Abstract
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) pose significant challenges to global health due to pathogen complexity and antimicrobial resistance. Biosensors utilizing antimicrobial peptides offer innovative solutions. Hylarana picturata Multiple Active Peptide 1 (Hp-MAP1), derived from Temporin-PTA, exhibits antibacterial properties sourced from the skin secretions of the Malaysian fire-bellied frog. An innovative sensing layer was developed for the electrochemical biorecognition of diverse pathogens: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy differentiated microorganisms based on distinct electrochemical responses. The sensor layer, composed of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) associated with Hp-MAP1, exhibited varying levels of charge transfer resistance (RCT) for different microorganisms. Gram-negative species, especially P. aeruginosa, displayed higher RCT values, indicating better impedimetric responses. Excellent LODs were observed for P. aeruginosa (0.60), K. pneumoniae (0.42), E. coli (0.67), and S. aureus (0.59), highlighting the efficacy of the MWCNTs/Hp-MAP1 biosensor in microbial identification. The MWCNTs/Hp-MAP1 biosensor platform presents a promising and effective microbial identification strategy with potential healthcare applications to mitigate HAIs and enhance patient care.

Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 255:116243. [PMID: 38547645 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116243] [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: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/15/2024]
Abstract
Fungal infections are a significant global health problem, particularly affecting individuals with weakened immune systems. Moreover, as uncontrolled antibiotic and immunosuppressant use increases continuously, fungal infections have seen a dramatic increase, with some strains developing antibiotic resistance. Traditional approaches to identifying fungal strains often rely on morphological characteristics, thus owning limitations, such as struggles in identifying several strains or distinguishing between fungal strains with similar morphologies. This review explores the multifaceted impact of fungi infections on individuals, healthcare providers, and society, highlighting the often-underestimated economic burden and healthcare implications of these infections. In light of the serious constraints of traditional fungal identification methods, this review discusses the potential of plasmonic nanoparticle-based biosensors for fungal infection identification. These biosensors can enable rapid and precise fungal pathogen detection by exploiting several readout approaches, including various spectroscopic techniques, colorimetric and electrochemical assays, as well as lateral-flow immunoassay methods. Moreover, we report the remarkable impact of plasmonic Lab on a Chip technology and microfluidic devices, as they recently emerged as a class of advanced biosensors. Finally, we provide an overview of smartphone-based Point-of-Care devices and the associated technologies developed for detecting and identifying fungal pathogens.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a pathogen that infects wounds and burns and causes severe infections in immunocompromised humans. The high virulence, the rise of antibiotic-resistant strains, and the easy transmissibility of P. aeruginosa necessitate its fast detection and control. The gold standard for detecting P. aeruginosa, the plate culture method, though reliable, takes several days to complete. Therefore, developing accurate, rapid, and easy-to-use diagnostic tools for P. aeruginosa is highly desirable. Nanomaterial-based biosensors are at the forefront of detecting P. aeruginosa and its secondary metabolites. This review summarises the biorecognition elements, biomarkers, immobilisation strategies, and current state-of-the-art biosensors for P. aeruginosa. The review highlights the underlying principles of bioreceptor layer engineering and the design of optical, electrochemical, mass-based, and thermal biosensors based on nanomaterials. The advantages and disadvantages of these biosensors and their future point-of-care applications are also discussed. This review outlines significant advancements in biosensors and sensors for detecting P. aeruginosa and its metabolites. Research efforts have identified biorecognition elements specific and selective towards P. aeruginosa. The stability, ease of preparation, cost-effectiveness, and integration of these biorecognition elements onto transducers are pivotal for their application in biosensors and sensors. At the same time, when developing sensors for clinically significant analytes such as P. aeruginosa, virulence factors need to be addressed, such as the sensor's sensitivity, reliability, and response time in samples obtained from patients. The point-of-care applicability of the developed sensor may be an added advantage since it enables onsite determination. In this context, optical methods developed for P. aeruginosa offer promising potential.

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
The rapid and sensitive detection of food contaminants is becoming increasingly important for timely prevention and treatment of foodborne disease. In this review, we discuss recent developments of electrochemical biosensors as facile, rapid, sensitive, and user-friendly analytical devices and their applications in food safety analysis, owing to the analytical characteristics of electrochemical detection and to advances in the design and production of bioreceptors (antibodies, DNA, aptamers, peptides, molecular imprinted polymers, enzymes, bacteriophages, etc.). They can offer a low limit of detection required for food contaminants such as allergens, pesticides, antibiotic traces, toxins, bacteria, etc. We provide an overview of a broad range of electrochemical biosensing designs and consider future opportunities for this technology in food control.

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic, autoimmune disease that primarily affects connective tissue. SSc can be classified into limited cutaneous (lSSc) and diffuse cutaneous (dSSc). Oncostatin M receptor (sOSMR) is an important inflammatory biomarker expressed in the serum of patients with autoimmune diseases. A nanoengineered immunosensor surface was developed. The biosensor was composed of a conductive layer of polypyrrole, electrodeposited gold nanoparticles, and sOSMR protein for anti-human OSMR monoclonal antibody biorecognition. The electrochemical response evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy indicated the detection of the target analyte present in clinical samples from lSSc and dSSc patients. The voltammetric anodic shift for lSSc specimens was 82.7% ± 0.9-93.6% ± 3.2, and dSSc specimens was 118.7 ± 2.6 to 379.6 ± 2.6, revealing a differential diagnostic character for SSc subtypes. The sensor platform was adapted for identifying sOSMR, using anti-OSMR antibodies as bioreceptors. With a linear response range estimated from 0.005 to 500 pg mL-1 and a limit of detection of 0.42 pg mL-1, the sensing strategy demonstrated high sensitivity in identifying the human OSMR protein in clinical samples. The proposed biosensor is a promising and innovative tool for SSc-related biomarker research.

Abstract
Temporins are short peptides secreted by frogs from all over the world. They exert antimicrobial activity, mainly against Gram-positive bacteria, including resistant pathogens; recent studies highlight other possible applications of these peptides as anticancer or antiviral agents. This review is meant to describe the main features of temporins produced by different ranid genera. Due to the abundance of published papers, we focus on the most widely investigated peptides. We report studies on their mechanism of action and three-dimensional structure in model systems mimicking bacterial membranes or in the presence of cells. The design and the antimicrobial activity of peptide analogues is also described, with the aim of highlighting elements that are crucial to improve the bioactivity of peptides while reducing their toxicity. Finally, a short section is dedicated to the studies aimed at applying these peptides as drugs, to produce new antimicrobial materials or in other technological uses.

Abstract
In recent years, antimicrobial peptides isolated from amphibian toxins have gained attention as new multifunctional drugs interacting with different molecular targets. We aimed to rationally design a new peptide from temporin-PTa. Hp-MAP3 (NH2-LLKKVLALLKKVL-COOH), net charge (+4), hydrophobicity (0.69), the content of hydrophobic residues (69%), and hydrophobic moment (0.73). For the construction of the analog peptide, the physicochemical characteristics were reorganized into hydrophilic and hydrophobic residues with the addition of lysines and leucines. The minimum inhibitory concentration was 2.7 to 43 μM against the growth of Gram-negative and positive bacteria, and the potential for biofilm eradication was 173.2 μM. Within 20 min, the peptide Hp-MAP3 (10.8 μM) prompted 100% of the damage to E. coli cells. At 43.3 μM, eliminated 100% of S. aureus within 5 min. The effects against yeast species of the Candida genus ranged from 5.4 to 86.6 μM. Hp-MAP3 presents cytotoxic activity against tumor HeLa at a concentration of 21.6 μM with an IC50 of 10.4 µM. Furthermore, the peptide showed hemolytic activity against murine erythrocytes. Structural studies carried out by circular dichroism showed that Hp-MAP3, while in the presence of 50% trifluoroethanol or SDS, an α-helix secondary structure. Finally, Amphipathic Hp-MAP3 building an important model for the design of new multifunctional molecules.

Abstract
The increasing number of multidrug resistance microorganisms is an alarming threat, and their rapid detection is essential to prevent nosocomial, foodborne, or waterborne infections. Many peptides derived from the venom of wasp Synoeca surinama have antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Synoeca-MP, an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) from mastoparan family, seems to increase bacterial membrane permeability, promoting cytotoxicity and membrane disruption. Here Synoeca-MP was evaluated as biorecognition element tethered over chitosan-coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4-Chit). The transducing layer of the biosensor was developed from the self-assembling of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) monolayer onto gold substrate. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) analyses confirmed the biointeraction between AMP and different pathogens membranes. The fabrication and performance of the biosensing assembly were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Detection of Enterococcus faecalis (G+), Klebsiella pneumoniae (G-), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (G-), and Candida tropicalis was assessed in a recognition range from 101 to 105 CFU.mL-1. An instrumental limit of detection of 10 CFU.mL-1 was obtained for each specimen. However, the device presented a preferential selectivity towards Gram-negative bacteria. The proposed biosensor is a sensitive, fast, and straightforward platform for microbial detection in aqueous samples, envisaged for environmental monitoring applications.
