[PMID: 38896979 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116500] [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: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
In this work, we present an electrochemical sensor for fast, low-cost, and easy detection of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in infected patients. The sensor is based on a selected combination of nanomaterials with a specific purpose. A bioconjugate formed by Few-layer bismuthene nanosheets (FLB) and tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs) is immobilized on Carbon Screen-Printed Electrodes (CSPE). The TDNs contain on the top vertex an aptamer that specifically binds to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, and a thiol group at the three basal vertices to anchor to the FLB. The TDNs are also marked with a redox indicator, Azure A (AA), which allows the direct detection of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein through changes in the current intensity of its electrolysis before and after the biorecognition reaction. The developed sensor can detect SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with a detection limit of 1.74 fg mL-1 directly in nasopharyngeal swab human samples. Therefore, this study offers a new strategy for rapid virus detection since it is versatile enough for different viruses and pathogens.

Abstract
The number of multi-drug-resistant bacteria has increased over the last few decades, which has caused a detrimental impact on public health worldwide. In resolving antibiotic resistance development among different bacterial communities, new antimicrobial agents and nanoparticle-based strategies need to be designed foreseeing the slow discovery of new functioning antibiotics. Advanced research studies have revealed the significant disinfection potential of two-dimensional nanomaterials (2D NMs) to be severed as effective antibacterial agents due to their unique physicochemical properties. This review covers the current research progress of 2D NMs-based antibacterial strategies based on an inclusive explanation of 2D NMs' impact as antibacterial agents, including a detailed introduction to each possible well-known antibacterial mechanism. The impact of the physicochemical properties of 2D NMs on their antibacterial activities has been deliberated while explaining the toxic effects of 2D NMs and discussing their biomedical significance, dysbiosis, and cellular nanotoxicity. Adding to the challenges, we also discussed the major issues regarding the current quality and availability of nanotoxicity data. However, smart advancements are required to fabricate biocompatible 2D antibacterial NMs and exploit their potential to combat bacterial resistance clinically.

Membrane potential dynamics unveil the promise of bioelectrical antimicrobial susceptibility Testing (BeAST) for anti-fungal screening. mBio 2024:e0130224. [PMID: 39041802 DOI: 10.1128/mbio.01302-24] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Membrane potential is a useful marker for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) due to its fundamental roles in cell function. However, the difficulties associated with measuring the membrane potential in microbes restrict its broad application. In this study, we present bioelectrical AST (BeAST) using the model fungus Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using fluorescent indicators [DiBAC4(3), ThT, and TMRM], we measured plasma and mitochondrial membrane-potential dynamics upon electric stimulation. We find that a 2.5 second electric stimulation induces hyperpolarization of plasma membrane lasting 20 minutes in vital S. cerevisiae, but depolarization in inhibited cells. The numerical simulation of FitzHugh-Nagumo model successfully recapitulates vitality-dependent dynamics. The model also suggests that the magnitude of plasma-membrane potential dynamics (PMD) correlates with the degree of inhibition. To test this prediction and to examine if BeAST can be used for assessing novel anti-fungal compounds, we treat cells with biogenic silver nanoparticles (bioAgNPs) synthesized using orange fruit flavonoids and Fusarium oxysporum. Comparing BeAST with optical density assay alongside various stressors, we show that PMD correlates with the magnitude of growth inhibitions. These results suggest that BeAST holds promise for screening anti-fungal compounds, offering a valuable approach to tackling antimicrobial resistance. IMPORTANCE Rapid assessment of the efficacy of antimicrobials is important for optimizing treatments, avoiding misuse and facilitating the screening of new antimicrobials. The need for rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is growing with the rise of antimicrobial resistance. Here, we present bioelectrical AST (BeAST). Combining time-lapse microscopy and mathematical modeling, we show that electrically induced membrane potential dynamics of yeast cells correspond to the strength of growth inhibition. Furthermore, we demonstrate the utility of BeAST for assessing antimicrobial activities of novel compounds using biogenic silver nanoparticles.

Abstract
An intelligent colorimetric sensing platform integrated with in situ immunomagnetic separation function was developed for ultrasensitive detection of Escherichia coli O157: H7 (E. coli O157: H7) in food. Captured antibody modified magnetic nanoparticles (cMNPs) and detection antibody/horseradish peroxidase (HRP) co-functionalized AuNPs (dHAuNPs) were firstly synthesized for targeted enrichment and colorimetric assay of E. coli O157: H7, in which remarkable signal amplification was realized by loading large amounts of HRP on the surface of AuNPs. Coupling with the optical collimation attachments and embedded magnetic separation module, a highly integrated optical device was constructed, by which in situ magnetic separation and high-quality imaging of 96-well microplates containing E. coli O157: H7 was achieved with a smartphone. The concentration of E. coli O157: H7 could be achieved in one-step by performing digital image colorimetric analysis of the obtained image with a custom-designed app. This biosensor possesses high sensitivity (1.63 CFU/mL), short detecting time (3 h), and good anti-interference performance even in real-sample testing. Overall, the developed method is expected to be a novel field detection platform for foodborne pathogens in water and food as well as for the diagnosis of infections due to its portability, ease of operation, and high feasibility.

Abstract
Rapid detection of microbes is a key feature for monitoring food quality. Unfortunately, current detection systems rely on labor-intensive and time-consuming lab-based processes that are not suitable for point-of-interest applications and typically require several days before results are available. Here, we demonstrate a microfluidic system capable of rapidly concentrating, fluorescent staining, and detecting bacteria in unprocessed complex biological media such as milk. This concentration is done using a surface acoustic wave-driven microfluidic device which operates based on the Bjerknes force, a force generated on one particle by another in its close proximity. We exploit this effect by exciting a tightly packed bed of 50 μm polystyrene microparticles temporarily with surface acoustic waves within a microfluidic device to capture and release bacterial cells on demand. The bacterial cells are fluorescently stained during capture and then detected using fluorescence microscopy upon release. This device offers a high capturing efficiency (>80%) and a 34 Colony Forming Units (CFU)/mL limit of detection, which is 1 order of magnitude below that of plate counting at 30 CFU per standard 100 μL plate (or 300 CFU/mL). This can be attained in just 1 h of processing at 10 μL/min. With this system, we demonstrate that bacterial detection from extremely low concentration samples down to the order of ∼10 CFU/mL is possible without requiring any additional external pre- or postprocessing.

Abstract
Traditional methods for the detection of pathogenic bacteria are time-consuming, less efficient, and sensitive, which affects infection control and bungles illness. Therefore, developing a method to remedy these problems is very important in the clinic to diagnose the pathogenic diseases and guide the rational use of antibiotics. Here, microfluidic electrochemical integrated sensor (MEIS) has been investigated, functionally for rapid, efficient separation and sensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria. Three-dimensional macroporous PDMS and Au nanotube-based electrode are successfully assembled into the modeling microchip, playing the functions of "3D chaotic flow separator" and "electrochemical detector," respectively. The 3D chaotic flow separator enhances the turbulence of the fluid, achieving an excellent bacteria capture efficiency. Meanwhile, the electrochemical detector provides a quantitative signal through enzyme-linked immunoelectrochemistry with improved sensitivity. The microfluidic electrochemical integrated sensor could successfully isolate Candida albicans (C. albicans) in the range of 30-3,000,000 CFU in the saliva matrix with over 95% capture efficiency and sensitively detect C. albicans in 1 h in oral saliva samples. The integrated device demonstrates great potential in the diagnosis of oral candidiasis and is also applicable in the detection of other pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
We present the design, fabrication, and testing of a low-cost, miniaturized detection system that utilizes chemiluminescence to measure the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy unit in biological systems, in water samples. The ATP-luciferin chemiluminescent solution was faced to a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) for highly sensitive real-time detection. This system can detect ATP concentrations as low as 0.2 nM, with a sensitivity of 79.5 A/M. Additionally, it offers rapid response times and can measure the characteristic time required for reactant diffusion and mixing within the reaction volume, determined to be 0.3 ± 0.1 s. This corresponds to a diffusion velocity of approximately 44 ± 14 mm2/s.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has advanced significantly, particularly in biomedicine, showing promise for nanomaterial applications. Bacterial infections pose persistent public health challenges due to the lack of rapid pathogen detection methods, resulting in antibiotic overuse and bacterial resistance, threatening the human microbiome. Nanotechnology offers a solution through nanoparticle-based materials facilitating early bacterial detection and combating resistance. This study explores recent research on nanoparticle development for controlling microbial infections using various nanotechnology-driven detection methods. These approaches include Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) Sensors, Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) Sensors, Optoelectronic-based sensors, Bacteriophage-Based Sensors, and nanotechnology-based aptasensors.

Abstract
Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) emerges as a significantly worrisome pathogen associated with foodborne illnesses, emphasizing the imperative for creating precise detection tools. In this investigation, we developed a sensitive colorimetric biosensor for detecting E. coli O157:H7. It was constructed using a nanozyme comprised of Au@Fe3O4 NPs, which was fabricated and subsequently modified with an aptamer (Apt). The nanozyme harnesses its inherent peroxidase-like activity to facilitate the transformation of reduced TMB into its oxidized form in the presence of H2O2, resulting in a noticeable shift to a blue color. However, the presence of E. coli O157:H7 effectively diminished the absorbance of oxidized TMB. Consequently, the normalized absorbance at 652 nm demonstrates a linear decrease corresponding to concentrations of E. coli O157:H7 within the range of 101 to 108 CFU mL-1 with a low limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) of 3 CFU mL-1.

Abstract
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification, LAMP, is nowadays the most popular isothermal nucleic acid amplification technique, and as such, several commercial, ready-to-use master mixes have flourished. Unfortunately, independent studies to determine their performance are limited. The current study performed an independent evaluation of the existing ready-to-use commercial LAMP master mixes WarmStart® LAMP Kit, LavaLAMP™ DNA Master Mix, Saphir Bst Turbo GreenMaster, OptiGene Fast Master Mix ISO-004, and SynLAMP Mix. To reduce bias, three different genes, namely ttr (Salmonella spp.), rfbE (E. coli O157), and hly (Listeria monocytogenes), were targeted. The comparison was based on amplification speed, performance with decreasing DNA concentrations, and the effect of five typical LAMP reaction additives (betaine, DMSO, pullulan, TMAC, and GuHCl). Significant differences were observed among the different master mixes. OptiGene provided the fastest amplification and showed less detrimental effects associated with the supplements evaluated. Out of the chemicals tested, pullulan provided the best results in terms of amplification speed. It is noteworthy that the different additives impacted the master mixes differently. Overall, the current study provides insights into the performance of commercial LAMP master mixes, which can be of value for the scientific community to better select appropriate reagents when developing new methods.

Abstract
Foodborne illnesses can be infectious and dangerous, and most of them are caused by bacteria. Some common food-related bacteria species exist widely in nature and pose a serious threat to both humans and animals; they can cause poisoning, diseases, disabilities and even death. Rapid, reliable and cost-effective methods for bacterial detection are of paramount importance in food safety and environmental monitoring. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (LFIA) and electrochemical methods have been widely used in food safety and environmental monitoring. In this paper, the recent developments (2013-2023) covering PCR, LFIA and electrochemical methods for various bacterial species (Salmonella, Listeria, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli)), considering different food sample types, analytical performances and the reported limit of detection (LOD), are discussed. It was found that the bacteria species and food sample type contributed significantly to the analytical performance and LOD. Detection via LFIA has a higher average LOD (24 CFU/mL) than detection via electrochemical methods (12 CFU/mL) and PCR (6 CFU/mL). Salmonella and E. coli in the Pseudomonadota domain usually have low LODs. LODs are usually lower for detection in fish and eggs. Gold and iron nanoparticles were the most studied in the reported articles for LFIA, and average LODs were 26 CFU/mL and 12 CFU/mL, respectively. The electrochemical method revealed that the average LOD was highest for cyclic voltammetry (CV) at 18 CFU/mL, followed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) at 12 CFU/mL and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) at 8 CFU/mL. LOD usually decreases when the sample number increases until it remains unchanged. Exponential relations (R2 > 0.95) between LODs of Listeria in milk via LFIA and via the electrochemical method with sample numbers have been obtained. Finally, the review discusses challenges and future perspectives (including the role of nanomaterials/advanced materials) to improve analytical performance for bacterial detection.

Abstract
The World Health Organization classifies leptospirosis as a significant public health concern, predominantly affecting impoverished and unsanitary regions. By using the Pensacola Bay System as a case study, this study examines the underappreciated susceptibility of developed subtropical coastal ecosystems such as the Pensacola Bay System to neglected zoonotic pathogens such as Leptospira. We analyzed 132 water samples collected over 12 months from 44 distinct locations with high levels of Escherichia coli (>410 most probable number/100 mL). Fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) concentrations were assessed using IDEXX Colilert-18 and Enterolert-18, and an analysis of water physiochemical characteristics and rainfall intensity was conducted. The LipL32 gene was used as a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) indicator to identify the distribution of Leptospira interrogans. The results revealed 12 instances of the presence of L. interrogans at sites with high FIB over various land cover and aquatic ecosystem types. Independent of specific rainfall events, a seasonal relationship between precipitation and elevated rates of fecal bacteria and leptospirosis was found. These findings highlight qPCR's utility in identifying pathogens in aquatic environments and the widespread conditions where it can be found in natural and developed areas.

Abstract
Ultra-sensitive LFA methods for pathogen detection commonly depended on tedious and time-consuming nucleic acid amplification. Here, a high affinity multivalent aptamer (multi-Apt) for S. aureus was obtained through exquisite engineering design. The scaffold and conformation of the multi-Apt were found to be key factors in the detection signal of aptsensors. After optimization, the binding affinity of the multi-Apt to S. aureus was improved by more than 8-fold from 135.9 nM to 16.77 nM. By the joint use of the multi-Apt and a multifunctional nanozyme Fe3O4@MOF@PtPd, a fast and ultra-sensitive LFA for S. aureus was developed (termed MA-MN LFA). In this method, a Fe3O4@MOF@PtPd nanozyme was modified with vancomycin and could efficiently capture and separate S. aureus. Moreover, the multi-Apt worked together with the nanozyme to bind with S. aureus to form a ternary complex at the same time, which simply the fabrication of LFA strip. The developed MA-MN LFA could detect S. aureus as low as 2 CFU/mL within 30 min and a wide linear range of 10-1 × 108 CFU/mL was obtained. The detection is easily operated, fast (can be completed within 30 min) and versatile for Gram-positive pathogens, thus has great potential as a powerful tool in pathogen detection.

Abstract
Global food systems can benefit significantly from continuous monitoring of microbial food safety, a task for which tedious operations, destructive sampling, and the inability to monitor multiple pathogens remain challenging. This study reports significant improvements to a paper chromogenic array sensor - machine learning (PCA-ML) methodology sensing concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted on a species-specific basis by pathogens by streamlining dye selection, sensor fabrication, database construction, and machine learning and validation. This approach enables noncontact, time-dependent, simultaneous monitoring of multiple pathogens (Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, and E. coli O157:H7) at levels as low as 1 log CFU/g with over 90% accuracy. The report provides theoretical and practical frameworks demonstrating that chromogenic response, including limits of detection, depends on time integrals of VOC concentrations. The paper also discusses the potential for implementing PCA-ML in the food supply chain for different food matrices and pathogens, with species- and strain-specific identification.

Akhavan-Mahdavi S, Mirbagheri MS, Assadpour E, Sani MA, Zhang F, Jafari SM. Electrospun nanofiber-based sensors for the detection of chemical and biological contaminants/hazards in the food industries. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 325:103111. [PMID: 38367336 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2024.103111] [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: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
Food contamination reveals a major health risk globally and presents a significant challenge for the food industry. It can stem from biological contaminants like pathogens, parasites, and viruses, or chemical contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, drugs, and hormones. There is also the possibility of naturally occurring hazardous chemicals. Consequently, the development of sensing platforms has become crucial to accurately and rapidly identify contaminants and hazards in food products. Electrospun nanofibers (NFs) offer a promising solution due to their unique three-dimensional architecture, large specific surface area, and ease of preparation. Moreover, NFs exhibit excellent biocompatibility, degradability, and adaptability, making monitoring more convenient and environmentally friendly. These characteristics also significantly reduce the detection process of contaminants. NF-based sensors have the ability to detect a wide range of biological, chemicals, and physical hazards. Recent research on NFs-based sensors for the detection of various food contaminants/hazards, such as pathogens, pesticide/drugs residues, toxins, allergens, and heavy metals, is presented in this review.

Rapid detection of viable microbes with 5-cyano-2,3-di-(p-tolyl)tetrazolium chloride and 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein diacetate using a fibre fluorescence spectroscopy system. J Appl Microbiol 2024; 135:lxae047.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the efficacy of two commercially available viability dyes, 5-cyano-2,3-di-(p-tolyl)tetrazolium chloride (CTC) and 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein diacetate (CFDA), in reporting on viable cell concentration and species using an all-fibre fluorometer. METHODS AND RESULTS Four bacterial species (two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative) commonly associated with food poisoning or food spoilage (Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus) were stained with CTC or CFDA and the fibre fluorometer was used to collect full fluorescence emission spectra. A good correlation between concentration and fluorescence intensity was found for Gram-negative bacteria between 107 and 108 colony-forming units (CFU) ml-1. There was no correlation with concentration for Gram-positive bacteria; however, the information in the CTC and CFDA spectra shows the potential to distinguish Gram-negative cells from Gram-positive cells, although it may simply reflect the overall bacterial metabolic activity under staining conditions from this study. CONCLUSIONS The limit of detection (LoD) is too high in the dip-probe approach for analysis; however, the development of an approach measuring the fluorescence of single cells may improve this limitation. The development of new bacteria-specific fluorogenic dyes may also address this limitation. The ability to differentiate bacteria using these dyes may add value to measurements made to enumerate bacteria using CTC and CFDA.

Abstract
Due to the growing demand for detection technologies, there has been significant interest in the development of integrated dual-modal sensing technologies, which involve combining two signal transduction channels into a single technique, particularly in the context of food safety. The integration of two detection signals not only improves diagnostic performance by reducing assumptions, but also enhances diagnostic functions with increased application flexibility, improved accuracy, and a wider detection linear range. The top two output signals for emerging dual-modal probes are fluorescent and colorimetric, due to their exceptional advantages for real-time sensitive sensing and point-of-care applications. With the rapid progress of nanotechnology and material chemistry, the integrated colorimetric/fluorimetric dual-mode systems show immense potential in sensing foodborne pathogenic bacteria. In this comprehensive review, we present a detailed summary of various colorimetric and fluorimetric dual-modal sensing methods, with a focus on their application in detecting foodborne bacteria. We thoroughly examine the sensing methodologies and the underlying principles of the signal transduction systems, and also discuss the challenges and future prospects for advancing research in this field.

Abstract
High-throughput detection of bacteria at low levels is critical in public health, food safety, and first response. Herein, for the first time, we present a platform based on droplet microfluidics coupling with the recombinase aided amplification (RAA)-assisted one-pot clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats together with CRISPR-associated proteins 13a (CRISPR/Cas13a) assay, and droplet encoding strategy for accurate and sensitive determination of nucleic acids from various foodborne pathogens. The workflow takes full advantage of CRISPR/Cas13a signal amplification and droplet confinement effects, which enhances the detection sensitivity and enables end-point quantitation. Meanwhile, by varying the color of droplets, the number of bacteria detected at the same time is greatly improved. It possesses the capability to simultaneously detect seven different types of foodborne pathogens. Notably, the system is also applied to real food samples with satisfactory results. Overall, in view of superiorities in high sensitivity, outstanding selectivity, and large-scale multiplexing, the one-pot CRISPR/Cas13a-based droplet microfluidic system could be expanded and universalized for identifying other bacteria.

Abstract
In recent years, the enormous demand for swabs for clinical use has promoted their relevance and, consequently, brought the environmental issues due to their single use and lack of biodegradability to the attention of the healthcare industry. Swabs consist of a stick that facilitates their easy handling and manoeuvrability even in complex districts and an absorbent tip designed to uptake and release biological samples. In this study, we focused on the fabrication of an innovative biodegradable poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofiber swab tip using the electrospinning technique. The innovative swab tip obtained showed comparable uptake and release capacity of protein and bacterial species (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus) with those of the commercial foam-type swab. In this way, the obtained swab can be attractive and suitable to fit into this panorama due to its low-cost process, easy scalability, and good uptake and release capabilities.

Abstract
Severe antimicrobial resistance calls for developing rapid, sensitive and affordable methodological platform for clinical diagnosis of bacterial infection. Herein, a paper-based analytical device (PAD) for fluorescent (FL) detection and antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) was fabricated by defining 96 hydrophilic microzones on a filter paper using a handheld stamp dipped with liquid wax. The size of microzones was designed to be consistent with traditional 96-well microplate, thus the FL signals can be collected by a commercialized microplate reader. Streptavidin was immobilized into the microzones by chitosan-glutaraldehyde crosslinking reaction, and then biotinylated bacteriophage tail fiber protein (TFP) was conjugated through biotin-streptavidin affinity system. TFP and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labeled antimicrobial peptide were used as capture agent and signal probe, respectively, for FL detection of P. aeruginosa on the PAD. The linear range for quantifying P. aeruginosa is 1.0 × 103 CFU/mL to 1.0 × 107 CFU/mL, with a detection limit of 137 CFU/mL. The PAD was also applied to conduct AST of P. aeruginosa for imipenem, meropenem, cefepime, amikacin, and gentamicin, and the results are consistent with the traditional broth dilution method. The PAD provides an affordable diagnosis platform for bacterial infection, especially in resource-limited institutes and countries.

Abstract
Studies on the antibacterial activity of the essential oil of E. billardieri are limited. In this study, we identified this herb as a natural complex effective against several bacteria by employing disk diffusion and broth microdilution susceptibility methods. Primary estimation of the antimicrobial effect of this herbal compound by disk diffusion method showed that the oil could inhibit the growth of the tested bacteria by the appearance of haloes between 8.25 and 21.25 mm. In the next step, the oil was found to be active against all 24 tested Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria in the broth media, at minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging from 0.67 to 34.17 g L-1. Furthermore, Enterococcus faecalis and Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens were the most sensitive food and plant pathogenic bacteria, respectively. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis was conducted to assign the ingredients present in the oil; 34 different components representing 95.71% of the total oil were identified, with n-hexadecanoic acid being the dominant component, followed by 2-Pentadecanone, 6,10,14-trimethyl, 1H-Indene, 1-ethylideneoctahydro-, and Cinnamyl tiglate. These findings demonstrate, for the first time, a broad spectrum of the antibacterial capacity of E. billardieri. Based on these observations, the oil could be applied as a natural preservative with the potential for designing novel products. Its bioactive agents can also be isolated for further use in the food and agricultural industries.

Abstract
A figure-actuated microfluidic biosensor was developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of Salmonella typhimurium using immunomagnetic separation to separate target bacteria and rolling circle amplification (RCA) combined with CRISPR/Cas12a to amplify the detection signal. The magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) modified with the capture antibodies (MNPs@Ab1) and RCA primer linked with recognized antibodies (primer@Ab2) were first used to react with S. typhimurium, resulting in the formation of MNPs@Ab1-S. typhimurium-primer@Ab2 complexes. Then, the RCA and CRISPR/Cas12a reagents were successively pumped into the chamber and incubated at the appropriate conditions. With the help of a 3D-printed signal detector, the fluorescence signal was collected and analyzed using the smartphone APP for the determination of bacterial concentration. This biosensor exhibited a wide linear range for the detection of S. typhimurium with a low limit of detection of 1.93 × 102 CFU/mL and a mean recovery of about 106% in the spiked milk sample.

Abstract
Sepsis is a critical disease caused by the abrupt increase of bacteria in human blood, which subsequently causes a cytokine storm. Early identification of bacteria is critical to treating a patient with proper antibiotics to avoid sepsis. However, conventional culture-based identification takes a long time. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is not so successful because of the complexity and similarity in the genome sequence of some bacterial species, making it difficult to design primers and thus less suitable for rapid bacterial identification. To address these issues, several new technologies have been developed. Recent advances in nanotechnology have shown great potential for fast and accurate bacterial identification. The most promising strategy in nanotechnology involves the use of nanoparticles, which has led to the advancement of highly specific and sensitive biosensors capable of detecting and identifying bacteria even at low concentrations in very little time. The primary drawback of conventional antibiotics is the potential for antimicrobial resistance, which can lead to the development of superbacteria, making them difficult to treat. The incorporation of diverse nanomaterials and designs of nanomaterials has been utilized to kill bacteria efficiently. Nanomaterials with distinct physicochemical properties, such as optical and magnetic properties, including plasmonic and magnetic nanoparticles, have been extensively studied for their potential to efficiently kill bacteria. In this review, we are emphasizing the recent advances in nano-biotechnologies for bacterial identification and anti-bacterial properties. The basic principles of new technologies, as well as their future challenges, have been discussed.

Abstract
Nanochannel-based confinement effect is a fascinating signal transduction strategy for high-performance sensing, but only size confinement is focused on while other confinement effects are unexplored. Here, a highly integrated nanochannel-electrodes chip (INEC) is created and a size/volume-dual-confinement enzyme catalysis model for rapid and sensitive bacteria detection is developed. The INEC, by directly sandwiching a nanochannel chip (60 µm in thickness) in nanoporous gold layers, creates a micro-droplet-based confinement electrochemical cell (CEC). The size confinement of nanochannel promotes the urease catalysis efficiency to generate more ions, while the volume confinement of CEC significantly enriches ions by restricting diffusion. As a result, the INEC-based dual-confinement effects benefit a synergetic enhancement of the catalytic signal. A 11-times ion-strength-based impedance response is obtained within just 1 min when compared to the relevant open system. Combining this novel nanoconfinement effects with nanofiltration of INEC, a separation/signal amplification-integrated sensing strategy is further developed for Salmonella typhimurium detection. The biosensor realizes facile, rapid (<20 min), and specific signal readout with a detection limit of 9 CFU mL-1 in culturing solution, superior to most reports. This work may create a new paradigm for studying nanoconfined processes and contribute a new signal transduction technique for trace analysis application.

Abstract
Fast and sensitive identification of foodborne bacteria in complex samples is the key to the prevention and control of microbial infections. Herein, an ultrasensitive lateral flow assay (LFIA) based on multilayered fluorescent nanofilm (GO/DQD)-guided signal amplification was developed for the rapid and quantitative determination of Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhi). The film-like GO/DQD was prepared through the electrostatic mediated layer-by-layer assembly of numerous carboxylated CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) onto an ultrathin graphene oxide (GO) nanosheet, which possessed advantages including higher QD loading, larger surface areas, superior luminescence, and better stability, than traditional spherical nanomaterials. The antibody-modified GO/DQD can effectively attach onto a target bacterial cell to form a GO/DQD-bacteria immunocomplex containing almost ten thousand QDs, thus greatly improving the detection sensitivity of LFIA. The constructed GO/DQD-LFIA biosensor achieved the rapid and sensitive detection of S. typhi in 14 min with detection limits of as low as 9 cells/mL. Moreover, compared with traditional LFIA techniques for bacteria detection, the proposed assay exhibited excellent stability and accuracy in real food samples and enormously improved sensitivity (2-3 orders of magnitude), demonstrating its great potential in the field of rapid diagnosis.

Abstract
The field of biosensor development is fueled by innovations in new functional transduction materials and technologies. Material innovations promise to extend current sensor hardware limitations, reduce analysis costs, and ensure broad application of sensor methods. Optical sensors are particularly attractive because they enable sensitive and noninvasive analyte detection in near real-time. Optical transducers convert physical, chemical, or biological events into detectable changes in fluorescence, refractive index, or spectroscopic shifts. Thus, in addition to sophisticated biochemical selector designs, smart transducers can improve signal transmission and amplification, thereby greatly facilitating the practical applicability of biosensors, which, to date, is often hampered by complications such as difficult replication of reproducible selector-analyte interactions within a uniform and consistent sensing area. In this context, stimuli-responsive and optically active Janus emulsions, which are dispersions of kinetically stabilized biphasic fluid droplets, have emerged as a novel triggerable material platform that provides as a versatile and cost-effective alternative for the generation of reproducible, highly sensitive, and modular optical sensing layers. The intrinsic and unprecedented chemical-morphological-optical coupling inside Janus droplets has facilitated optical signal transduction and amplification in various chemo- and biosensor paradigms, which include examples for the rapid and cost-effective detection of major foodborne pathogens. These initial demonstrations resulted in detection limits that rival the capabilities of current commercial platforms. This trend article aims to present a conceptual summary of these initial efforts and to provide a concise and comprehensive overview of the pivotal kinetic and thermodynamic principles that govern the ability of Janus droplets to sensitively and selectively respond to and interact with bacteria.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by pathogens are a health burden, but traditional pathogen identification methods are complex and time-consuming. In this work, we have developed well-defined, multifunctional copolymers with rhodamine B dye synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using fully oxygen-tolerant photoredox/copper dual catalysis. ATRP enabled the efficient synthesis of copolymers with multiple fluorescent dyes from a biotin-functionalized initiator. Biotinylated dye copolymers were conjugated to antibody (Ab) or cell-wall binding domain (CBD), resulting in a highly fluorescent polymeric dye-binder complex. We showed that the unique combination of multifunctional polymeric dyes and strain-specific Ab or CBD exhibited both enhanced fluorescence and target selectivity for bioimaging of Staphylococcus aureus by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. The ATRP-derived polymeric dyes have the potential as biosensors for the detection of target DNA, protein, or bacteria, as well as bioimaging.

Abstract
Rapid, sensitive, and accurate identification of pathogens is vital for preventing and controlling fish disease, reducing economic losses in aquaculture, and interrupting the spread of food-borne diseases in human populations. Herein, we proposed a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) cascaded dual-signal amplification platform for the ultrasensitive and specific detection of pathogenic microorganisms. A couple of specific primers for target bacterial 16S rRNAs were used to obtain amplified target single-stranded DNAs (AT-ssDNA). Then, AT-ssDNA initiated HCR amplification along with the opening of fluorophore (FAM) and a quencher (BHQ1) labeled hairpin reporter probe (H1), and the FAM fluorescence signal recovered. The proposed strategy could achieve a detection limit down to 0.31 CFU/mL for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), 0.49 CFU/mL for Escherichia coli (E. coli) in buffer, and a linear range from 1 to 1 × 106 CFU/mL for S. aureus, 1 to 1 × 107 CFU/mL for E. coli. Furthermore, this platform enabled sensitive and precise detection of pathogenic microorganisms in complex samples such as fish blood and different organ tissues (large intestine, gallbladder, heart, liver, ren, gill, skin), which shows great potential in disease prevention and control in aquatic products.

Abstract
A classic problem in preservation is the microbes can grow in low-moisture foods. In this paper, the water sorption, and thermodynamic properties of glucose/WPI solid matrices were measured, while their molecular mobility was analyzed and associated with the microbial growth of D. Hansenii at various aw and 30 °C. Although the sorption isotherms, Tg, and relaxation processes of studied matrices were affected by aw and WPI, the microbial growth showed highly dependent on water mobility rather than aw. Hence, we introduced water usability (Uw), derived from the mobility difference between system-involved water and liquid pure water explicating from the classical thermodynamic viewpoint, to describe the dynamic changes of water mobility in glucose/WPI matrices. Despite to aw, the yeast growth rate was enhanced at high Uw matrices concomitantly with a rapid cell doubling time. Therefore, the proposed Uw provides a better understanding of the water relationships of microorganisms in food preservation.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is a major threat to global public health, which urgently requires useful tools to rapidly analyze pathogens in the early stages of infection. Herein, we develop a smart macrophage (Mø)-based bacteria detector, which can recognize, capture, enrich and detect different bacteria and their secreted exotoxins. We transform the fragile native Møs into robust gelated cell particles (GMøs) using photo-activated crosslinking chemistry, which retains membrane integrity and recognition capacity for different microbes. Meanwhile, these GMøs equipped with magnetic nanoparticles and DNA sensing elements can not only respond to an external magnet for facile bacteria collection, but allow the detection of multiple types of bacteria in a single assay. Additionally, we design a propidium iodide-based staining assay to rapidly detect pathogen-associated exotoxins at ultralow concentrations. Overall, these nanoengineered cell particles have broad applicability in the analysis of bacteria, and could potentially be used for the management and diagnosis of infectious diseases.

Abstract
In light of severe health risks of foodborne pathogenic bacterial diseases, the potential utility of point-of-care (POC) sensors is recognized for pathogens detection. In this regard, lateral flow assay (LFA) is a promising and user-friendly option for such application among various technological approaches. This article presents a comprehensive review of "lock-and-key" recognizer-encoded LFAs with respect to their working principles and detection performance against foodborne pathogenic bacteria. For this purpose, we describe various strategies for bacteria recognition including the antibody-based antigen-antibody interactions, nucleic acid aptamer-based recognition, and phage-mediated targeting of bacterial cells. In addition, we also outline the technological challenges along with the prospects for the future development of LFA in food analysis. The LFA devices built based upon many recognition strategies are found to have great potential for rapid, convenient, and effective POC detection of pathogens in complex food matrixes. Future developments in this field should emphasize the development of high-quality bio-probes, multiplex sensors, and intelligent portable readers.

Abstract
Worldwide, there has been growing interest in the research, development, and commercialization of functional bioactive components and nutraceuticals. As a result of consumer awareness of the relationship between diet, health, and disease, the consumption of plant-derived bioactive components has recently increased in the past two decades. Phytochemicals are bioactive nutrient plant chemicals in fruits, vegetables, grains, and other plant foods that may provide desirable health benefits beyond essential nutrition. They may reduce the risk of major chronic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes, high blood pressure, and psychotic diseases and have antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties, cholesterol-lowering, antithrombotic, or anti-inflammatory effects. Phytochemicals have been recently studied and explored for various purposes, such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, flavors, fragrances, coloring agents, biopesticides, and food additives. These compounds are known as secondary metabolites and are commonly classified as polyphenols, terpenoids (terpenes), tocotrienols and tocopherols, carotenoids, alkaloids and other nitrogen-containing metabolites, stilbenes and lignans, phenolic acids, and glucosinates. Thus, this chapter aims to define the general chemistry, classification, and essential sources of phytochemicals, as well as describe the potential application of phytochemicals in the food and nutraceuticals industry, explaining the main properties of interest of the different compounds. Finally, the leading technologies involving micro and nanoencapsulation of phytochemicals are extensively detailed to protect them against degradation and enhance their solubility, bioavailability, and better applicability in the pharmaceutical, food, and nutraceutical industry. The main challenges and perspectives are detailed.

Abstract
Plant pathogenic microorganisms cause substantial yield losses in several economically important crops, resulting in economic and social adversity. The spread of such plant pathogens and the emergence of new diseases is facilitated by human practices such as monoculture farming and global trade. Therefore, the early detection and identification of pathogens is of utmost importance to reduce the associated agricultural losses. In this review, techniques that are currently available to detect plant pathogens are discussed, including culture-based, PCR-based, sequencing-based, and immunology-based techniques. Their working principles are explained, followed by an overview of the main advantages and disadvantages, and examples of their use in plant pathogen detection. In addition to the more conventional and commonly used techniques, we also point to some recent evolutions in the field of plant pathogen detection. The potential use of point-of-care devices, including biosensors, have gained in popularity. These devices can provide fast analysis, are easy to use, and most importantly can be used for on-site diagnosis, allowing the farmers to take rapid disease management decisions.

Abstract
The current status of microbiological testing methods for the determination of viable bacteria in complex sample matrices, such as food samples, is the focus of this review. Established methods for the enumeration of microorganisms, particularly, the 'gold standard' agar plating method for the determination of total aerobic viable counts (TVC), bioluminescent detection of total ATP, selective molecular methods (immunoassays, DNA/RNA amplification, sequencing) and instrumental methods (flow cytometry, Raman spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, calorimetry), are analyzed and compared with emerging oxygen sensor-based respirometry techniques. The basic principles of optical O2 sensing and respirometry and the primary materials, detection modes and assay formats employed are described. The existing platforms for bacterial cell respirometry are then described, and examples of particular assays are provided, including the use of rapid TVC tests of food samples and swabs, the toxicological screening and profiling of cells and antimicrobial sterility testing. Overall, O2 sensor-based respirometry and TVC assays have high application potential in the food industry and related areas. They detect viable bacteria via their growth and respiration; the assay is fast (time to result is 2-8 h and dependent on TVC load), operates with complex samples (crude homogenates of food samples) in a simple mix-and-measure format, has low set-up and instrumentation costs and is inexpensive and portable.

Abstract
In recent years, microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) produced by microbial metabolism have attracted more and more attention because they can be used to detect food early contamination and flaws. So far, many analytical methods have been reported for the determination of mVOCs in food, but few integrated review articles discussing these methods are published. Consequently, mVOCs as indicators of food microbiological contamination and their generation mechanism including carbohydrate, amino acid, and fatty acid metabolism are introduced. Meanwhile, a detailed summary of the mVOCs sampling methods such as headspace, purge trap, solid phase microextraction, and needle trap is presented, and a systematic and critical review of the analytical methods (ion mobility spectrometry, electronic nose, biosensor, and so on) of mVOCs and their application in the detection of food microbial contamination is highlighted. Finally, the future concepts that can help improve the detection of food mVOCs are prospected.

Abstract
Foodborne diseases caused by pathogens may threaten public health and the social economy. We demonstrated a method for identifying pathogenic Listeria monocytogenes using DNA logic operations. To achieve accurate species distinguishing, three specific sequences of Listeria monocytogenes genomic DNA were screened out and used as the feature sequences. Three complementary probes with tag modification were designed as sensing elements and exert affinity for magnetic beads, glucose oxidase (GOx), and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). To obtain a digital output (YES/NO answer) for rapid determination, a Boolean logic function was employed. Three sensing probes enabled the recognition of the target sequence (input) and the formation of a target DNA/probe hybrid. Through magnetic separation and affinity binding events, the target DNA/probes hybrid led to the construction of GOx/HRP enzyme cascade, which produced a visualized color signal (output) in the presence of substrates, glucose, and 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). A hybridization chain reaction (HCR) was coupled with this sensing scaffold to increase the binding of the enzyme cascade and amplify the output signal. The logical functional biosensor showed high selectivity of Listeria monocytogenes over other Listeria species. This sensing platform provides a simple, sensitive, and highly specific method for detecting Listeria monocytogenes.

Abstract
Label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been proposed as a promising bacterial detection technique. However, the quality of the collected bacterial spectra can be affected by the time between sample acquisition and the SERS measurement. This study evaluated how storage stress stimuli influence the label-free SERS spectra of Pseudomonas syringae samples stored in phosphate buffered saline. The results indicate that when faced with nutrient limitations and changes in osmatic pressure, samples at room temperature (25 °C) exhibit more significant spectral changes than those stored at cold temperature (4 °C). At higher temperatures, bacterial communities secrete extracellular biomolecules that induce programmed cell death and result in increases in the supernatant SERS signals. Surviving cells consume cellular components to support their metabolism, thus leading to measurable declines in cell SERS intensity. Two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy analysis suggests that cellular component signatures decline sequentially in the following order: proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. Extracellular nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates are secreted in turn. After subtracting the SERS changes resulting from storage, we evaluated bacterial response to viral infection. P. syringae SERS profile changes enable accurate bacteriophage Phi6 quantification over the range of 104-1010 PFU/mL. The results indicate that storage conditions impact bacterial label-free SERS signals and that such influences need to be accounted for and if possible avoided when detecting bacteria or evaluating bacterial response to stress stimuli.

Abstract
Effective identification of multiple pathogenic bacteria in unknown samples is important for disease prevention and control but remains a challenge yet. A single-mode array-based sensing approach is simple and sensitive, but it usually relies on the use of multiple cross-reactive receptors to construct sensor arrays, which is cumbersome and insufficiently accurate. Here, we developed a sensor array with colorimetric and photothermal dual mode of differentiating multiple pathogenic bacteria. The sensor array was based on boronic acid-functionalized Au-Fe3O4 nanoparticles (BA-GMNPs), which not only possess localized surface plasmon resonance properties, showing a burgundy color similar to that of AuNPs, but also exhibit mild superparamagnetism, allowing for the differentiation of bacteria before and after binding to the nanoparticles. Immobilization of BA-GMNPs on the bacterial cell surface by covalent bonding would diminish NaCl-induced assembly of BA-GMNPs. Different BA-GMNPs@bacterial complexes differed in their ability to resist assembly and produced different colorimetric and photothermal response signals. A unique molecular fingerprint of each bacterium was obtained by linear discriminant analysis of the response patterns, demonstrating an effective differentiation among the six species studied. Compared with single-mode sensing arrays based on multiple receptors, this method only requires the preparation of a single nanomaterial, which produces two signal outputs for the identification of multiple bacteria with better differentiation. It can distinguish not only multiple pathogenic bacteria but also Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, and, more importantly, it can perform preliminary discrimination of unknown samples.

Abstract
In assessing food microbial safety, the presence of Escherichia coli is a critical indicator of fecal contamination. However, conventional detection methods require the isolation of bacterial macrocolonies for biochemical or genetic characterization, which takes a few days and is labor-intensive. In this study, we show that the real-time object detection and classification algorithm You Only Look Once version 4 (YOLOv4) can accurately identify the presence of E. coli at the microcolony stage after a 3-h cultivation. Integrating with phase-contrast microscopic imaging, YOLOv4 discriminated E. coli from seven other common foodborne bacterial species with an average precision of 94%. This approach also enabled the rapid quantification of E. coli concentrations over 3 orders of magnitude with an R2 of 0.995. For romaine lettuce spiked with E. coli (10 to 103 CFU/g), the trained YOLOv4 detector had a false-negative rate of less than 10%. This approach accelerates analysis and avoids manual result determination, which has the potential to be applied as a rapid and user-friendly bacterial sensing approach in food industries. IMPORTANCE A simple, cost-effective, and rapid method is desired to identify potential pathogen contamination in food products and thus prevent foodborne illnesses and outbreaks. This study combined artificial intelligence (AI) and optical imaging to detect bacteria at the microcolony stage within 3 h of inoculation. This approach eliminates the need for time-consuming culture-based colony isolation and resource-intensive molecular approaches for bacterial identification. The approach developed in this study is broadly applicable for the identification of diverse bacterial species. In addition, this approach can be implemented in resource-limited areas, as it does not require expensive instruments and significantly trained human resources. This AI-assisted detection not only achieves high accuracy in bacterial classification but also provides the potential for automated bacterial detection, reducing labor workloads in food industries, environmental monitoring, and clinical settings.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria are pathogens widely spread that are capable of causing mild to life-threatening diseases in human beings or other organisms. Rationally organizing the simple helical motif of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) tiles into designed ensemble structures with architecturally defined collective properties could lead to promising biosensing applications for pathogen detection. In this work, we facilely engineered multivalent hairpin aptamer probe-tethered DNA monolayers (MHAP-DNA monolayers) and applied them to build a fluorescence polarization-responsive circular isothermal strand displacement amplification (FP-CSDA) for Salmonella assay. In this system, the MHAP-DNA monolayers were constructed based on a dsDNA tile-directed self-assembly. A FAM-labeled reporting probe (RPFAM) with an inherent low FP signal serves as the signaling unit. The presence of target Salmonella leads to the trapping of F RPFAM into the super DNA monolayers via a target-triggered CSDA to peel off the tethered hairpin-structured aptamer probes (HAPs) responsible for the binding of RPFAM. As a result, the FP signal of the FAM fluorophore can be remarkably amplified due to the recycling of target Salmonella and the capacity of structural DNA materials to strongly restrict the free rotation of the FAM fluorophore but without a fluorescence quenching effect. Experimental results demonstrate that the FP assay is able to detect Salmonella with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 7.2 × 100 CFU/mL and high specificity. As a proof-of-concept study, we envision our study using DNA nanoarchitecture as the foundation to modulate CSDA-based FP assays, promising to open up a new avenue for disease diagnosis, food safety detection, and biochemical studies.

Abstract
The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains is seriously endangering the global healthcare system. There is an urgent need for combining imaging with therapies to realize the real-time monitoring of pathological condition and treatment progress. It also provides guidance on exploring new medicines and enhance treatment strategies to overcome the antibiotic resistance of existing conventional antibiotics. In this review, we provide a thorough overview of the most advanced image-guided approaches for bacterial diagnosis (e.g., computed tomography imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, photoacoustic imaging, ultrasound imaging, fluorescence imaging, positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography imaging, and multiple imaging), and therapies (e.g., photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, chemodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, immunotherapy, and multiple therapies). This review focuses on how to design and fabricate photo-responsive materials for improved image-guided bacterial theranostics applications. We present a potential application of different image-guided modalities for both bacterial diagnosis and therapies with representative examples. Finally, we highlighted the current challenges and future perspectives image-guided approaches for future clinical translation of nano-theranostics in bacterial infections therapies. We envision that this review will provide for future development in image-guided systems for bacterial theranostics applications.

Abstract
Outbreaks of foodborne diseases mediated by food microorganisms and toxins remain one of the leading causes of disease and death worldwide. It not only poses a serious threat to human health and safety but also imposes a huge burden on health care and socioeconomics. Traditional methods for the removal and detection of pathogenic bacteria and toxins in various samples such as food and drinking water have certain limitations, requiring a rapid and sensitive strategy for the enrichment and separation of target analytes. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) exhibit excellent performance in this field due to their fascinating properties. The strategy of combining biorecognition elements with MNPs can be used for fast and efficient enrichment and isolation of pathogens. In this review, we describe new trends and practical applications of magnetic nanoseparation technology in the detection of foodborne microorganisms and toxins. We mainly summarize the biochemical modification and functionalization methods of commonly used magnetic nanomaterial carriers and discuss the application of magnetic separation combined with other instrumental analysis techniques. Combined with various detection techniques, it will increase the efficiency of detection and identification of microorganisms and toxins in rapid assays.
