Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is predicted to become the leading cause of death worldwide in the coming decades. Rapid and on-site antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) is crucial for guiding appropriate antibiotic choices to combat AMR. With this in mind, we have designed a simple and efficient plasmonic nanosensor consisting of Cu2+ and cysteine-modified AuNP (Au/Cys) that utilizes the metabolic activity of bacteria toward Cu2+ for bacterial detection and AST. When Cu2+ is present, it induces the aggregation of Au/Cys. However, in the presence of bacteria, Cu2+ is metabolized to varying extents, resulting in distinct levels of aggregation. Moreover, the metabolic activity of bacteria can be influenced by their antibiotic susceptibility, allowing us to differentiate between susceptible and resistant strains through direct color changes from the Cu2+-Au/Cys platform over approximately 3 h. These color changes can be easily detected using naked-eye observation, smartphone analysis, or absorption readout. We have validated the platform using four clinical isolates and six types of antibiotics, demonstrating a clinical sensitivity and specificity of 95.8%. Given its simplicity, low cost, high speed, and high accuracy, the plasmonic nanosensor holds great potential for point-of-care detection of antibiotic susceptibility across various settings.

Abstract
Rapid prescribing of the right antibiotic is the key to treat infectious diseases and decelerate the challenge of bacterial antibiotic resistance. Herein, by targeting the 16S rRNA of bacteria, we developed a cation dye-triggered electrokinetic gold nanoparticle (AuNP) agglutination (CD-TEAA) method, which is rapid, visual, ultrasensitive, culture-independent, and low in cost. The limit of detection (LOD) is as low as 1 CFU mL-1 Escherichia coli. The infection identifications of aseptic fluid samples (n = 11) and urine samples with a clinically suspected urinary tract infection (UTI, n = 78) were accomplished within 50 and 30 min for each sample, respectively. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of UTI urine samples was achieved within 2.5 h. In ROC analysis of urine, the sensitivity and specificity were 100 and 96% for infection identification, and 100 and 98% for AST, respectively. Moreover, the overall cost of materials for each test is about US$0.69. Therefore, the CD-TEAA method is a superior approach to existing, time-consuming, and expensive methods, especially in less developed areas.

Abstract
The demand for sensitive, portable, and non-destructive analysis of pathogenic bacteria is of significance in point-of-care diagnosis. Herein, we constructed a smart electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor by integrating a flexible paper-based sensing device and a disposable three-electrode detecting system. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)-responsive cellulose paper was prepared by employing aptamer as recognition element and a probe DNA (probe DNA-GOD) tagged with glucose oxidase (GOD) as a signal amplification unit. The formation of aptamer-S. aureus complex mediated the quantitative release of probe DNA-GOD. The remaining probe DNA-GOD on the paper-based aptasensor was then activated by glucose, which resulted in a significant decrease in ECL signal. To further improve the ECL performance of biosensor, a large number of Ru(bpy)32+ molecules were embedded into porous zinc-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to form Ru(bpy)32+ functionalized MOF nanoflowers (Ru-MOF-5 NFs). Such biosensor enabled accurate, non-destructive, and real-time monitoring of S. aureus-contaminated food samples, opening a new avenue for sensitive recognition of pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
Rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) with the ability of bacterial identification is urgently needed for evidence-based antibiotic prescription. Herein, we propose an enzymatic AST (enzyAST) that employs β-d-glucuronidase as a biomarker to identify pathogens and profile phenotypic susceptibilities simultaneously. EnzyAST enables to offer binary AST results within 30 min, much faster than standard methods (>16 h). The general applicability of enzyAST was verified by testing the susceptibility of two Escherichia coli strains to three antibiotics with different action mechanisms. The pilot study also shows that the minimal inhibitory concentrations can be determined by enzyAST with the statistical analysis of enzymatic activity of the bacteria population exposed to varying antibiotic concentrations. With further development of multiple bacteria and sample treatment, enzyAST could be able to evaluate the susceptibility of pathogens in clinical samples directly to facilitate the evidence-based therapy.
