Abstract
To enhance the DNA/RNA amplification efficiency and inhibitor tolerance of Bst DNA polymerase, four chimeric Bst DNA polymerase by fusing with a DNA-binding protein Sto7d and/or a highly hydrophobic protein Hp47 to Bst DNA polymerase large fragment. One of chimeric protein HpStBL exhibited highest inhibitor tolerance, which retained high active under 0.1 U/μL sodium heparin, 0.8 ng/μL humic acid, 2.5× SYBR Green I, 8 % (v/v) whole blood, 20 % (v/v) tissue, and 2.5 % (v/v) stool. Meanwhile, HpStBL showed highest sensitivity (93.75 %) to crude whole blood infected with the African swine fever virus. Moreover, HpStBL showed excellent reverse transcriptase activity in reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification, which could successfully detect 0.5 pg/μL severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 RNA in the presence of 1 % (v/v) stools. The fusion of two domains with different functions to Bst DNA polymerase would be an effective strategy to improve Bst DNA polymerase performance in direct loop-mediated isothermal amplification and reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification detection, and HpStBL would be a promising DNA polymerase for direct African swine fever virus/severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 detection due to simultaneously increased inhibitor tolerance and reverse transcriptase activity.

Oslan SNH, Yusof NY, Lim SJ, Ahmad NH. Rapid and sensitive detection of Salmonella in agro-Food and environmental samples: A review of advances in rapid tests and biosensors. J Microbiol Methods 2024; 219:106897. [PMID: 38342249 DOI: 10.1016/j.mimet.2024.106897] [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: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
Salmonella is as an intracellular bacterium, causing many human fatalities when the host-specific serotypes reach the host gastrointestinal tract. Nontyphoidal Salmonella are responsible for numerous foodborne outbreaks and product recalls worldwide whereas typhoidal Salmonella are responsible for Typhoid fever cases in developing countries. Yet, Salmonella-related foodborne disease outbreaks through its food and water contaminations have urged the advancement of rapid and sensitive Salmonella-detecting methods for public health protection. While conventional detection methods are time-consuming and ineffective for monitoring foodstuffs with short shelf lives, advances in microbiology, molecular biology and biosensor methods have hastened the detection. Here, the review discusses Salmonella pathogenic mechanisms and its detection technology advancements (fundamental concepts, features, implementations, efficiency, benefits, limitations and prospects). The time-efficiency of each rapid test method is discussed in relation to their limit of detections (LODs) and time required from sample enrichment to final data analysis. Importantly, the matrix effects (LODs and sample enrichments) were compared within the methods to potentially speculate Salmonella detection from environmental, clinical or food matrices using certain techniques. Although biotechnological advancements have led to various time-efficient Salmonella-detecting techniques, one should consider the usage of sophisticated equipment to run the analysis by moderately to highly trained personnel. Ultimately, a fast, accurate Salmonella screening that is readily executed by untrained personnels from various matrices, is desired for public health procurement.

Abstract
Drug resistance in pathogenic bacteria has become a major threat to global health. The misuse of antibiotics has increased the number of resistant bacteria in the absence of rapid, accurate, and cost-effective diagnostic tools. Here, an amplification-free CRISPR-Cas12a time-resolved fluorescence immunochromatographic assay (AFC-TRFIA) is used to detect drug-resistant Salmonella. Multi-locus targeting in combination crRNA (CcrRNA) is 27-fold more sensitive than a standalone crRNA system. The lyophilized CRISPR system further simplifies the operation and enables one-pot detection. Induction of nucleic acid fixation via differentially charged interactions reduced the time and cost required for flowmetric chromatography with enhanced stability. The induction of nucleic acid fixation via differentially charged interactions reduces the time and cost required for flowmetric chromatography with enhanced stability. The platform developed for the detection of drug-resistant Salmonella has an ultra-sensitive detection limit of 84 CFU mL-1 within 30 min, with good linearity in the range of 102 -106 CFU mL-1 . In real-world applications, spiked recoveries range from 76.22% to 145.91%, with a coefficient of variation less than 10.59%. AFC-TRFIA offers a cost-effective, sensitive, and virtually equipment-independent platform for preventing foodborne illnesses, screening for drug-resistant Salmonella, and guiding clinical use.

Abstract
In the past few years, with the in-depth research of functional nucleic acids and isothermal amplification techniques, their applications in the field of biosensing have attracted great interest. Since functional nucleic acids have excellent flexibility and convenience in their structural design, they have significant advantages as recognition elements in biosensing. At the same time, isothermal amplification techniques have higher amplification efficiency, so the combination of functional nucleic acids and isothermal amplification techniques can greatly promote the widespread application of biosensors. For the purpose of further improving the performance of biosensors, this review introduces several widely used functional nucleic acids and isothermal amplification techniques, as well as their classification, basic principles, application characteristics, and summarizes their important applications in the field of biosensing. We hope to provide some references for the design and construction of new tactics to enhance the detection sensitivity and detection range of biosensing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Salmonella as an important food-borne zoonotic bacterial pathogen, infection in ducks is a recessive infection, however, it can also cause high mortality and threat to food safety. Preventing and controlling the infection and transmission of Salmonella in ducks critically require rapid and sensitive detection method. Full-length Salmonella-specific protein PagN was induced and expressed in E.coil BL21 and was purified as an antigen to establish an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (iELSA) detection kit. RESULTS The recombinant PagN protein has a molecular weight of 43 kDa containing a His-tag, was recognized by an anti-Salmonella positive serum by Western blot assay. The optimal concentration of PagN as a coating antigen in the iELISA was 1 μg/mL, and the optimal dilution of enzyme-labeled secondary antibody was 1:4000 (0.025 μg/mL). The cutoff OD450 value was established at 0.268. The iELISA kit showed high selectivity since no cross-reaction with E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus was observed. iELISA method and Dot-blot test were performed on 100 clinical sera samples collected from duck farms, and the actual coincidence rate was 89% (89/100). 613 duck serum samples from 3 different farms were tested using established method and commercial ELISA kit. The concordance between the two methods was 94.1%. CONCLUSION Anti-PagN based iELISA can serve as a useful tool for diagnosis of Salmonella infection.

Abstract
Salmonella is a type of common foodborne pathogen of global concern, seriously endangering human health. In molecular biological detection of Salmonella, the method of amplifying DNA often faces the problem of aerosol pollution. In this study, a microfluidic chip was developed to integrate loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas12a system to detect Salmonella. The LAMP reaction solution was initially injected into the chamber to amplify at 65 °C for 20 min; the CRISPR/Cas12a reaction solution was subsequently injected to mix with the amplicons for fluorescent signal production at 43 °C for 30 min. Then, the results can be confirmed by naked eyes under 495 nm light or by a fluorescence immunochromatographic reader. The detection limit of this method for Salmonella DNA was 118 pg/μL. The sensitivity and specificity of this method was 100%. Furthermore, this method was used to detect Salmonella after enrichment for 4 h in salmon and chicken samples spiked with 30 CFU/25 g, and was verified to have a stable detection capability in real samples. The microfluidic chip integrated with the LAMP and CRISPR/Cas12a system not only provides a possibility of highly sensitive endpoint fluorescent visual detection of a foodborne pathogen, but also greatly eliminates the risk of aerosol contamination.

Abstract
Demonstration of the Salmonella Typhimurium detection system was shown utilizing a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) biosensor and signal enhancement by gold nanoparticles. In this study, a benchtop system of a QCM biosensor was utilized for the detection of Salmonella Typhimurium. It was designed with a peristaltic pump system to achieve immobilization of antibodies, detection of Salmonella, and the addition of gold nanoparticles to the sensor. As a series of biochemical solutions were introduced to the surface, the proposed system was able to track the changes in the resonant frequency which were proportional to the variations of mass on the sensor. For antibody immobilization, polyclonal antibodies were immobilized via self-assembled monolayers to detect Salmonella O-antigen. Subsequently, Salmonella Typhimurium was detected by antibodies and the average frequency before and after detecting Salmonella was compared. The highest frequency shifts were −26.91 Hz for 109 CFU/mL while the smallest frequency shift was −3.65 Hz corresponding to 103 CFU/mL. For the specificity tests, non-Salmonella samples such as E. coli, Listeria, and Staphylococcus resulted in low cross-reactivity. For signal amplification, biotinylated antibodies reacted to Salmonella followed by streptavidin—100 nm AuNPs through biotin-avidin interaction. The frequency shifts of 103 CFU/mL showed −28.04 Hz, and consequently improved the limit of detection.

Abstract
This study reported an automatic centrifugal system for rapid quantification of foodborne pathogenic bacteria based on immunomagnetic separation (IMS) for target bacteria enrichment and recombinase aided amplification (RAA) for nucleic acid detection. First, target bacteria were captured by immune magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to form magnetic bacteria, which were purified and enriched by magnetic separation. Then, nucleic acid extraction buffer was used to extract genomic DNA of magnetic bacteria and dissolve lyophilized RAA reagent. Finally, isothermal amplification and fluorescent detection were conducted for bacteria quantification. Bacteria magnetic separation, nucleic acid extraction and fluorescent RAA detection were elaborately achieved in a centrifugal disc with unique functional chambers and multistage siphon channels. A supporting device was developed to automatically and successively perform the programmed centrifugal protocol, including temperature control for isothermal amplification and fluorescence detection for real-time RAA analysis. Under optimal conditions, this centrifugal system enabled Salmonella detection as low as 10 CFU mL-1 in spiked chicken samples in 1 h with average recovery of 105.6% and average standard deviation of 8.4%. It has been demonstrated as an alternative for rapid detection of Salmonella.

Abstract
Staphylococcus spp., especially Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), is an important pathogen in hospital-acquired infection and food poisoning. Here, we developed a multienzyme isothermal rapid amplification combined with duplex quantitative PCR (duplex MIRA-qPCR) method, which can simultaneously detect the S. aureus species-specific conserved gene FMN-bgsfp and the Staphylococcus genus-specific conserved gene tuf. This assay enabled the amplification of DNA within 20 min at a constant temperature of 39 °C. Specificity analysis indicated that all nine common Staphylococcus species were positive and non-Staphylococcus spp. were negative for tuf gene, whereas S. aureus was positive, non-aureus Staphylococci species and non-Staphylococcus spp. were negative for FMN-bgsfp gene, suggesting that duplex MIRA-qPCR exhibited high specificity. Meanwhile, the sensitivity was tested and the limit of detection (LoD) was 3 × 102 CFU/mL. The coefficient variation values ranged from 0.13% to 2.09%, indicating that the assay had good repeatability. Furthermore, all the nine common Staphylococcus species (including S. aureus) could be detected from four kinds of simulated samples and the LoD of S. aureus was 8.56 × 103 CFU/mL. In conclusion, the duplex MIRA-qPCR has advantages of stronger specificity, lower detection threshold, shorter detection time, and simpler operation, which is an effective tool to detect S. aureus and non-aureus Staphylococci spp. infections rapidly.

Abstract
Accurate, sensitive, and rapid detection of Salmonella and determination of whether it carries drug resistance genes plays an important role in guiding the clinical medication of salmonellosis and laying a foundation for studying the mechanism of drug resistance transmission of Salmonella. Here, a novel nontransferable, ultrasensitive dual detection platform (Cas12a-Ddp) was developed. The round cap allowed for temporary storage of more Cas12a detection solution than flat cap, enabling one-pot assays and reducing aerosol contamination. The results were read out in dual mode by the microplate reader and UV visualization to achieve sensitive dual-target detection of the virulence genes and drug resistance genes of Salmonella simultaneously, with the possibility of onsite detection. Cas12a-Ddp was combined with multiple polymerase chain reactions and recombinase polymerase amplifications successively. An ultrasensitive dual detection limit of 1 CFU/mL was obtained without any cross-reaction within 40 min. This was an improvement of 1-2 orders of magnitude over the existing methods. Cas12a-Ddp overcame the influence of proteins and fat in liquid matrix foods. It was used for the detection of drug-resistant Salmonella in milk and skim milk powder, also with the dual detection limit of 1 CFU/mL and spiked recovery of 68.58%-158.49%. It was also used for the analysis of Salmonella resistance rate analysis. The Cas12a-Ddp provided a reliable, fast, sensitive, and practical multi-CRISPR detection platform.

Abstract
Rapid screening of foodborne pathogens is key to preventing food poisoning. In this study, a slidable centrifugal disc was developed for automatic and multi-channel detection of Salmonella typhimurium using Flinders Technology Associates (FTA) cards for nucleic acid extraction and recombinase aided amplification (RAA) for nucleic acid detection. The slidable FTA switching and centrifugal fluidic control were elaborately combined to achieve fully automatic operations, including centrifugation of the bacterial sample to obtain the concentrated bacteria, heating and drying of the FTA card to extract the nucleic acids, washing of the FTA card to remove the impurities, and RAA detection of the extracted DNA to determine the concentration. Under the optimal conditions, this slidable centrifugal disc was able to detect 10 CFU mL-1 in a spiked chicken meat supernatant in 1 h with an average recovery of 101.8% and an average standard deviation of 6.5%. This disc has been demonstrated as an alternative for sample-in-result-out detection of Salmonella and has shown potential for simultaneous detection of multiple bacteria.

Abstract
Coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus is a foodborne pathogen considered one of the causes of food-related disease outbreaks. Like S. aureus, Staphylococcus capitis, Staphylococcus caprae, and S. epidermidis are opportunistic pathogens causing clinical infections and food contamination. The objective of our study was to develop a rapid, accurate, and monitoring technique to detect four Staphylococcus species in food. Four novel molecular targets (GntR family transcriptional regulator for S. aureus, phosphomannomutase for S. epidermidis, FAD-dependent urate hydroxylase for S. capitis, and Gram-positive signal peptide protein for S. caprae) were mined based on pan-genome analysis. Primers targeting molecular target genes showed 100% specificity for 100 non-target reference strains. The detection limit in pure cultures and artificially contaminated food samples was 102 colony-forming unit/mL for S. aureus, S. capitis, S. caprae, and S. epidermidis. Moreover, real-time polymerase chain reaction successfully detected strains isolated from various food matrices. Thus, our method allows an accurate and rapid monitoring of Staphylococcus species and may help control staphylococcal contamination of food.
