Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is still threatening millions of people's lives, especially in developing countries. One of the major factors contributing to the ongoing epidemic of TB is the lack of a fast, efficient, and inexpensive diagnostic strategy. In this work, we developed a semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)-based field-effect transistor (FET) device functionalized with anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen 85B antibody (Ab85B) to detect the major M. tuberculosis-secreted antigen 85B (Ag85B). Through optimizing the device fabrication process by evaluating the mass of the antibody and the concentration of the gating electrolyte, our Ab85B-SWCNT FET devices achieved the detection of the Ag85B spiked in phosphate-buffered saline (calibration samples) with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.05 fg/mL. This SWCNT FET biosensor also showed good sensing performance in biological matrices including artificial sputum and can identify Ag85B in serum after introducing bovine serum albumin (BSA) into the blocking layer. Furthermore, our BSA-blocked Ab85B-SWCNT FET devices can distinguish between TB-positive and -negative clinical samples, promising the application of SWCNT FET devices in point-of-care TB diagnostics. Moreover, the robustness of this SWCNT-based biosensor to the TB diagnosis in blood serum was enhanced by blocking SWCNT devices directly with a glutaraldehyde cross-linked BSA layer, enabling future applications of these SWCNT-based biosensors in clinical testing.

Abstract
Paper-based electrochemical sensors have the characteristics of flexibility, biocompatibility, environmental protection, low cost, wide availability, and hydropathy, which make them very suitable for the development and application of biological detection. This work proposes electrospun cellulose acetate nanofiber (CA NF)-decorated paper-based screen-printed (PBSP) electrode electrochemical sensors. The CA NFs were directly collected on the PBSP electrode through an electrospinning technique at an optimized voltage of 16 kV for 10 min. The sensor was functionalized with different bio-sensitive materials for detecting different targets, and its sensing capability was evaluated by CV, DPV, and chronoamperometry methods. The test results demonstrated that the CA NFs enhanced the detection sensitivity of the PBSP electrode, and the sensor showed good stability, repeatability, and specificity (p < 0.01, N = 3). The electrochemical sensing of the CA NF-decorated PBSP electrode exhibited a short detection duration of ∼5-7 min and detection ranges of 1 nmol mL-1-100 μmol mL-1, 100 fg mL-1-10 μg mL-1, and 1.5 × 102-106 CFU mL-1 and limits of detection of 0.71 nmol mL-1, 89.1 fg mL-1, and 30 CFU mL-1 for glucose, Ag85B protein, and E. coli O157:H7, respectively. These CA NF-decorated PBSP sensors can be used as a general electrochemical tool to detect, for example, organic substances, proteins, and bacteria, which are expected to achieve point-of-care testing of pathogenic microorganisms and have wide application prospects in biomedicine, clinical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and food safety.

Abstract
Infectious diseases, caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi, are crucial for efficient disease management, reducing morbidity and mortality rates and controlling disease spread. Traditional laboratory-based diagnostic methods face challenges such as high costs, time consumption, and a lack of trained personnel in resource-poor settings. Diagnostic biosensors have gained momentum as a potential solution, offering advantages such as low cost, high sensitivity, ease of use, and portability. Nanobiosensors are a promising tool for detecting and diagnosing infectious diseases such as coronavirus disease, human immunodeficiency virus, and hepatitis. These sensors use nanostructured carbon nanotubes, graphene, and nanoparticles to detect specific biomarkers or pathogens. They operate through mechanisms like the lateral flow test platform, where a sample containing the biomarker or pathogen is applied to a test strip. If present, the sample binds to specific recognition probes on the strip, indicating a positive result. This binding event is visualized through a colored line. This review discusses the importance, benefits, and potential of nanobiosensors in detecting infectious diseases.

Abstract
Pathogenic microorganisms in the environment pose a serious threat to global human health. This study developed a reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-field effect transistor (FET) biosensor to realize the rapid and sensitive detection of pathogenic microorganisms. The rGO-FET sensors were prepared by in-situ thermal reduction method, and biorecognition elements were immobilized using a crosslinking agent to realize the surface functionalization of rGO. The rGO-FET biosensors can detect Escherichia coli O157:H7 as low as 1.4 CFU mL-1 within 46 s. The normalized current response was linearly correlated with E. coli concentration in the range of 1.4-1.4 × 107 CFU mL-1. The normalized current response of E. coli O157:H7 was about an order of magnitude higher than those of other microorganisms, indicating that the biosensor has good specificity. The current loss rates of the unmodified rGO-FET sensors and the biosensors modified with anti-E. coli O157:H7 after 30 days of storage at 4 °C were approximately 8% and 15%, respectively. Most importantly, the rGO-FET biosensors can directly detect real samples without pretreatment. Compared with other technologies, the rGO-FET biosensors can detect pathogenic microorganisms with a wider linear range in a shorter time, which is of great importance for the rapid warning and control of pathogenic microorganisms in the environment.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the world's deadliest infections caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Though curable, the disease goes undetected in early stages owing to the lack of rapid, simple, cost-effective, and sensitive detection methods. In this investigation, we describe a procedure which is superior, more sensitive, and easier to handle, as compared to the previously reported, nanoparticle-based visual colorimetric assays for rapid detection of TB DNA, after its PCR amplification. This assay employs plasmonic gold nanoparticles (GNP) as a colorimetric agent and ethanol to promote aggregation of GNPs, thereby specifically detecting the amplified MTB DNA. An unambiguous response was achieved within 3 min after adding the DNA amplicon to the reaction tube. This conclusion was supported by spectroscopic data. The assay is sensitive up to ∼340 femtomole levels of MTB DNA, which was amplified using 0.125 ng μL-1 of the MTB DNA template. Thus, the technique developed here may be employed as a sensitive screening tool for early diagnosis of TB infection and is valuable for low-resource settings in remote areas, because of its simplicity. This ethanol-based visual TB DNA detection method is more sensitive, and fool-proof as compared to the commonly used salt-based colorimetric TB DNA assays, to the best of our knowledge.

Abstract
Tuberculosis has remained a global concern for public health affecting the lives of people for ages. Approximately 10 million people are affected by the disease and 1.5 million succumb to the disease worldwide annually. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the role of early diagnosis to win the battle against such infectious diseases. Thus, advancement in the diagnostic approaches to provide early detection forms the foundation to eradicate and manage contagious diseases like tuberculosis. The conventional diagnostic strategies include microscopic examination, chest X-ray and tuberculin skin test. The limitations associated with sensitivity and specificity of these tests demands for exploring new techniques like probe-based assays, CRISPR-Cas and microRNA detection. The aim of the current review is to envisage the correlation between both the conventional and the newer approaches to enhance the specificity and sensitivity. A significant emphasis has been placed upon nanodiagnostic approaches manipulating quantum dots, magnetic nanoparticles, and biosensors for accurate diagnosis of latent, active and drug-resistant TB. Additionally, we would like to ponder upon a reliable method that is cost-effective, reproducible, require minimal infrastructure and provide point-of-care to the patients.

Abstract
The simple and efficient detection of nucleic acids is important in the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). However, base mismatch will lead to false positive and false negative nucleic acid test, which seriously interferes with the accuracy of the final results. Herein, we demonstrated a CRISPR/Cas-9-mediated fluorescent strategy utilizing fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) for the detection of bacteria. High-variable region of M. tuberculosis 16S rDNA fragment was used as the target, and CRISPR/Cas9 was used as the recognition element. The binding of the P1 probe of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) @SiO2-P1 and the P2 probe of Fe3O4@Au-P2 caused the fluorescence quenching of UCNPs. In the presence of the target, the P2 probe hybridized with the target to form double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), which was recognized and cleaved by CRISPR/Cas9, resulting in the breaking of the P1-P2 duplex linkage. UCNPs moved away from Fe3O4@Au under a magnetic field, and the fluorescence signal was restored; bacteria were detected under the excitation of a 980 nm laser source. Using the CRISPR/Cas-9-mediated system, the sensor could distinguish single-base mismatches in 10 bases from the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) region. The limit of detection (LOD) was 20 CFU mL-1 and the detection time was 2 h. It developed a new way of accurate nucleic acid detection for disease diagnosis.

[PMID: 37185561 PMCID: PMC10136323 DOI: 10.3390/bios13040486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Revised: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
Herein, we report results of the studies relating to the development of an impedimetric, magnetic bead-assisted supersandwich DNA hybridization assay for ultrasensitive detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the causative agent of a sexually transmitted infection (STI), gonorrhea. First, a conductive ink was formulated by homogenously dispersing carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (cMWCNTs) in a stable emulsion of terpineol and an aqueous suspension of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). The ink, labeled C5, was coated onto paper substrates to fabricate C5@paper conductive electrodes. Thereafter, a magnetic bead (MB)-assisted supersandwich DNA hybridization assay was optimized against the porA pseudogene of N. gonorrhoeae. For this purpose, a pair of specific 5' aminated capture probes (SCP) and supersandwich detector probes (SDP) was designed, which allowed the enrichment of target gonorrheal DNA sequence from a milieu of substances. The SD probe was designed such that instead of 1:1 binding, it allowed the binding of more than one T strand, leading to a 'ladder-like' DNA supersandwich structure. The MB-assisted supersandwich assay was integrated into the C5@paper electrodes for electrochemical analysis. The C5@paper electrodes were found to be highly conductive by a four-probe conductivity method (maximum conductivity of 10.1 S·cm-1). Further, the biosensing assay displayed a wide linear range of 100 aM-100 nM (109 orders of magnitude) with an excellent sensitivity of 22.6 kΩ·(log[concentration])-1. The clinical applicability of the biosensing assay was assessed by detecting genomic DNA extracted from N. gonorrhoeae in the presence of DNA from different non-gonorrheal bacterial species. In conclusion, this study demonstrates a highly sensitive, cost-effective, and label-free paper-based device for STI diagnostics. The ink formulation prepared for the study was found to be highly thixotropic, which indicates that the paper electrodes can be screen-printed in a reproducible and scalable manner.

Abstract
Clinical tuberculosis (TB) screening and diagnosis are crucial for controlling the spread of this life-threatening infectious disease. In this work, a novel, rapid, and simple colorimetric detection platform for TB was developed based on a quantum dot-based nanobeacon (QD-NB) and multicomponent nucleic acid enzyme (MNAzyme). In the presence of target DNA (IS1081 gene fragment), the recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) was performed and the amplicons were chemically DNA-denatured and then subjected to MNAzyme reaction. RNA-cleaving MNAzyme assembly included the recognition of target DNA and hybridization with a QD-NB fluorescence probe. Under the addition of Mg2+, the RNA-containing QD-NB as a cleavable substrate could be broken into two DNA fragments, leading to green fluorescence release due to their departure from a black hole quencher (BHQ2). The TB detection could be achieved with the naked eye under a portable and inexpensive UV flashlight. Our results demonstrated that QD-NB-based MNAzyme colorimetric assays improved the detection sensitivity by 1 order of magnitude compared with the detection using RPA. The limit of detection (LOD) of the visual reading was as low as 2 copies/μL (3.3 amol/L). Excellent specificity and reproducibility could also be achieved. Furthermore, the practical application of the colorimetric method for TB diagnosis was verified by 36 clinical TB patients and 20 healthy individuals. The developed QD-NB-based MNAzyme colorimetric assays provided a rapid, convenient, sensitive, and accurate alternative for clinical TB screening and diagnosis.

Abstract
Controllable mass production of monodisperse droplets plays a key role in numerous fields ranging from scientific research to industrial application. Microfluidic ladder networks show great potential in mass production of monodisperse droplets, but their design with uniform microflow distribution remains challenging due to the lack of a rational design strategy. Here an effective design strategy based on backstepping microflow analysis (BMA) is proposed for the rational development of microfluidic ladder networks for mass production of controllable monodisperse microdroplets. The performance of our BMA rule for rational microfluidic ladder network design is demonstrated by using an existing analogism-derived rule that is widely used for the design of microfluidic ladder networks as the control group. The microfluidic ladder network designed by the BMA rule shows a more uniform flow distribution in each branch microchannel than that designed by the existing rule, as confirmed by single-phase flow simulation. Meanwhile, the microfluidic ladder network designed by the BMA rule allows mass production of droplets with higher size monodispersity in a wider window of flow rates and mass production of polymeric microspheres from such highly monodisperse droplet templates. The proposed BMA rule provides new insights into the microflow distribution behaviors in microfluidic ladder networks based on backstepping microflow analysis and provides a rational guideline for the efficient development of microfluidic ladder networks with uniform flow distribution for mass production of highly monodisperse droplets. Moreover, the BMA method provides a general analysis strategy for microfluidic networks with parallel multiple microchannels for rational scale-up.

Abstract
Solution sensors are required to detect analytes in liquids with high sensitivity and response speed for environmental and health monitoring. In this study, we introduce the concept of a Cu oxide thin film having nanowires as a solution sensor for detecting ethanol in water. The Cu oxide sensor with grains and nanowires of different shapes was fabricated by a simple method of heating a Cu thin film and dropping an Ag conductive paste. Sensing parameters and mechanisms were evaluated by current-voltage and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. In the Cu oxide sensor formed on thin film having a large number of nanowires fabricated by heating at 400 °C for 5 h, the sensor sensitivity was 0.96 at 0.1 vol % ethanol concentration, and the response time was 313 s at a voltage of 0.1 V. The Cu oxide sensor detects ethanol by the change in electrical resistance caused by the reaction between ethanol molecules and the lattice oxygen on the Cu oxide surface. Therefore, the large nanowire surface area leads to a higher sensor sensitivity and a faster response time. Furthermore, the grain and nanowire regions on the thin film are represented by equivalent circuits. A high correlation was observed between the sensor sensitivity and the time constant calculated from the equivalent circuit. The proposed Cu oxide solution sensor and detection mechanism offer designs to improve the performance of chemical sensors.

Abstract
In this study, we report a pH-responsive hydrogel-modified silicon nanowire field-effect transistor for pH sensing, whose modification is operated by spin coating, and whose performance is characterized by the electrical curve of field-effect transistors. The results show that the hydrogel sensor can measure buffer pH in a repeatable and stable manner in the pH range of 3–13, with a high pH sensitivity of 100 mV/pH. It is considered that the swelling of hydrogel occurring in an aqueous solution varies the dielectric properties of acrylamide hydrogels, causing the abrupt increase in the source-drain current. It is believed that the design of the sensor can provide a promising direction for future biosensing applications utilizing the excellent biocompatibility of hydrogels.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a public health problem that cannot be ignored. The portable and efficient detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is important for the effective control of this disease. However, current detection techniques do not meet the requirements for MTB detection in the actual environment and often require cumbersome detection steps that are time consuming and inflexible. In this study, a portable immunosensor to detect MTB in sputum was prepared and then subjected to interface characterizations, such as scanning electron microscopy, hydrophilic angle test, and fluorescence characterization. The source and gate voltage of the device were optimized and tested using a non-contact photoresponse. The results showed that the sensitivity of the sensor to luminance increases with the decrease in source voltage. The gate voltage can substantially improve the response of the immunosensor to the normalized current of protein and amplify the signal at least 1.6 times. The optimal voltage detection conditions of source voltage (0.3 V) and gate voltage (0.1 V) were also determined. Several common proteins present in simulated saliva were used for anti-interference tests, and the sensor exhibited good specificity. Finally, the dilution gradient of an actual TB sputum sample was optimized. In the absence of preconditioning, a double-blind experiment was used to distinguish between the sputum from patients with TB and healthy individuals to shorten the TB detection time to a few minutes. Compared with the hospital's conventional detection method using cultures, the proposed method can complete the detection in a shorter time. This study provides a new strategy for the portable diagnosis of TB.

Abstract
Exosomes are highly important in clinical diagnosis due to their high homology with their parental cells. However, conventional exosome detection methods still face the challenges of expensive equipment, low sensitivity, and complex procedures. Field effect transistors (FETs) are not only the most essential electronic component in the modern microelectronics industry but also show great potential for biomolecule detection owing to the advantages of rapid response, high sensitivity, and label-free detection. In this study, we proposed a Si nanowire field-effect transistor (Si-NW Bio-FET) device chemically modified with specific antibodies for the electrical and label-free detection of exosomes. The Si-NW FETs were fabricated by standard microelectronic processes with 45 nm width nanowires and packaged in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic channel. The nanowires were further modified with the specific CD63 antibody to form a Si-NW Bio-FET. The use of the developed Si-NW Bio-FET for the electrical and label-free detection of exosomes was successfully demonstrated with a limit of detection (LOD) of 2159 particles/mL. In contrast to other technologies, in this study, Si-NW Bio-FET provides a unique strategy for directly quantifying and real-time detecting exosomes without labeling, indicating its potential as a tool for the early diagnosis of cancer.
