[PMID: 38852322 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116470] [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: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
The aggravation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment has posed a significant global health crisis. Accurate evaluation of ARGs levels in a facile manner is a pressing issue for environmental surveillance. Here, we demonstrate a unique dumbbell-shaped cascade nanozyme for visual/photoelectrochemical (PEC) dual-mode detection of ARGs. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with tunable exposed facets are controllably anchored onto ZIF-8 dodecahedrons, exhibiting glucose oxidase (GOx)-like (ZIF-8@Au/G) and peroxidase (POD)-like (ZIF-8@Au/P) activities. Upon the occurrence of ARGs, an asymmetric cascade-amplified "dumbbell" configuration is spontaneously generated via target-induced DNA hybridization, comprising GOx-like ZIF-8@Au/G with capture DNA on one side and POD-like ZIF-8@Au/P with signal DNA on the opposite side. Such a cascade nano-system can efficiently oxidize colorless 2, 2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) into its green oxidation state and synergistically decompose H2O2, realizing colorimetric/PEC dual-mode ARGs detection with a detection limit of 0.112 nM. The applicability of the present bioassay is validated through measuring ARGs in real sludge samples. This work suggests the possibility to rationally design task-specific nanozymes and develop target-responsive nano-cascade assays for environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Marine algal toxin contamination is a major threat to human health. Thus, it is crucial to develop rapid and on-site techniques for detecting algal toxins. In this work, we developed colorimetric cloth and paper hybrid microfluidic devices (μCPADs) for rapid detection of gonyautoxin (GTX1/4) combined with molecularly imprinted polymers. In addition, the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) composites were applied for this approach by their unique features. Guanosine serves as a dummy template for surface imprinting and has certain structural advantages in recognizing gonyautoxin. MOF@MIPs composites were able to perform a catalytic color reaction using hydrogen peroxide-tetramethylbenzidine for the detection of GTX1/4. The cloth-based sensing substrates were assembled on origami μPADs to form user-friendly, miniaturized colorimetric μCPADs. Combined with a smartphone, the proposed colorimetric μCPADs successfully achieved a low limit of detection of 0.65 μg/L within the range of 1-200 μg/L for rapid visual detection of GTX1/4. Moreover, the GTX1/4 of real shellfish and seawater samples were satisfactorily detected to indicate the application prospect of the μCPADs. The proposed method shows good potential in the low-cost, stable establishment of assays for the rapid detection of environmental biotoxins.

Abstract
Accurate identification of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is crucial for improving treatment and controlling the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB). Herein, a novel PCR-free, centrifugation-free, and label-free magnetic fluorescent biosensor (MFB) was developed by combining polyA-medium DNA-polyT (mDNA, which contained a partial sequence of a target DNA), gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-anchored magnetic nanoparticle (Au@Fe3O4), complementary strand DNA (CS) of the target DNA, DNA concatamer with G-triplex (G3), and thioflavin T (ThT). Thereinto, Au@Fe3O4 nanoparticles were first capped by mDNA strands within 20 min using a simple hot drying method, and then CS was added and hybridized with mDNA on Au@Fe3O4. Second, a DNA concatamer was used to bind with CS on Au@Fe3O4. When an ARG was present in the sample, the CS would recognize it and release the DNA concatamer into solution by a toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction. Finally, under magnetic separation, the free DNA concatamers with G3 were taken out easily and bound with ThT, resulting in strong fluorescence signals. The fluorescence intensity of ThT was positively correlated with the concentration of the ARG. The whole analysis was accomplished within 1.5 h using 96-well plates. Remarkably, our MFB was universal; eight ARGs were detected by replacing the corresponding mDNA and CS in this study. To verify the practicability of our method, 12 clinically isolated strains were analyzed. The results of the MFB method were in good agreement with those of the quantitative real-time PCR method with an area under the curve of 0.92 (95% confidence interval: 0.8479 to 0.9932), sensitivity of 92.00%, and specificity of 91.55%. Above all, the MFB assay established here is simple, low-cost, and universal and has great potential for applications in the identification of ARGs.

Abstract
The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria due to the overuse or inappropriate use of antibiotics has become a significant public health concern. The agri-food chain, which serves as a vital link between the environment, food, and human, contributes to the large-scale dissemination of antibiotic resistance, posing a concern to both food safety and human health. Identification and evaluation of antibiotic resistance of foodborne bacteria is a crucial priority to avoid antibiotic abuse and ensure food safety. However, the conventional approach for detecting antibiotic resistance heavily relies on culture-based methods, which are laborious and time-consuming. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop accurate and rapid tools for diagnosing antibiotic resistance in foodborne pathogens. This review aims to provide an overview of the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance at both phenotypic and genetic levels, with a focus on identifying potential biomarkers for diagnosing antibiotic resistance in foodborne pathogens. Furthermore, an overview of advances in the strategies based on the potential biomarkers (antibiotic resistance genes, antibiotic resistance-associated mutations, antibiotic resistance phenotypes) for antibiotic resistance analysis of foodborne pathogens is systematically exhibited. This work aims to provide guidance for the advancement of efficient and accurate diagnostic techniques for antibiotic resistance analysis in the food industry.

Abstract
Paper-based analytical devices (PADs) are powerful platforms for point-of-need testing since they are inexpensive devices fabricated in different shapes and miniaturized sizes, ensuring better portability. Additionally, the readout and detection systems can be accomplished with portable devices, allying with the features of both systems. These devices have been introduced as promising analytical platforms to meet critical demands involving rapid, reliable, and simple testing. They have been applied to monitor species related to environmental, health, and food issues. Herein, an outline of chronological events involving PADs is first reported. This work also introduces insights into fundamental parameters to engineer new analytical platforms, including the paper type and device operation. The discussions involve the main analytical techniques used as detection systems, such as colorimetry, fluorescence, and electrochemistry. It also showed recent advances involving PADs, especially combining optical and electrochemical detection into a single device. Dual/combined detection systems can overcome individual barriers of the analytical techniques, making possible simultaneous determinations, or enhancing the devices' sensitivity and/or selectivity. In addition, this review reports on distance-based detection, which is also considered a trend in analytical chemistry. Distance-based detection offers instrument-free analyses and avoids user interpretation errors, which are outstanding features for analyses at the point of need, especially for resource-limited regions. Finally, this review provides a critical overview of the practical specifications of the recent analytical platforms involving PADs, demonstrating their challenges. Therefore, this work can be a highly useful reference for new research and innovation.

Abstract
Antibiotics are powerful tools to treat bacterial infections, but antibiotic pollution is becoming a severe threat to the effective treatment of human bacterial infections. The detection of antibiotics in water has been a crucial research area for bioassays in recent years. There is still an urgent need for a simple ultrasensitive detection approach to achieve accurate antibiotic detection at low concentrations. Herein, a field-effect transistor (FET)-based biosensor was developed using ultraclean graphene and an aptamer for ultrasensitive tetracycline detection. Using a newly designed camphor-rosin clean transfer (CRCT) scheme to prepare ultraclean graphene, the carrier mobility of the FET is found to be improved by more than 10 times compared with the FET prepared by the conventional PMMA transfer (CPT) method. Based on the FET, aptamer-functionalized transistor antibiotic biosensors were constructed and characterized. A dynamic detection range of 5 orders of magnitude, a sensitivity of 21.7 mV/decade, and a low detection limit of 100 fM are achieved for the CRCT-FET biosensors with good stability, which are much improved compared with the biosensor prepared by the CPT method. The antibiotic sensing and sensing performance enhancement mechanisms for the CRCT-FET biosensor were studied and analyzed based on experimental results and a biosensing model. Finally, the CRCT-FET biosensor was verified by detecting antibiotics in actual samples obtained from the entrances of Bohai Bay.

Abstract
A smart temperature stimuli-driven multiplex photoelectrochemical (PEC) assay was constructed for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) detection, where the stimuli-responsive gatekeeping by regulating the alternative release of "cargo" allowed for the simultaneous detection of multiple tetracycline resistance gene, using tetA (TDNA1) and tetC (TDNA2) as the model. Dual temperature-responsive nanoassemblies were embedded in the PEC bioassay as signal DNA tages: one thermoresponsive polymer (poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAM)-capped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) with loading the "cargo" of HgO nanoparticles as signal DNA1 tags (SDNA1-PNIPAM@MSN@HgONPs) and the other antimony tartrate (SbT)-anchored silica nanospheres as signal DNA2 tags (SDNA2-SbT@SiO2NSs). At 20 °C, below the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of PNIPAM, the "gatekeeper" PNIPAM in SDNA1-PNIPAM@MSN@HgONPs was in an ON state, igniting Hg2+ release through the pore of SiO2. While at above LCST (40 °C), it was in an OFF state. Likewise, the thermo-dependent dissociation of SbT endowed the grafted SDNA2 tags switching from the OFF (at 20 °C) to ON state (at 40 °C), igniting SbO+ release. The released Hg2+ and SbO+ triggered the amplified photocurrents due to the structure evolution of the photoactive layer into HgS/ZnS or Sb2S3/ZnS heterostructure, thus achieving sensitive detection of multiple ARGs: tetA, tetC, tetG, tetM, tetO, tetZ, tetX, and tetW. Combined with heat map analysis, rapid screening of the ARGs profiles in 12 samples could be realized. This bioassay is simple and accessible for multiple genes analysis with the detection limit down to 0.50 nM. And it was successfully applied for measuring tetracycline ARGs in real sludge samples.

Abstract
The antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis from bacterial pathogens is frequently emerging and rapidly disseminated during the sustained antimicrobial exposure in human-dominated communities, posing a compelling threat as one of the biggest challenges in humans. The frequent incidences of some common but untreatable infections unfold the public health catastrophe that antimicrobial-resistant pathogens have outpaced the available countermeasures, now explicitly amplified during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nowadays, biotechnology and machine learning advancements help create more fundamental knowledge of distinct spatiotemporal dynamics in AMR bacterial adaptation and evolutionary processes. Integrated with reliable diagnostic tools and powerful analytic approaches, a collaborative and systematic surveillance platform with high accuracy and predictability should be established and implemented, which is not just for an effective controlling strategy on AMR but also for protecting the longevity of valuable antimicrobials currently and in the future.

Abstract
Nucleic acid tests (NATs) have gained an important position in biosensing in the context of the increasing need to meet the stringent requirements for accurate diagnosis of infectious diseases with high sensitivity and selectivity. Recently, the development of new strategies towards multiplex detection of analytes in a single assay is gaining impetus since such an approach would lead to high throughput analysis, leading to substantial benefits in terms of time, infrastructure, labor, and cost. In this work, we demonstrate a facile fluorescence-based simultaneous dual oligo sensing of genotypes 1 and 3 by employing two target sequences (36-mers each) derived from the NS4B and NS5A regions of HCV genome, respectively. A set of 18-mer amine-tagged probes and another set of 18-mer fluorescently-labeled probes that were complementary to each half of the 36-mer target sequences were designed. The amine-tagged probes were immobilized over aldehyde-derivatized magnetite nanoparticles (NPs) via imine bond formation, which was characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) mapping techniques. The successful hybridization between the two probes with their target followed by magnetic removal of the NPs from the solution enabled quantitative analysis of the target by measuring the fluorescence intensity of the residual concentration of the fluorescently-tagged probe. In this manner, the targets corresponding to genotypes 1 and 3 were simultaneously detected with the detection limit in the range of 10-15 nM. The current strategy can potentially be amalgamated with existing nanotechnology-based techniques towards multiplex oligo sensing of several pathogens.

Abstract
A rapid, highly sensitive, and quantitative colorimetric paper-based analytical device (PAD) based on silver nanoplates (AgNPls) and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is presented. It is shown that cauliflower-like concatemer LAMP products can mediate crystal etching of AgNPls, with a threefold signal enhancement versus linear dsDNA. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), an antimicrobial resistant bacterium that poses a formidable risk with persistently high mortality, is used as a model pathogen. Due to the excellent color contrast provided by AgNPls, the PAD allows qualitative analysis by the naked eye and quantitative analysis using a smartphone camera, with detection limits down to a single copy in just 30 min, and a linear response from 1 to 104 copies (R2 = 0.994). The entire assay runs in situ on the paper surface, which drastically simplifies operation of the device. This is the first demonstration of single copy detection using a colorimetric readout, and the developed PAD shows great promise for translation into an ultrasensitive gene-based point-of-care test for any infectious disease target, via modification of the LAMP primer set.

Abstract
Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that regulate protein degradation and cellular organelle recycling. Homeostatic alteration by lysosomotropic compounds has been suggested as a potential approach for the treatment of cancer. However, because of the high false-negative rate resulting from strong fluorescent background noise, few luminescent high-throughput screening methods for lysosomotropic compounds have been developed for cancer therapy. Imidazole is a five-membered heterocycle that can act within the acidic interior of lysosomes. To develop an efficient lysosomotropic compound screening system, we introduced an imidazole group to iridium-based complexes and designed a long-lifetime lysosomal probe to monitor lysosomal activity in living cells. By integrating time-resolved emission spectroscopy (TRES) with the novel iridium-based lysosomal probe, a high-throughput screening platform capable of overcoming background fluorescent interference in living cells was developed for discovering lysosomotropic drugs. As a proof-of-concept, 400 FDA/EMA-approved drugs were screened using the TRES system, revealing five compounds as potential lysosomotropic agents. Significantly, the most promising potent lysosomotropic compound (mitoxantrone) identified in this work would have showed less activity if screened using a commercial lysosomal probe because of interference from the intrinsic fluorescence of mitoxantrone. We anticipate that this TRES-based high-throughput screening system could facilitate the development of more lysosomotropic drugs by avoiding false results arising from the intrinsic fluorescence of both bioactive compounds and/or the cell background.

Abstract
It is urgent to develop a more simple and sensitive method to detect antibiotic residues considering the harm of antibiotic residues in food to the human body. Herein we designed a label-free electrochemical DNA biosensor for the sensitive detection of kanamycin (KAN) based on diblock DNA with a 15-mer of poly-cytosine (poly-C). The diblock DNA can be immobilized on graphene oxide (GO) due to strong physical adsorption between the 15-mer of poly-C and GO. The aptamer of KAN acted as the other block for rapidly binding the target. It can specifically capture the target, which leads to the change of electrochemical signal. Consequently, the DNA biosensor exhibited high sensitivity and specificity towards KAN, the linear range was from 0.05 pM to 100 nM with a detection limit of 0.0476 pM. The developed DNA biosensor was constructed easily and showed promising applications for the detection of antibiotic residues for food safety.

Abstract
Paper is a common material that is promising for constructing microfluidic chips (lab-on-a-paper) for diagnostics and drug delivery for biomedical applications. In the past decade, extensive research on paper-based microfluidics has accumulated a large number of scientific publications in the fields of biomedical diagnosis, food safety, environmental health, drug screening and delivery. This review focuses on the recent progress on paper-based microfluidic technology with an emphasis on the design, optimization and application of the technology platform, in particular for medical diagnostics and drug delivery. Novel advances have concentrated on engineering paper devices for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics, which could be integrated with nucleic acid-based tests and isothermal amplification experiments, enabling rapid sample-to-answer assays for field testing. Among the isothermal amplification experiments, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), an extremely sensitive nucleic acid test, specifically identifies ultralow concentrations of DNA/RNA from practical samples for diagnosing diseases. We thus mainly focus on the paper device-based LAMP assay for the rapid infectious disease diagnosis, foodborne pathogen analysis, veterinary diagnosis, plant diagnosis, and environmental public health evaluation. We also outlined progress on paper microfluidic devices for drug delivery. The paper concludes with a discussion on the challenges of this technology and our insights into how to advance science and technology towards the development of fully functional paper devices in diagnostics and drug delivery.

Abstract
The study of hospital wastewater (HWW) microbiology is important to understand the pollution load, growth of particular pathogenic microbes, shift and drift in microbial community, development and spread of antibiotic resistance in microbes, and subsequent change in treatment efficiencies. This chapter investigates the potential microbes such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites present in HWW along with the diseases associated and methods of treatment used. Due to the indiscriminate release of antibiotics from hospitals, HWW serves as a hotspot for emergence of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) and antibiotic-resistance bacteria. This chapter discusses the ARGs occurrence in HWW, their prevalence in the environment, the molecular tools used for identification, and different mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer. Thus better understanding of the microbiology of HWW could further help in development of advanced treatment technologies for effective removal of microbes and their bioproducts (toxins and infectious nucleic acid) from HWW and contaminated water.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacterial contamination greatly threats human health and safety. Rapidly biosensing pathogens in the early stage of infection would be helpful to choose the correct drug treatment, prevent transmission of pathogens, as well as decrease mortality and economic losses. Traditional techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, are accurate and effective, but are greatly limited because they are complex and time-consuming. Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensors combine the advantages of both electrochemical and photoluminescence analysis and are suitable for high sensitivity and simple pathogenic bacteria detection. In this review, we summarize recent advances in ECL sensors for pathogenic bacteria detection and highlight the development of paper-based ECL platforms in point of care diagnosis of pathogens.

Abstract
Paper-based microfluidic devices have advanced significantly in recent years as they are affordable, automated with capillary action, portable, and biodegradable diagnostic platforms for a variety of health, environmental, and food quality applications. In terms of commercialization, however, paper-based microfluidics still have to overcome significant challenges to become an authentic point-of-care testing format with the advanced capabilities of analyte purification, multiplex analysis, quantification, and detection with high sensitivity and selectivity. Moreover, fluid flow manipulation for multistep integration, which involves valving and flow velocity control, is also a critical parameter to achieve high-performance devices. Considering these limitations, the aim of this review is to (i) comprehensively analyze the fabrication techniques of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices, (ii) provide a theoretical background and various methods for fluid flow manipulation, and iii) highlight the recent detection techniques developed for various applications, including their advantages and disadvantages.

Abstract
We develop a single-color multiplexing strategy by the integration of high-resolution melting pattern recognition with loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). This strategy can identify multiple amplicons with a small DNA melting temperature (Tm) difference (∼0.2 °C) without the involvement of either multicolor labels or parallelized multiplexing, and it can sensitively detect LAMP amplicons with the initial DNA concentrations ranging from 10 to 108 copies.

Abstract
Three novel norfloxacin-based ruthenium(ii) complexes, [Ru(bpy)2(NFLX)]Cl·2H2O (1), [Ru(phen)2(NFLX)]Cl·2H2O (2), and [Ru(dmbpy)2(NFLX)]Cl·2H2O (3) (bpy=2,2′-bipyridine, phen=1,10-phenanthroline, dmbpy=4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine, and NFLX=norfloxacin), were synthesised and characterised with electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The antitumour properties were evaluated by MTT assay, and the data revealed that 2 can inhibit the growth of human lung adenocarcinoma A549 efficiently. Furthermore, the DNA-binding behaviours of these complexes were investigated by a multiple spectroscopy assay and viscosity study. The results indicated that these complexes interact with calf thymus DNA through electrostatic interactions with a strong binding affinity in the order 2>3>1. Therefore, these results suggested that 2 might be a suitable anticancer agent due to its excellent DNA-binding abilities.

Abstract
Pressure-based bioassays incorporating biomolecular recognition with a catalyzed gas-generation reaction have been developed for gas biosensors, but most involve poor sensitivity and are unsuitable for routine use. Herein we design an innovative gas pressure-based biosensing platform for the detection of Kanamycin (Kana) on polyaniline nanowires-functionalized reduced graphene oxide (PANI/rGO) framework by using platinum nanozyme-catalyzed gas generation. The signal was amplified by coupling with catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and strand-displacement amplification (SDA). Upon target Kana introduction, the analyte initially triggered a SDA reaction between hairpin DNA1 and hairpin DNA2, and then induced CHA conjugation between magnetic bead-labeled hairpin DNA3 (MB-H3) and platinum nanoparticle-labeled hairpin DNA4 (Pt-H4) to form a three-dimensional network. Numerous platinum nanoparticles (peroxidase-like nanozymes) were carried over with magnetic beads to reduce hydrogen peroxide into oxygen. The as-produced gas compressed PANI/rGO frameworks (modified to polyurethane sponge, used as the piezoelectric materials) in a homemade pressure-tight device, thus causing the increasing current of PANI/rGO sponge thanks to its deformation. The change in the current caused by the as-generated gas pressure was determined on an electrochemical workstation. Under optimum conditions, PANI/rGO sponge exhibited outstanding compressibility, stable signal-waveform output, fast response and recovery time (≈109 ms), and the current increased with the increasing Kana concentration within a dynamic working range of 0.2-50 pM at a detection limit of 0.063 pM. Good reproducibility, specificity, and acceptable precision were acquired for Kana analysis. In addition, the accuracy of this method was monitored to evaluate real milk samples with the well-matched results obtained by using the referenced Kana ELISA kit.

Abstract
Application of optically superior, tunable fluorescent nanotechnologies have long been demonstrated throughout many chemical and biological sensing applications. Combined with microfluidics technologies, i.e. on lab-on-a-chip platforms, such fluorescent nanotechnologies have often enabled extreme sensitivity, sometimes down to single molecule level. Within recent years there has been a peak interest in translating fluorescent nanotechnology onto paper-based platforms for chemical and biological sensing, as a simple, low-cost, disposable alternative to conventional silicone-based microfluidic substrates. On the other hand, smartphone integration as an optical detection system as well as user interface and data processing component has been widely attempted, serving as a gateway to on-board quantitative processing, enhanced mobility, and interconnectivity with informational networks. Smartphone sensing can be integrated to these paper-based fluorogenic assays towards demonstrating extreme sensitivity as well as ease-of-use and low-cost. However, with these emerging technologies there are always technical limitations that must be addressed; for example, paper's autofluorescence that perturbs fluorogenic sensing; smartphone flash's limitations in fluorescent excitation; smartphone camera's limitations in detecting narrow-band fluorescent emission, etc. In this review, physical optical setups, digital enhancement algorithms, and various fluorescent measurement techniques are discussed and pinpointed as areas of opportunities to further improve paper-based fluorogenic optical sensing with smartphones.
