Abstract
BACKGROUND Bovine mastitis is one of the most widespread diseases affecting cattle, leading to significant losses for the dairy industry. Currently, the so-called gold standard in mastitis diagnosis involves determining the somatic cell count (SCC). Apart from a number of advantages, this method has one serious flaw: It does not identify the etiological factor causing a particular infection, making it impossible to introduce targeted antimicrobial therapy. This can contribute to multidrug-resistance in bacterial species. The diagnostic market lacks a test that has the advantages of SCC and also recognizes the species of pathogen causing the inflammation. Therefore, the aim of our study was to develop a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) based on elongation factor Tu for identifying most prevalent Gram-positive cocci responsible for causing mastitis including Streptococcus uberis, Streptococcus agalactiae and Staphylococcus aureus. RESULTS As a result, we showed that the assay for S. uberis detection demonstrated a specificity of 89.02%, a sensitivity of 43.59%, and an accuracy of 80.3%. In turn, the second variant - assay for Gram-positive cocci reached a specificity of 95.59%, a sensitivity of 43.28%, and an accuracy of 78.33%. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that EF-Tu is a promising target for LFIA and we have delivered evidence that further evaluation could improve test parameters and fill the gap in the mastitis diagnostics market.

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
Pathogens and their toxins can cause various diseases of different severity. Some of them may be fatal, and therefore early diagnosis and suitable treatment is essential. There are numerous available methods used for their rapid screening. Conventional laboratory-based techniques such as culturing, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are dominant. However, culturing still remains the "gold standard" for their identification. These methods have many advantages, including high sensitivity and selectivity, but also numerous limitations, such as long experiment-time, costly instrumentation, and the need for well-qualified personnel to operate the equipment. All these existing limitations are the reasons for the continuous search for a new solutions in the field of bacteria identification. For years, research has been focusing on the use of immunosensors in various types of toxin- and pathogen-detection. Compared to the conventional methods, immunosensors do not require well-trained personnel. What is more, immunosensors are quick, highly selective and sensitive, and possess the potential to significantly improve the pathogen and toxin diagnostic-processes. There is a very important potential use for them in various transport systems, where the risk of contamination by bioagents is very high. In this paper, the advances in the field of immunosensor usage in pathogenic microorganism- and toxin-detection, are described.

Abstract
The detection of pathogenic bacteria using biosensing techniques could be a potential alternative to traditional culture based methods. However, the low specificity and sensitivity of conventional biosensors, critically related to the choice of bio-recognition elements, limit their practical applicability. Mammalian antibodies have been widely investigated as biorecognition ligands due to high specificity and technological advancement in antibody production. However, antibody-based biosensors are not considered as an efficient approach due to the batch-to-batch inconsistencies as well as low stability. In recent years, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been increasingly investigated as ligands as they have demonstrated high stability and possessed multiple sites for capturing bacteria. The conjugation of chemo-selective groups with AMPs has allowed effective immobilization of peptides on biosensor surface. However, the specificity of AMPs is a major concern for consideration as an efficient ligand. In this article, we have reviewed the advances and concerns, particularly the selectivity of AMPs for specific detection of pathogenic bacteria. This review also focuses the state-of-the-art mechanisms, challenges and prospects for designing potential AMP conjugated biosensors. The application of AMP in different biosensing transducers such as electrochemical, optical and piezoelectric varieties has been widely discussed. We argue that this review would provide insights to design and construct AMP conjugated biosensors for the pathogenic bacteria detection.

Abstract
Immunoassays are practical and cost-effective approaches suitable for large-scale tuberculosis (TB) screening. This study identified new peptide mimotopes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and applied them in the serodiagnosis of TB. Thereby, linear (X15, X8CX8) and constrained (LX-4 and LX-8) phage display peptide libraries were screened with purified Immunoglobulin G antibodies from TB-positive patients, and eight mimotopes were selected. The mimotope peptides were screened using the SPOT-synthesis technique followed by immunoblotting. Peptides P.Mt.PD.4 and P.Mt.PD.7 demonstrated the highest binding affinity and were chemically synthesized and used as antigens for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assays. Experimental designs were used to optimize the assays and to assess each variable's influence. Peptide P.Mt.PD.7 was differentiated between positive and negative samples and achieved 100% sensitivity and specificity when tested on a 100-sera panel. Therefore, the selected peptide was applied to the ELISA assay as a screening method for diagnosing TB represents a potential tool for helping to combat the disease.

Abstract
Salmonella spp. is one of the most serious foodborne pathogens causing millions of infection cases annually, especially in resource-limited areas. The standard culture method (2-3 days) and current nucleic acid amplification-based testing are not suitable for on-site testing in rural areas with heavy Salmonella spp. burden. Here, we developed a colorimetric recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) method for fast and sensitive Salmonella spp. testing in 1 h. Specifically, the invA gene from the genomic DNA of Salmonella spp. was amplified isothermally to produce double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) amplicons, which were directly quantified by a photosensitization colorimetric assay. The proposed method offered the lowest detectable concentration of 5 × 103 colony-forming units/mL (cfu/mL), which is much lower than that of ELISA (105-107 cfu/mL). The detectable limit could be further pushed down to 3 cfu/mL upon coupling with bacteria pre-enrichment for 6 h. Analysis of synthetic milk samples confirmed the high precision (90%) and specificity (95%) of the method for Salmonella spp. testing. Moreover, use of a DNA releaser could further simplify the whole testing operation. Because RPA features low-temperature amplification (25-42 °C) without the need for specific instruments and the dsDNA-based photosensitization colorimetric assay served as a simple and facile readout for RPA, our method thus allows fast and low-cost Salmonella spp. testing in food samples.

Abstract
Salmonella is a major causative agent of foodborne illness and rapid identification of this pathogen is essential to prevent disease. Currently most assays require high bacterial burdens or prolonged enrichment to achieve acceptable performance. A reduction in testing time without loss of sensitivity is critical to allow food processors to safely decrease product holding time. To meet this need, a method was developed to detect Salmonella using luciferase reporter bacteriophages. Bacteriophages were engineered to express NanoLuc, a novel optimized luciferase originating from the deep-sea shrimp Oplophorus gracilirostris. NanoLuc-expressing bacteriophages had a limit of detection of 10-100 CFU per mL in culture without enrichment. Luciferase reporters demonstrated a broad host range covering all Salmonella species with one reporter detecting 99.3% of 269 inclusivity strains. Cross-reactivity was limited and only observed with other members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. In food matrix studies, a cocktail of engineered bacteriophages accurately detected 1 CFU in either 25 g of ground turkey with a 7 h enrichment or 100 g of powdered infant formula with a 16 h enrichment. Use of the NanoLuc reporter assay described herein resulted in a considerable reduction in enrichment time without a loss of sensitivity.

Abstract
Microbiological safety of the human environment and health needs advanced monitoring tools both for the specific detection of bacteria in complex biological matrices, often in the presence of excessive amounts of other bacterial species, and for bacteria quantification at a single cell level. Here, we discuss the existing electrochemical approaches for bacterial analysis that are based on the biospecific recognition of whole bacterial cells. Perspectives of such assays applications as emergency-use biosensors for quick analysis of trace levels of bacteria by minimally trained personnel are argued.

Abstract
This review presents the results of a study into the offering of rapid microbial detection assays to the Irish dairy industry. At the outset, a consultation process was undertaken whereby key stakeholders were asked to compile a list of the key microorganisms of interest to the sector. The resultant list comprises 19 organisms/groups of organisms divided into five categories: single pathogenic species (Cronobacter sakazakii, Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes); genera containing pathogenic species (Bacillus, Clostridium, Listeria, Salmonella; Staphylococcus); broad taxonomic groupings (Coliforms, Enterobacteriaceae, fecal Streptococci, sulfite reducing bacteria/sulfite reducing Clostridia [SRBs/SRCs], yeasts and molds); organisms displaying certain growth preferences or resistance as regards temperature (endospores, psychrotrophs, thermodurics, thermophiles); indicators of quality (total plate count, Pseudomonas spp.). A survey of the rapid assays commercially available for the 19 organisms/groups of organisms was conducted. A wide disparity between the number of rapid tests available was found. Four categories were used to summarize the availability of rapid assays per organism/group of organisms: high coverage (>15 assays available); medium coverage (5-15 assays available); low coverage (<5 assays available); no coverage (0 assays available). Generally, species or genera containing pathogens, whose presence is regulated-for, tend to have a good selection of commercially available rapid assays for their detection, whereas groups composed of heterogenous or even undefined genera of mainly spoilage organisms tend to be "low coverage" or "no coverage." Organisms/groups of organisms with "low coverage" by rapid assays include: Clostridium spp.; fecal Streptococci; and Pseudomonas spp. Those with "no coverage" by rapid assays include: endospores; psychrotrophs; SRB/SRCs; thermodurics; and thermophiles. An important question is: why have manufacturers of rapid microbiological assays failed to respond to the necessity for rapid methods for these organisms/groups of organisms? The review offers explanations, ranging from the technical difficulty involved in detecting as broad a group as the thermodurics, which covers the spores of multiple sporeforming genera as well at least six genera of mesophilic nonsporeformers, to the taxonomically controversial issue as to what constitutes a fecal Streptococcus or SRBs/SRCs. We review two problematic areas for assay developers: validation/certification and the nature of dairy food matrices. Development and implementation of rapid alternative test methods for the dairy industry is influenced by regulations relating to both the microbiological quality standards and the criteria alternative methods must meet to qualify as acceptable test methods. However, the gap between the certification of developer's test systems as valid alternative methods in only a handful of representative matrices, and the requirement of dairy industries to verify the performance of alternative test systems in an extensive and diverse range of dairy matrices needs to be bridged before alternative methods can be widely accepted and adopted in the dairy industry. This study concludes that many important dairy matrices have effectively been ignored by assay developers.

Abstract
Paratyphoid fever is caused by the bacterium Salmonellaenterica serovar Paratyphi (A, B and C), and contributes significantly to global disease burden. One of the major challenges in the diagnosis of paratyphoid fever is the lack of a proper gold standard. Given the absence of a licensed vaccine against S. Paratyphi, this diagnostic gap leads to inappropriate antibiotics use, thus, enhancing antimicrobial resistance. In addition, the symptoms of paratyphoid overlap with other infections, including the closely related typhoid fever. Since the development and utilization of a standard, sensitive, and accurate diagnostic method is essential in controlling any disease, this review discusses a new promising approach to aid the diagnosis of paratyphoid fever. This advocated approach is based on the use of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor and DNA probes to detect specific nucleic acid sequences of S. Paratyphi. We believe that this SPR-based genoassay can be a potent alternative to the current conventional diagnostic methods, and could become a rapid diagnostic tool for paratyphoid fever.

Abstract
Salmonella Typhimurium is a major cause of food poisoning. To solve the limitations of the routine enzyme linked immunosorbent assay such as laborious assay procedure, lack of long-term enzyme stability, and insufficient sensitivity, we provided a non-enzymatic colorimetric immunosorbent assay platform to overcome these problems. The highly photostable redox dye particles was constructed by silica particles (diameter = 598 ± 14.4 nm) loaded with methylene blue (Si-MB) and applied to be a label for immunoassay of S. Typhimurium. The sandwich assay format involved incubation of an analyte in a microplate wells modified with monoclonal anti-Salmonella, followed by exposure to a polyclonal anti-Salmonella/Si-MB bioconjugate and then measurement of absorbance at 598 nm. The platform had an assay time of 20 min, could detect heat-killed Salmonella with a limit of detection of 48 CFU mL-1 , and gave good recoveries in milk. The labels could be stored at 4 °C for 70 days without any deterioration.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Heidelberg causes foodborne infections and is a major threat to the food chain and public health. In this study, we aimed to develop a rapid molecular typing approach to identify Salmonella enterica serovar Heidelberg. Using comparative genomics, four serovar-specific gene fragments were identified, and a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with a propidium monoazide (PMA) pretreatment method was developed for simultaneous detection of viable Salmonella sp. (invA) and Salmonella Heidelberg (SeHA_C3258). The assay showed 100% specificity for all strains tested. The assay was able to distinguish effectively viable or dead cells with the PMA. The detection limit was 2.4 CFU/mL following 6 h of incubation in enrichment Luria-Bertani medium, and the assay could detect 1.7 × 102 CFU/mL in the presence of pork background flora. In artificially contaminated pork, real-time PCR detected inoculum levels of 1.15 CFU/25 g of pork after a 6 h enrichment. Thus, our findings indicated that this comparative genomics approach could be used to screen for serovar-specific fragments and that real-time PCR with PMA was a simple and reliable method for detecting viability of Salmonella species and Salmonella Heidelberg.

An impedimetric aptasensor for Shigella dysenteriae using a gold nanoparticle-modified glassy carbon electrode. Mikrochim Acta 2018; 185:538.

Abstract
This work describes an aptasensor for the foodborne pathogen Shigella dysenteriae (S. dysenteriae). A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by electrodeposition. Then, thiolated aptamer for S. dysenteriae detection was self-assembled on the surface of the modified GCE, and any free residual AuNPs were blocked with 6-mercapto-1-hexanol. The size, morphology, and distribution of the AuNPs were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy. Detection of S. dysenteriae was performed measurement of the charge transfer resistance (Rct) before and after addition of S. dysenteriae using hexacyanoferrate as an electrochemical probe. The interaction between the aptamer and outer-membrane proteins of S. dysenteriae lead to an increase in the Rct of the sensor. The assay has a linear dynamic range that extends from 101 to 106 CFU.mL-1 and a limit of detection of 100 CFU.mL-1. It can differentiate between alive S. dysenteriae and other pathogens. Dead S. dysenteriae cells do not have any effect on selectivity. Unpasteurized and pasteurized skim milk and some water samples were spiked with S. dysenteriae and then successfully examined by this method. The results were validated by real-time PCR. The method is fast, low-cost, highly sensitive, and specific. Hence, it represents a valuable tool in food quality control. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of a label free impedimetric aptasensor for Shigella dysenteriae using a glassy carbon electrode modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and 6-mercapto-1-hexanol (MCH). The limit of detection of this aptasensor is as low as 1 CFU.mL-1 for target bacteria.

Abstract
We report two label-free fluorescent aptasensor methods for the detection of S. typhimurium. In the first method, we have used a ''turn off'' approach in which the aptamer is first intercalated with SYBR Green I (SG), leading to a greatly enhanced fluorescence signal. The addition of S. typhimurium (approximately 1530-96938 CFU/mL), which specifically binds with its aptamer and releases SG, leads to a linear decrease in fluorescence intensity. The lowest detection limit achieved with this approach was in the range of 733 CFU/mL. In the second method, a ''turn on'' approach was designed for S. typhimurium through the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between Rhodamine B (RB) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). When the aptamer and AuNPs were mixed with RB, the fluorescence of RB was significantly quenched via FRET. The aptamer adsorbs to the AuNP surface to protect them from salt-induced aggregation, which leads to the fluorescence quenching of RB in presence of AuNPs. Upon the addition of S. typhimurium, S. typhimurium specifically binds with its aptamer and loses the capability to stabilize AuNPs. Thus, the salt easily induces the aggregation of AuNPs, resulting in the fluorescence recovery of the quenched RB. S. typhimurium concentrations ranging from 1530 to 96938 CFU/mL with the detection limit of 464 CFU/mL was achieved with this methodology. Given these data, some insights into the molecular interactions between the aptamer and the bacterial target are provided. These aptasensor methods also may be adapted for the detection of a wide variety of targets.

Abstract
The elimination of disease-causing microbes from the food supply is a primary goal and this review deals with the overall techniques available for detection of food-borne pathogens. Now-a-days conventional methods are replaced by advanced methods like Biosensors, Nucleic Acid-based Tests (NAT), and different PCR-based techniques used in molecular biology to identify specific pathogens. Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris, Escherichia coli, Campylobacter, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., Aspergillus spp., Fusarium spp., Penicillium spp., and pathogens are detected in contaminated food items that cause always diseases in human in any one or the other way. Identification of food-borne pathogens in a short period of time is still a challenge to the scientific field in general and food technology in particular. The low level of food contamination by major pathogens requires specific sensitive detection platforms and the present area of hot research looking forward to new nanomolecular techniques for nanomaterials, make them suitable for the development of assays with high sensitivity, response time, and portability. With the sound of these, we attempt to highlight a comprehensive overview about food-borne pathogen detection by rapid, sensitive, accurate, and cost affordable in situ analytical methods from conventional methods to recent molecular approaches for advanced food and microbiology research.

Abstract
Cronobacter species (Cronobacter spp.) are hazardous foodborne pathogens associated with baby food, powdered infant formula (PIF). To develop a rapid and sensitive method for simultaneous detection of seven Cronobacter spp. in PIF, an indirect non-competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (INC-ELISA) was developed based on a novel immunoglobulin G (IgG), anti-Cronobacter IgG. The developed INC-ELISA was able to detect seven Cronobacter spp. at concentrations ranging from (5.6 ± 0.30) × 10(3) to (2.1 ± 0.01) × 10(5) colony forming unit (CFU)/mL in pure culture. Further, INC-ELISA employing anti-Cronobacter IgG was applicable for analysis of PIF samples contaminated with less than <10 cells of Cronobacter spp. per 25 g of PIF in 36 h. The developed antibody showed slight cross-reactivity with Franconibacter pulveris (LMG 24057) at high concentration (10(8) CFU/mL). The INC-ELISA method displayed excellent specificity without compromising cross-reactivity with other foodborne pathogens. The INC-ELISA assay method developed in this study using a novel anti-Cronobacter IgG facilitated highly sensitive, efficient, and rapid detection of Cronobacter spp. in baby food.

Abstract
The quantification of interaction stoichiometry and binding constant between bacteria (or other microorganism) and (macro)molecules remains a challenging issue for which only a few adapted methods are available. In this paper, a new methodology was developed for the determination of the interaction stoichiometry and binding constant between bacteria and (macro)molecules. The originality of this work is to take advantage of the bacterial aggregation phenomenon to directly quantify the free ligand concentration in equilibrated bacteria-ligand mixtures using frontal analysis continuous capillary electrophoresis. The described methodology does not require any sample preparation such as filtration step or centrifugation. It was applied to the study of interactions between Erwinia carotovora and different generations of dendrigraft poly-L-lysines leading to quantitative information (i.e., stoichiometry and binding site constant). High stoichiometries in the order of 10(6)-10(7) were determined between nanometric dendrimer-like ligands and the rod-shaped micrometric bacteria. The effect of the dendrimer generation on the binding constant and the stoichiometry is discussed. Stoichiometries were compared with those obtained by replacing the bacteria by polystyrene microbeads to demonstrate the internalization of the ligands inside the bacteria and the increase of the specific surface via the formation of vesicles.

Abstract
Murine monoclonal antibodies to target Salmonella typhimurium flagellin and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were prepared and characterized. For the immunological detection of S. typhimurium, different pairs of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were tested in a sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) format. After comparison, a sandwich ELISA and immunochromatographic strip based on LPS MAbs was established to detect S. typhimurium. The determination limits of the immunochromatographic strip in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.1% Tween 20 (PBST) and pure milk sample were found to be 1.25 × 105 colony-forming units (cfu)/mL and 1.25 × 106 cfu/mL S. typhimurium, respectively. Results can be obtained with the naked eye in 10 min. Cross-reactivity was observed with Salmonella paratyphi B, but not S. paratyphi A or Salmonella enteritidis. The LPS MAbs based immunochromatographic strip is rapid and convenient to detect S. typhimurium in milk samples.

Abstract
The incidence of foodborne diseases has increased over the years and resulted in major public health problem globally. Foodborne pathogens can be found in various foods and it is important to detect foodborne pathogens to provide safe food supply and to prevent foodborne diseases. The conventional methods used to detect foodborne pathogen are time consuming and laborious. Hence, a variety of methods have been developed for rapid detection of foodborne pathogens as it is required in many food analyses. Rapid detection methods can be categorized into nucleic acid-based, biosensor-based and immunological-based methods. This review emphasizes on the principles and application of recent rapid methods for the detection of foodborne bacterial pathogens. Detection methods included are simple polymerase chain reaction (PCR), multiplex PCR, real-time PCR, nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA), loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and oligonucleotide DNA microarray which classified as nucleic acid-based methods; optical, electrochemical and mass-based biosensors which classified as biosensor-based methods; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and lateral flow immunoassay which classified as immunological-based methods. In general, rapid detection methods are generally time-efficient, sensitive, specific and labor-saving. The developments of rapid detection methods are vital in prevention and treatment of foodborne diseases.

Abstract
Exopolymers are known to be useful in improving sand aggregation and the development of biological soil crusts (BSCs). A facultative bacterium KLBB0001 was isolated from BSCs in the Gurbantunggut Desert in northwestern China. With the strong effective production of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), this strain exhibits a multifunctional role for sand stabilization and maintenance of water under laboratory conditions. Practical testing of the feasibility of its inoculation to speed up BSC recovery in the field was also conducted in this experiment. This strain stimulated the heterotrophic community assembly in the topsoil layer (0-2 cm) before the commencement of autotrophic cyanobacteria, while also significantly increasing the number of bacteria, actinomycetes, and content of total phosphorus, available nitrogen, and available phosphorus. However, the low nitrogenase activity (NA) (0.57 µmol/h) that was observed caused us to doubt the previous identification as Azotobacter Beijerinck that was based on physiological and biochemical properties. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that this strain was a member of the genus Paenibacillus. It exhibited the closest phylogenetic affinity and highest sequence similarity to the strain Paenibacillus mucilaginosus VKPM B-7519 (sequence similarity 99.698%), which is well known as a typical silicate-weathering bacteria that releases lots of nutritional ions from minerals and the soil. Because P. mucilaginosus can excrete carbonic anhydrase (CA) to capture atmospheric CO2 through hydration of CO2 , it is possible that KLBB0001 might use a similar strategy for heterotrophs in the BSCs to sequester CO2 from the air. Because of its potential role in the reestablishment of the BSC ecosystem due to its ability to improve water relations, sand stabilization, and chemical erosion, EPS-producing bacterial inoculation was concluded to be a suitable and effective treatment for BSC recovery, especially in environments with limited water and nutrients.

Abstract
In this work, we fabricated a system of integrated self-assembled layer of organosilane 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxy silane (MPTS) on the screen printed electrode (SPE) and electrochemically deposited gold nanoparticle for Salmonella typhi detection employing Vi gene as a molecular marker. Thiolated DNA probe was immobilized on a gold nanoparticle (AuNP) modified SPE for DNA hybridization assay using methylene blue as redox (electroactive) hybridization indicator, and signal was monitored by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) method. The modified SPE was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) method. The DNA biosensor showed excellent performances with high sensitivity and good selectivity. The current response was linear with the target sequence concentrations ranging from 1.0 × 10(-11) to 0.5 × 10(-8)M and the detection limit was found to be 50 (± 2.1)pM. The DNA biosensor showed good discrimination ability to the one-base, two-base and three-base mismatched sequences. The fabricated genosensor could also be regenerated easily and reused for three to four times for further hybridization studies.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica ser. enteritidis and Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica ser. typhimurium are the most common and severe food-borne pathogens responsible for causing salmonellosis in humans and animals. The development of an early and ultra-sensitive detection system is the first critical step in controlling this disease. To accomplish this, we used the cell systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (Cell-SELEX) technique to identify single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) aptamers to be used as detection probes that can specifically bind to S. enteritidis and S. typhimurium. A total of 12 target-specific ssDNA aptamers were obtained through ten rounds of Cell-SELEX under stringent selection conditions, and negative selection further enhanced the selectivity among these aptamers. Aptamer specificity was investigated using the gram-negative bacteria E. coli and P. aeruginosa and was found to be much higher towards S. enteritidis and S. typhimurium. Importantly, three candidate aptamers demonstrated higher binding affinities and the dissociation constants (Kd) were found to be in the range of nanomolar to submicromolar levels. Furthermore, individual aptamers were conjugated onto polyvalent directed aptamer polymer, which led to 100-fold increase in binding affinity compared to the individual aptamers alone. Taken together, this study reports the identification of higher affinity and specificity ssDNA aptamers (30mer), which may be useful as capture and detection probes in biosensor-based detection systems for salmonellosis.

Abstract
This study was designed to confirm the applicability of a liposome-based immunochromatographic assay for the rapid detection of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (Salmonella Typhimurium) in artificially contaminated tomato samples. To determine the detection limit and pre-enrichment incubation time (10, 12, and 18 h pre-enrichment in 1% buffered peptone water), the tests were performed with different cell numbers of Salmonella Typhimurium (3 × 100, 3 × 101, 3 × 102, and 3 × 103CFU·mL−1) inoculated into 25 g of crushed tomato samples. The assay was able to detect as few as 30 Salmonella Typhimurium cells per 25 g of tomato samples (1.2 cells·g−1) after 12 h pre-enrichment incubation. Moreover, when the developed assay was compared with traditional morphological and biochemical culture-based methods as well as colloidal gold nanoparticle-based commercial test strips, the developed assay yielded positive results for the detection of Salmonella Typhimurium within a shorter period time. These findings confirm that the developed assay may have practical application for the sensitive detection of Salmonella Typhimurium in various food samples, including raw vegetables, with a relatively low detection limit and shorter analysis time.

Abstract
Occupational exposure limits (OELs) together with determined airborne exposures are used in risk assessment based managements of occupational exposures to prevent occupational diseases. In most countries, OELs have only been set for few protein-containing aerosols causing IgE-mediated allergies. They comprise aerosols of flour dust, grain dust, wood dust, natural rubber latex, and the subtilisins, which are proteolytic enzymes. These aerosols show dose-dependent effects and levels have been established, where nearly all workers may be exposed without adverse health effects, which are required for setting OELs. Our aim is to analyse prerequisites for setting OELs for the allergenic protein-containing aerosols. Opposite to the key effect of toxicological reactions, two thresholds, one for the sensitization phase and one for elicitation of IgE-mediated symptoms in sensitized individuals, are used in the OEL settings. For example, this was the case for flour dust, where OELs were based on dust levels due to linearity between flour dust and its allergen levels. The critical effects for flour and grain dust OELs were different, which indicates that conclusion by analogy (read-across) must be scientifically well founded. Except for subtilisins, no OEL have been set for other industrial enzymes, where many of which are high volume chemicals. For several of these, OELs have been proposed in the scientific literature during the last two decades. It is apparent that the scientific methodology is available for setting OELs for proteins and protein-containing aerosols where the critical effect is IgE sensitization and IgE-mediated airway diseases.

Abstract
To improve sensitivity of S. enterica serovar Typhimurium detection, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were combined and used as a label to amplify signal in a scanometric based assay. In this study, the MWCNTs/AuNPs nanocomposite was fabricated by directly assemble of Au(3+) to MWCNTs and allowed growing of AuNPs along the MWCNTs surface. This MWCNTs/AuNPs nanocomposite was then attached to anti-S. typhimurium antibody (MWCNTs/AuNPs/Ab(1)) and used as a detecting molecule. Upon binding to Salmonella, they were pre-concentrated by magenetic beads/antibody (MBs/Ab(2)) forming a sandwich immuno-complex which is later spotted on a nitrocellulose membrane coated slide. Silver reduction was applied to amplify signal. The detection limit of 42CFU/ml was achieved when 2% BSA was used as a blocking agent. Given different types of real samples testing, chicken broth was found to give lowest detection limit, followed by orange juice low fat and whole milk. Selectivity testing was performed by using Escherichia coli as interference and found slightly cross-reactivity which could be due to specificity of the Ab used. By virtue of using a slide for multi-samples spotting and a flatbed scanner for signal-read out acquisition, this scano-magneto immunoassay could enable low-cost detection as well as high throughput screening.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Fever is one of the most common illnesses in all age groups in India. Typhoid fever is a continuing problem in developing countries such as India, which has poor sanitation facilities. The diagnosis of typhoid fever is still made by conventional culture-based isolation and identification. Serologic diagnostic tests, though widely used, have many deficiencies. Our objective was to investigate a molecular nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) technique to detect Salmonella typhi among patients with febrile illness in rural and peri-urban communities in Vellore district (Tamil Nadu, India). METHODS nPCR targeting the flagellin gene (fliC) was carried out using HotStar Taq DNA polymerase on DNA extracted from the buffy coat fraction of blood samples. Blood culture was done in a completely automated blood culture system, BacT/Alert(R), on prospectively collected blood samples. Relevant clinicopathologic data were obtained. RESULTS nPCR was found to have a lower limit of detection of 0.01 colony-forming units per milliliter. The prevalence of typhoid fever as estimated by nPCR was 4.7% in pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) in the rural/peri-urban communities of Vellore district. The prevalence of S. typhi as estimated by blood culture was 2.0%, which was lower than the nPCR estimation. nPCR had sensitivity and specificity of 100% and 97.3%, respectively. The observed agreement between blood culture and nPCR was 0.973 and the Kappa coefficient was 0.59 (p < 0.0001). The frequency of typhoid fever as detected by nPCR was 4.35% among rural patients and 5.32% among peri-urban individuals. CONCLUSION nPCR on DNA extracts of buffy-coat samples using HotStar Taq was found to be a valuable and specific technique for diagnosis of typhoid fever.
