Abstract
Here, we present a method for Salmonella detection using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats associated with the CRISPR-associated protein 12a-hybridization chain reaction (CRISPR/Cas12a-HCR) system combined with polymerase chain reaction/recombinase-assisted amplification (PCR/RAA) technology. The approach relies on the Salmonella invA gene as a biorecognition element and its amplification through PCR and RAA. In the presence of the target gene, Cas12a, guided by crRNA, recognizes and cleaves the amplification product, initiating the HCR. Fluorescently labeled single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) H1 and H2 were introduced, and the Salmonella concentration was determined based on the fluorescence intensity from the triggered HCR. Both assays demonstrate high specificity, sensitivity, simplicity, and rapidity. The detection range was 2 × 101-2 × 109 CFU/mL, with an LOD of 20 CFU/mL, and the entire process enabled specific and rapid Salmonella detection within 85-105 min. Field-incurred spiked recovery tests were conducted in mutton and beef samples using both assays, demonstrating satisfactory recovery and accuracy in animal-derived foods. By combining CRISPR/Cas12a with hybridization chain reaction technology, this study presents a rapid and sensitive Salmonella detection method that is crucial for identifying pathogenic bacteria and monitoring food safety.

Abstract
The sensitive and selective detection of pathogenic bacteria represents an essential approach in food safety analysis and clinical diagnostics. We report the development of a simple, rapid, and low-cost electrochemical biosensing strategy for the detection of pathogenic bacteria with ultrasensitivity and high specificity. The biosensor relies on the target and aptamer binding-triggered two-stage nicking enzyme signal amplification (NESA) and three-way junction probe-mediated electrochemical signal transduction. In the presence of the target S. typhimurium, the specific binding of S. typhimurium and aptamer results in the release of a primer, which hybridizes with HAP1 and initiates an extension reaction with the aid of polymerase and dNTPs. A specific recognition site for Nt.BsmaI is generated in the DNA duplex; thus, the produced DNA is nicked and the secondary primer is released (named recycle I). Subsequently, the reaction solution supplemented with a helper DNA is dropped on the electrode surface, and a three-way junction probe containing a specific recognition site for Nt.BsmaI is thus formed. The MB-labeled probe is nicked with the help of Nt.BsmaI and the dissociated primer-helper DNA duplex combines with another HAP2 (named recycle II). Thus, a remarkably decreased electrochemical signal is generated because the electroactive MB is far away from the electrode surface. As far as we know, this work is the first time that NESA and three-way junction probe-mediated electrochemical signal transduction has been used for pathogenic bacteria detection. Under optimal conditions, the results reveal that the calibration plot obtained for S. typhimurium is approximately linear from 9.6 to 9.6 × 105 cfu mL-1 with the limit of detection of 8 cfu mL-1. Additionally, the proposed strategy has been successfully applied to the quantitative assay of S. typhimurium in the real samples. Therefore, the NESA-based biosensing strategy might create a useful and practical platform for pathogenic bacteria identification, and the related food safety analysis and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive detection of infectious bacteria is in all-time high demand to prevent the further spread of the infection and allow early medical intervention. In this study, we use rotational diffusometry (RD), a natural phenomenon characterized by Janus particles, to detect pathogens like Escherichia coli by performing amplification of specific genes. This biosensing method is used to measure the change in viscosity of the fluid in the presence and absence of DNA in the solution by capturing images of modified microbeads at 10 Hz by a CCD camera followed by cross-correlation algorithm analysis. Using rotational diffusometry, we have achieved E. coli detection with 50 pg/μL DNA with a measurement time of 30 s and a sample volume of 2 μL. This sensitivity was achieved with 30 thermal cycles for three different amplicons, viz., 84, 147, and 246 bp. Meanwhile, in the case of 10 and 20 thermal cycles, the detection sensitivity was achieved with 0.1 and 1 ng/μL DNA concentrations for a 246 bp amplicon. Compared with conventional PCR, this technique appears to improve the detection time, thereby reaching a turnaround time of less than 60 min. Other studies showed a successful identification of DNA amplification up to 10 thermal cycles with different sizes of amplicons. The effect of DNA concentration, amplicon size, and the number of thermal cycles on the detection of E. coli was examined in detail and represented in the form of three maps. These maps show the clear difference and the advantages of RD method in comparison with conventional PCR. This unconventional and rapid biosensing method can be used further for downstream application of nucleic acid amplification-based pathogen detection and early disease control.

Abstract
In this work, we present a low-field magnetic resonance imaging (LF-MRI) aptasensor based on the difference in magnetic behavior of two magnetic nanoparticles with diameters of 10 (MN10) and 400 nm (MN400) for the rapid detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). First, specific anti-P. aeruginosa aptamers were covalently immobilized onto magnetic nanoparticles via 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide chemistry for the capture of the target bacteria. In the presence of P. aeruginosa, an MN10-bacteria-MN400 (MBM) complex was formed after binding between the aptamers on magnetic nanoparticles and P. aeruginosa cells. When a magnetic field was applied, the MBM complex and free MN400 were rapidly magnetically separated, and free MN10 left in the solution worked as a T2 (transverse relaxation time) single readout in MRI measurement. Under optimum conditions, the LF-MRI platform provides both image analysis and quantitative detection of P. aeruginosa, with a detection limit of 100 cfu/mL. The feasibility and specificity of the aptasensor were demonstrated in detecting real food, orange juice, and drinking water samples and validated using plate counting methods.

Abstract
Real-time biohazard detectors must be developed to facilitate the rapid implementation of appropriate protective measures against foodborne pathogens. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a promising technique for the real-time detection of hazardous bacteria (HB) in the field. However, distinguishing among various HBs that exhibit similar C, N, O, H, or trace metal atomic emissions complicates HB detection by LIBS. This paper proposes the use of LIBS and chemometric tools to discriminate Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Escherichia coli on slide substrates. Principal component analysis (PCA) and the genetic algorithm (GA) were used to select features and reduce the size of spectral data. Several models based on the artificial neural network (ANN) and the support vector machine (SVM) were built using the feature lines as input data. The proposed PCA-GA-ANN and PCA-GA-SVM discrimination approaches exhibited correct classification rates of 97.5% and 100%, respectively.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assemble two types of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) kit that have the ability to visually detect Salmonella in ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables. The reaction results were obtained within 20-40 min after addition of DNA and can be discerned by the naked eye or an amplification plot. The stability of the LAMP wet kit was evident after multiple freezing and thawing cycles, and the one-step LAMP lyophilized kit was further evolved to allow ambient temperature transport for deployment in resource-limited settings. The cost-effective wet kit had the ability to detect minimum amounts of 1.8 CFU/ml Salmonella DNA without enrichment, while the sensitivity of the one-step LAMP lyophilized kit was only 9.8 × 103 CFU/ml. They both have good anti-interference, as they were both able to detect 2.1 × 102 CFU/ml Salmonella mixed with 106 CFU/ml four non-Salmonella strain mixture. Moreover, cucumber and lettuce that were contaminated with an initial inoculation of 1.7 CFU of Salmonella/10 g showed detection within a reaction time of 30 min after 10 h enrichment. The present research setup is a convenient and practical kit for Salmonella rapid detection that has good application prospects in food safety monitoring.

Abstract
A limit of detection of 200 CFU/mL of Salmonella typhi spiked in various sample matrices were achieved in 30 min. The sample matrices were raw/unprocessed milk, commercially available milk, juice from packed bottles, fresh juice from carts, potable water, turbid water and calf serum. The complete protocol comprised of three steps: (a) cell lysis (b) nucleic acid amplification and (c) an in situ optical detection. The cell lysis was carried out using a simple heating based protocol, while the loop-mediated isothermal amplification of DNA was carried out by an in-house designed and fabricated system. The developed system consists of an aluminum block fitted with two cartridge heaters along with a thermocouple. The system was coupled to a light source and spectrometer for a simultaneous in situ detection. Primers specific for STY2879 gene were used to amplify the nucleic acid sequence, isolated from S. typhi cells. The protocol involves 15 min of cell lysis and DNA isolation followed by 15 min for isothermal amplification and simultaneous detection. No cross-reactivity of the primers were observed at 106 CFU/mL of Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholerae, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella paratyphi A, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, Lysteria monocytogenes, Clostridium botulinum, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella havana. In addition, the system was able to detect S. typhi of 200 CFU/mL in a concoction of 106 CFU/mL of E. coli, 106 CFU/mL of V. cholerae, and 106 CFU/mL of hepatocyte-derived cellular carcinoma HUH7 cells. The proposed rapid diagnostic system shows a promising future in the field of food and medical diagnostics.

Abstract
Salmonella has represented the most common and primary cause of food poisoning in many countries for at least over 100 years. Its detection is still primarily based on traditional microbiological culture methods which are labor-intensive, extremely time consuming, and not suitable for testing a large number of samples. Accordingly, great efforts to develop rapid, sensitive and specific methods, easy to use, and suitable for multi-sample analysis, have been made and continue. Biosensor-based technology has all the potentialities to meet these requirements. In this paper, we review the features of the electrochemical immunosensors, genosensors, aptasensors and phagosensors developed in the last five years for Salmonella detection, focusing on the critical aspects of their application in food analysis.
