificant difference with standard plate counting. The new dual-mode approach of S. aureus possesses the advantages of superior sensitivity, precision, accuracy and specificity. Moreover, the dual-mode nano-biosensor can be adopted in other foodborne pathogens determination by changing corresponding aptamers and provide an enlightenment in monitoring food safety.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is accountable for a wide variety of clinical disease with a high rate of morbidity and mortality around the globe. It has a leading place into the ESKAPE group that includes six pathogens and exhibit multidrug resistance and are the major cause of healthcare associated infections: Enterococcus faecium, S. aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp. A critical overview regarding the development of sensors for both S. aureus and his, more dangerous alter ego, Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) was presented focusing on the bacteria targets starting with the detection of the whole cell, up to specific wall components, toxins or other virulence factors. The literature data was systematically assessed having in sight the design of the sensing platforms, the analytical performances, and possible courses of action to be implemented in real practice as point-of-care (POC) devices. Moreover, a distinct section was dedicated to commercially available devices and out of the box approaches, namely the use of bacteriophages as an alternative to antimicrobial therapy and as sensors modifiers. The reviewed sensors and devices were discussed in terms of their suitability for different biosensing applications, in early screening of contamination regarding food analysis, environmental monitoring and in clinical diagnosis.

Ultrasensitive detection of Staphylococcus aureus using a non-fluorescent cDNA-grafted dark BBQ®-650 chromophore integrated hydrophilic upconversion nanoparticles/aptamer system. Mikrochim Acta 2023; 190:250. [PMID: 37278765 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-023-05823-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2022] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
A highly structured fluorometric bioassay has been proposed for screening Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The study exploits (i) the spectral attributes of the hexagonal NaYF4:Yb,Er upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP)-coated 3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane; (ii) the intrinsic non-fluorescent quenching features of the highly stable dark blackberry (BBQ®-650) receptor; (iii) the aptamer (Apt-) biorecognition and binding affinity, and (iv) the complementary DNA hybridizer-linkage efficacy. The principle relied on the excited state energy transfer between the donor Apt-labeled NH2-UCNPs at the 3' end, and cDNA-grafted BBQ®-650 at the 5' end, as the effective receptors. The donor moieties in proximity (< 10.0 nm) trigger hybridization with the cDNA-grafted dark BBQ®-650, as the receptors of energy from the 2F5/2 level of Yb3+ ions to initiate the Förster resonance energy transfer pathway. This was confirmed by the decline in the excited-state lifetimes from 223.52 μs (τ1) to 179.26 μs (τ2). The existence of the target S. aureus in the bioassay attracts the Apt- resulting in the detachment of the acceptor, and disintegration of the complex configuration via conformation reversal. The re-activated fluorescence monitored at λex/em = 980/652 nm, as a function of the logarithmic concentration of S. aureus (42 to 4.2 × 108 CFU mL-1), yielded an ultra-low detection response of 2.0 CFU mL-1. The bioassay screening of S. aureus in real samples revealed satisfactory recoveries (92.44-107.82%) and validation results (p > 0.05). Hence, the comprehensive Apt-labeled NH2-UCNPs-cDNA-grafted dark BBQ®-650 bioassay offered fast and precise S. aureus screening in food and environmental settings.

Abstract
Novel Fe3O4-Ag-MnO2 composites were successfully synthesized. It was noteworthy that the obtained Fe3O4-Ag-MnO2 composites were found to possess three types of enzyme-mimicking activities, including peroxidase-like, catalase-like and oxidase-like activities. Taking advantage of the oxidase properties of Fe3O4-Ag-MnO2, the direct oxidation of TMB could be catalyzed to generate blue oxidation products without H2O2. The oxidase-like activity of Fe3O4-Ag-MnO2 were carefully studied. Based on the Fe3O4-Ag-MnO2-TMB system, a fast, sensitive and intuitive multicolor colorimetric method for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) detection was established under the optimized conditions. The proposed method allows the detection of S. aureus with a detection limit of 3.7 cfu mL-1 and a linear range of 10-106 cfu mL-1. This new colorimetric method has been successfully proved to be applicable to the detection S. aureus of food samples.
