Abstract
Food safety became one of the most critical issues owing to the large expansion of international trading and emission of various pollutants in air, water and soil. Fungal contamination of food and feed has attracted most of the attention in the last decade because of the emerging analytical tools that facilitate the detection and discrimination of fungal species in imported foodstuff, seeds, grains, plants, meats …etc. In this work, we give an insight on the application of integrated attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and artificial-intelligence algorithms to the determination and discrimination of fungal species/strains which potentially infect plants, seeds and grains. The proposed method is based on a microcontroller which allows the PC to analyze a large number of samples via serial connection with an UART module. Penicillium chrysogenum, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus solani, Aspergillus flavus and two different strains of Fusarium oxysporum were used as model microorganisms. The use of artificial-intelligence algorithms herein provides the advantage of automation enabling high throughput screening of large numbers of food samples in less than 5 s. In addition, the classification accuracy is enhanced by applying these machine-learning classification techniques. Principle component analysis (PCA) was used in order to extract the spectral discriminative features from the recorded fungal FTIR spectra. Three intelligent methods of classification; namely, artificial neural network (ANN), support-vector machine (SVM) and k-nearest neighbor (KNN), were used in this study in order to prove that integration of spectroscopic measurements with varying machine-learning methods give a simple analytical tool for detection and classification of foodborne pathogens. All the utilized classifiers gave an accuracy of 100 % and were able to discriminate different species and/or strains of the investigated fungi in few milliseconds.

Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:648. [PMID: 39367972 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-024-06685-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2024] [Accepted: 09/03/2024] [Indexed: 10/07/2024]
Abstract
Real-time, label-free detection of gram-negative bacteria with high selectivity and sensitivity is demonstrated using a bipolar electrode-electrochemiluminescence (BPE-ECL) platform. This platform utilizes anode luminescence and cathode modification of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) to effectively capture bacteria. Magainin I, basic AMP from Xenopus skin, boasting an α-helix structure, exhibits a preferential affinity for the surface of gram-negative pathogens. The covalent attachment of the peptide's C-terminal carboxylic acid to the free amines of a previously thiolated linker ensures its secure immobilization onto the surface of the interdigitated gold-plated cathode of BPE. The AMP-modified BPE sensor, when exposed to varying concentrations of gram-negative bacteria, produces reproducible ECL intensities, allowing for the detection of peptide-bacteria interactions within the range 1 to 104 CFU mL-1. Furthermore, this AMP-modified BPE sensor demonstrates a selective capacity to detect Escherichia coli O157:H7 amidst other gram-negative strains, even at a concentration of 1-CFU mL-1. This study underscores the high selectivity of Magainin I in bacterial detection, and the AMP-modified BPE-ECL system holds significant promise for rapid detection of gram-negative bacteria in various applications. The AMP-modified BPE sensor generated reproducible ECL intensity that detected peptide-bacteria interactions in the range 1 to 104 CFU mL-1. The AMP-modified BPE sensor also selectively detected E. coli O157:H7 from other gram-negative strains at a concentration of 1-CFU mL-1. In this paper, AMP demonstrated high selectivity in bacterial detection. The AMP-modified BPE-ECL system prepared has a great potential for application in the field of rapid detection of gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
Foodborne pathogens are a grave concern for the for food, medical, environmental, and economic sectors. Their ease of transmission and resistance to treatments, such as antimicrobial agents, make them an important challenge. Food tainted with these pathogens is swiftly rejected, and if ingested, can result in severe illnesses and even fatalities. This review provides and overview of the current status of various pathogens and their metabolites transmitted through food. Despite a plethora of studies on treatments to eradicate and inhibit these pathogens, their indiscriminate use can compromise the sensory properties of food and lead to contamination. Therefore, the study of detection methods such as electrochemical biosensors has been proposed, which are devices with advantages such as simplicity, fast response, and sensitivity. However, these biosensors may also present some limitations. In this regard, it has been reported that nanomaterials with high conductivity, surface-to-volume ratio, and robustness have been observed to improve the detection of foodborne pathogens or their metabolites. Therefore, in this work, we analyze the detection of pathogens transmitted through food and their metabolites using electrochemical biosensors based on nanomaterials.

Abstract
The rapid and sensitive detection of bacterial contaminants using low-cost and portable point-of-need (PoN) biosensors has gained significant interest in water quality monitoring. Cell-imprinted polymers (CIPs) are emerging as effective and inexpensive materials for bacterial detection as they provide specific binding sites designed to capture whole bacterial cells, especially when integrated into PoN microfluidic devices. However, improving the sensitivity and detection limits of these sensors remains challenging. In this study, we integrated CIP-functionalized stainless steel microwires (CIP-MWs) into a microfluidic device for the impedimetric detection of E. coli bacteria. The sensor featured two parallel microchannels with three-electrode configurations that allowed simultaneous control and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. A CIP-MW and a non-imprinted polymer (NIP)-MW suspended perpendicular to the microchannels served as the working electrodes in the test and control channels, respectively. Electrochemical spectra were fitted with equivalent electrical circuits, and the charge transfer resistances of both cells were measured before and after incubation with target bacteria. The charge transfer resistance of the CIP-MWs after 30 min of incubation with bacteria was increased. By normalizing the change in charge transfer resistance and analyzing the dose-response curve for bacterial concentrations ranging from 0 to 107 CFU/mL, we determined the limits of detection and quantification as 2 × 102 CFU/mL and 1.4 × 104 CFU/mL, respectively. The sensor demonstrated a dynamic range of 102 to 107 CFU/mL, where bacterial counts were statistically distinguishable. The proposed sensor offers a sensitive, cost-effective, durable, and rapid solution for on-site identification of waterborne pathogens.

Abstract
The necessity for rapid and accurate bacterial growth monitoring is imperative across various domains, including healthcare and environmental safety. We introduce the self-synchronized droplet-amplified electrical screening cytometry (SYNC) system, a novel meld of droplet microfluidics and electrochemical amplification tailored for precise bacterial growth kinetic monitoring. SYNC encapsulates single bacteria in picolitre droplets, enabling real-time, fluorescence-free electrochemical monitoring. A specially devised phosphorylation-amplified culture medium translates bacterial metabolic activity into discernible electrical impedance changes. The dual-channel design and a rail-based structure in SYNC facilitate parallel screening and self-synchronization of droplets, addressing the limitations of conventional impedance cytometry. SYNC showcases a 5-fold enhancement in detection sensitivity and reduces 50% of the detection time compared to traditional approaches. Notably, SYNC is pioneering in providing exact initial bacterial concentrations, achieve to 104 bacteria/ml, a capability unmatched by existing real-time techniques measuring electrochemical variations. Along with its robust performance, this earmarks SYNC as a powerful tool for applications such as antibiotic susceptibility testing, food quality monitoring, and real-time water bacteria monitoring, paving the way for enhanced microbial process management and infection control.

Abstract
The combination of copper-metal organic framework (Cu-MOF) with graphene oxide (GO) has received growing interest in electrocatalysis, energy storage and sensing applications. However, its potential as an electrochemical biosensing platform remains largely unexplored. In this study, we introduce the synthesis of GO/Cu-MOF nanocomposite and its application in the simultaneous detection of two biomarkers associated with lower respiratory infections, marking the first instance of its use in this capacity. The physicochemical properties and structural elucidation of this composite were studied with the support of XRD, FTIR, SEM and electrochemical techniques. The immunosensor was fabricated by drop casting the nanocomposite on dual screen-printed electrodes followed by functionalization with pyrene linker. The covalent immobilization of the monoclonal antibodies of the bacterial antigens of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae; M. p.) and Legionella pneumophila (L. pneumophila; L. p.) was achieved using EDC-NHS chemistry. The differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) signals of the developed immunosensor platform demonstrated a robust correlation across a broad concentration range from 1 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL. The immunosensor platform has shown high degree of selectivity against antigens for various respiratory pathogens. Moreover, the dual immunosensor was successfully applied for the detection of M. pneumoniae and L. pneumophila antigens in spiked water samples showing excellent recovery percentages. We attribute the high sensitivity of the immunosensor to the enhanced electrocatalytic characteristics, stability and conductivity of the GO-MOF composite as well as the synergistic interactions between the GO and MOF. This immunosensor offers a swift analytical response, simplicity in fabrication and instrumentation, rendering it an appealing platform for the on-field monitoring of pathogens in environmental samples.

Abstract
An electrochemical sensor sensitive to coenzyme A (CoA) was designed using a CoA-responsive polyallylamine-manganese oxide-polymer dot nanogel coated on the electrode surface to detect various genetic models of osteoarthritis (OA). The CoA-responsive nanogel sensor responded to the abundance of CoA in OA, causing the breakage of MnO2 in the nanogel, thereby changing the electroconductivity and fluorescence of the sensor. The CoA-responsive nanogel sensor was capable of detecting CoA depending on the treatment time and distinguishing the response towards different OA genetic models that contained different levels of CoA (wild type/WT, NudT7 knockout/N7KO, and Acot12 knockout/A12KO). The WT, N7KO, and A12KO had distinct resistances, which further increased as the incubation time were changed from 12 h (R12h = 2.11, 2.40, and 2.68 MΩ, respectively) to 24 h (R24h = 2.27, 2.59, and 2.92 MΩ, respectively) compared to the sensor without treatment (Rcontrol = 1.63 MΩ). To simplify its application, the nanogel sensor was combined with a wireless monitoring device to allow the sensing data to be directly transmitted to a smartphone. Furthermore, OA-indicated anabolic (Acan) and catabolic (Adamts5) factor transcription levels in chondrocytes provided evidence regarding CoA and nanogel interactions. Thus, this sensor offers potential usage in simple and sensitive OA diagnostics.

Abstract
Exposure to bioaerosol contamination has detrimental effects on human health. Recent advances in ATP bioluminescence provide more opportunities for the quantitative detection of bioaerosols. Since almost all active organisms can produce ATP, the amount of airborne microbes can be easily measured by detecting ATP-driven bioluminescence. The accurate evaluation of microorganisms mainly relies on following the four key steps: sampling and enrichment of airborne microbes, lysis for ATP extraction, enzymatic reaction, and measurement of luminescence intensity. To enhance the effectiveness of ATP bioluminescence, each step requires innovative strategies and continuous improvement. In this review, we summarized the recent advances in the quantitative detection of airborne microbes based on ATP bioluminescence, which focuses on the advanced strategies for improving sampling devices combined with ATP bioluminescence. Meanwhile, the optimized and innovative strategies for the remaining three key steps of the ATP bioluminescence assay are highlighted. The aim is to reawaken the prosperity of ATP bioluminescence and promote its wider utilization for efficient, real-time, and accurate detection of airborne microbes.

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
Ensuring food safety is paramount for the food industry and global health concerns. In this study, we have developed a method for the detection of prevalent foodborne pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Listeria spp., Shigella spp., Campylobacter spp., Clostridium spp., and Vibrio spp., utilizing antibody-aptamer arrays. To enhance the fluorescence signals on the microarray, the mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) conjugated with fluorescein, streptavidin, and seven detection antibodies-biotin were employed, forming fluorescein doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles conjugated with detection antibodies (MSNs-Flu-SA-Abs) complexes. The array pattern was designed for easy readability and enabled the simultaneous detection of all seven foodborne pathogens, referred to as the 7FP-biochip. Following the optimization of MSNs-Flu-SA-Abs complexes attachment and enhancement of the detection signal in fluorescent immunoassays, a high level of sensitivity was achieved. The detection limits for the seven pathogens in both buffer and food samples were 102 CFU/mL through visual screening, with fluorescent intensity quantification achieving levels as low as 20-34 CFU/g were achieved on the antibody-aptamer arrays. Our antibody-aptamer array offers several advantages, including significantly reduced nonspecific binding with no cross-reaction between bacteria. Importantly, our platform detection exhibited no cross-reactivity among the tested bacteria in this study. The multiplex detection of foodborne pathogens in canned tuna samples with spiked bacteria was successfully demonstrated in real food measurements. In conclusion, our study presents a promising method for detecting multiple foodborne pathogens simultaneously. With its high sensitivity and specificity, the developed antibody-aptamer array holds great potential for enhancing food safety and public health.

Abstract
Pathogenic diseases that trigger food safety remain a noteworthy concern due to substantial public health, economic, and social burdens worldwide. It is vital for developing an integrated diagnosis and treatment strategy for bacteria, which could achieve quick detection of pathogenic bacteria and the inhibition of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Herein, we reported an organic molecule (M-3) possessed strong light capture capacity, emerging a low energy gap and ΔEST. Subsequently, M-3 was integrated into a nanostructured system (BTBNPs) with excellent ROS generation, light absorption capability, and photothermal performance. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by BTBNPs were mainly free radicals from a type I mechanism, and the high photothermal conversion efficiency of BTBNPs was 41.26%. Benefiting from these advantages of BTBNPs, BTBNPs could achieve a ∼99% antibacterial effect for Escherichia coli O157:H7 with 20 μM dosage and 5 min of irradiation. Furthermore, the limit of detection (LoD) of the proposed BTBNPs-LFIA (colorimetric and photothermal modalities) for detecting E. coli O157:H7 was 4105 and 419 CFU mL-1, respectively. Overall, this work is expected to provide a new and sophisticated perspective for integrated diagnosis and treatment systems regarding pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
Fully integrated devices that enable full functioning execution without or with minimum external accessories or equipment are deemed to be one of the most desirable and ultimate objectives for modern device design and construction. Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) is often linked to outbreaks caused by contaminated water and food. However, the sensors that are currently used for point-of-care E. coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) detection are often large and cumbersome. Herein, we demonstrate the first example of a handheld and pump-free fully integrated electrochemical sensing platform with the capability to point-of-care test E. coli O157:H7 in the actual samples of E. coli O157:H7-spiked tap water and E. coli O157:H7-spiked watermelon juice. This platform was made possible by overcoming major engineering challenges in the seamless integration of a microfluidic module for pump-free liquid sample collection and transportation, a sensing module for efficient E. coli O157:H7 testing, and an electronic module for automatically converting and wirelessly transmitting signals into a single and compact electrochemical sensing platform that retains its inimitable stand-alone, handheld, pump-free, and cost-effective feature. Although our primary emphasis in this study is on detecting E. coli O157:H7, this pump-free fully integrated handheld electrochemical sensing platform may also be used to monitor other pathogens in food and water by including specific antipathogen antibodies.

Abstract
The worldwide spread of pathogenic microorganisms poses a significant risk to human health. Electrochemical biosensors have emerged as dependable analytical tools for the point-of-care detection of pathogens and can effectively compensate for the limitations of conventional techniques. Real-time analysis, high throughput, portability, and rapidity make them pioneering tools for on-site detection of pathogens. Herein, this work comprehensively reviews the recent advances in electrochemical biosensors for pathogen detection, focusing on those based on the classification of recognition elements, and summarizes their principles, current challenges, and prospects. This review was conducted by a systematic search of PubMed and Web of Science databases to obtain relevant literature and construct a basic framework. A total of 171 publications were included after online screening and data extraction to obtain information of the research advances in electrochemical biosensors for pathogen detection. According to the findings, the research of electrochemical biosensors in pathogen detection has been increasing yearly in the past 3 years, which has a broad development prospect, but most of the biosensors have performance or economic limitations and are still in the primary stage. Therefore, significant research and funding are required to fuel the rapid development of electrochemical biosensors. The overview comprehensively evaluates the recent advances in different types of electrochemical biosensors utilized in pathogen detection, with a view to providing insights into future research directions in biosensors.

Abstract
Here, we present a covalent nanolayer system that consists of a conductive and biorepulsive base layer topped by a layer carrying biorecognition sites. The layers are built up by electropolymerization of pyrrole derivatives that either carry polyglycerol brushes (for biorepulsivity) or glycoside moieties (as biorecognition sites). The polypyrrole backbone makes the resulting nanolayer systems conductive, opening the opportunity for constructing an electrochemistry-based sensor system. The basic concept of the sensor exploits the highly selective binding of carbohydrates by certain harmful bacteria, as bacterial adhesion and infection are a major threat to human health, and thus, a sensitive and selective detection of the respective bacteria by portable devices is highly desirable. To demonstrate the selectivity, two strains of Escherichia coli were selected. The first strain carries type 1 fimbriae, terminated by a lectin called FimH, which recognizes α-d-mannopyranosides, which is a carbohydrate that is commonly found on endothelial cells. The otherE. coli strain was of a strain that lacked this particular lectin. It could be demonstrated that hybrid nanolayer systems containing a very thin carbohydrate top layer (2 nm) show the highest discrimination (factor 80) between the different strains. Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, it was possible to quantify in vivo the type 1-fimbriated E. coli down to an optical density of OD600 = 0.0004 with a theoretical limit of 0.00005. Surprisingly, the selectivity and sensitivity of the sensing remained the same even in the presence of a large excess of nonbinding bacteria, making the system useful for the rapid and selective detection of pathogens in complex matrices. As the presented covalent nanolayer system is modularly built, it opens the opportunity to develop a broad band of mobile sensing devices suitable for various field applications such as bedside diagnostics or monitoring for bacterial contamination, e.g., in bioreactors.

Abstract
An outbreak of foodborne pathogens would cause severe consequences. Detecting and diagnosing foodborne diseases is crucial for food safety, and it is increasingly important to develop fast, sensitive, and cost-effective methods for detecting foodborne pathogens. In contrast to traditional methods, such as medium-based culture, nucleic acid amplification test, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, electrochemical biosensors possess the advantages of simplicity, rapidity, high sensitivity, miniaturization, and low cost, making them ideal for developing pathogen-sensing devices. The biorecognition layer, consisting of recognition elements, such as aptamers, antibodies and bacteriophages, and other biomolecules or polymers, is the most critical component to determine the selectivity, specificity, reproducibility, and lifetime of a biosensor when detecting pathogens in a biosample. Furthermore, nanomaterials have been frequently used to improve electrochemical biosensors for sensitively detecting foodborne pathogens due to their high conductivity, surface-to-volume ratio, and electrocatalytic activity. In this review, we survey the characteristics of biorecognition elements and nanomaterials in constructing electrochemical biosensors applicable for detecting foodborne pathogens during the past five years. As well as the challenges and opportunities of electrochemical biosensors in the application of foodborne pathogen detection are discussed.

Abstract
Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) has become one of the major threats to public health and food safety. However, the culture method as a gold standard for the detection of E. coli O157:H7 requires laborious operations and a long processing time. Herein, we developed a dual-readout aggregation-induced emission nanoparticle-based lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) for sensitive detection of E. coli O157:H7 to achieve a qualitative and quantitative assay for satisfying the applications under varying scenarios. 2,3-Bis(4-(bis(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)amino)phenyl)fumaronitrile (BAPF), an aggregation-induced emission luminogen, was designed to achieve a strong molar extinction coefficient (3.0 × 104 M-1 cm-1) and high quantum yield (33.28%), which was further verified by a large rotation angle and low energy gap. Subsequently, BAPFs were integrated into a nanostructured system to form excellent water-soluble nanoparticles (BAPFNPs) for the detection of E. coli O157:H7 with colorimetric and fluorescent readout. The designed BAPFNPs-based LFIA (BAPFNPs-LFIA) exhibited nearly qualitative ability with gold nanoparticles-LFIA (AuNPs-LFIA) and a 9 times enhancement compared with quantum beads-LFIA (QBs-LFIA) in quantitative aspect. Especially, FL-BAPFNPs-LFIA could detect E. coli O157:H7 earlier than QBs-LFIA and AuNPs-LFIA when samples with low E. coli O157:H7 concentrations were cultured. Overall, the proposed strategy revealed that versatile BAPFNPs have great potential as reporters for dual-readout ability and enhancing detection sensitivity for rapid and accurate pathogenic bacteria assay.

Abstract
Chronic wounds caused due to bacterial biofilms are detrimental to a patient, and an immediate diagnosis of these bacteria can aid in an effective treatment, which is still an unmet clinical need. An instant and accurate identification of bacterial type could be made by utilizing the Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs) combined with Myeloid Differentiation factor 2 (MD-2). Given this, we have developed an electrochemical sensing platform to identify the gram-negative (gram-ve) bacteria using TLR4/MD-2 complex. The nonthermal plasma (NTP) technique was utilized to functionalize amine groups onto the carbon surface to fabricate cost-effective carbon paste working electrodes (CPEs). The proposed electrochemical sensor platform with a specially engineered electrochemical cell (E-Cell) identified the Escherichia coli (E. coli) in a wide linear range of 1.5×10° - 1.5×106 C.F.U./mL, accounting for a very low detection limit of 0.087 C.F.U./mL. The novel and cost-effective sensor platform identified gram-ve bacteria predominantly in a mixture of gram positive (gram+ve) bacteria and fungi. Further, towards real-time detection of bacteria and point-of-care (PoC) applications, the effect of the pond water matrix was studied, which was minimal, and the sensor could identify E. coli concentrations selectively, showing the potential application of the proposed platform towards real-time bacterial detection.

Abstract
Wastewater is discarded from several sources, including industry, livestock, fertilizer application, and municipal waste. If the disposed of wastewater has not been treated and processed before discharge to the environment, pathogenic microorganisms and toxic chemicals are accumulated in the disposal area and transported into the surface waters. The presence of harmful microbes is responsible for thousands of human deaths related to water-born contamination every year. To be able to take the necessary step and quick action against the possible presence of harmful microorganisms and substances, there is a need to improve the effective speed of identification and treatment of these problems. Biosensors are such devices that can give quantitative information within a short period of time. There have been several biosensors developed to measure certain parameters and microorganisms. The discovered biosensors can be utilized for the detection of axenic and mixed microbial strains from the wastewaters. Biosensors can further be developed for specific conditions and environments with an in-depth understanding of microbial organization and interaction within that community. In this regard, bacteriophage-based biosensors have become a possibility to identify specific live bacteria in an infected environment. This paper has investigated the current scenario of microbial community analysis and biosensor development in identifying the presence of pathogenic microorganisms.

Abstract
Infectious diseases (such as sepsis, influenza, and malaria), caused by various pathogenic bacteria and viruses, are widespread across the world. Early and rapid detection of disease-related pathogens is necessary to reduce their spread in the world and prevent their potential global pandemics. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) technology, as the next-generation molecular diagnosis technique, holds immense promise in the detection of infectious diseases because of its remarkable advantages, including supreme flexibility, sensitivity, and specificity. While numerous CRISPR-based biosensors have been developed for application in environmental monitoring, food safety, and point-of-care diagnosis, there remains a critical need to summarize and explore their potential in human health. This review aims to address this gap by focusing on the latest advancements in CRISPR-based biosensors for infectious disease detection. We provide an overview of the current status, pre-amplification methods, the unique feature of each CRISPR system, and the design of CRISPR-based biosensing strategies to detect disease-associated nucleic acids. Last but not least, the review analyzes the current challenges and provides future perspectives, which will contribute to developing more effective CRISPR-based biosensors for human health.

Abstract
The rapid, inexpensive, and on-site detection of bacterial contaminants using highly sensitive and specific microfluidic sensors is attracting substantial attention in water quality monitoring applications. Cell-imprinted polymers (CIPs) have emerged as robust, cost-effective, and versatile recognition materials with selective binding sites for capturing whole bacteria. However, electrochemical transduction of the binding event to a measurable signal within a microfluidic device to develop easy-to-use, compact, portable, durable, and affordable sensors remains a challenge. For this paper, we employed CIP-functionalized microwires (CIP-MWs) with an affinity towards E. coli and integrated them into a low-cost microfluidic sensor to measure the conductometric transduction of CIP-bacteria binding events. The sensor comprised two CIP-MWs suspended perpendicularly to a PDMS microchannel. The inter-wire electrical resistance of the microchannel was measured before, during, and after exposure of CIP-MWs to bacteria. A decline in the inter-wire resistance of the sensor after 30 min of incubation with bacteria was detected. Resistance change normalization and the subsequent analysis of the sensor's dose-response curve between 0 to 109 CFU/mL bacteria revealed the limits of detection and quantification of 2.1 × 105 CFU/mL and 7.3 × 105 CFU/mL, respectively. The dynamic range of the sensor was 104 to 107 CFU/mL where the bacteria counts were statistically distinguishable from each other. A linear fit in this range resulted in a sensitivity of 7.35 μS per CFU/mL. Experiments using competing Sarcina or Listeria cells showed specificity of the sensor towards the imprinted E. coli cells. The reported CIP-MW-based conductometric microfluidic sensor can provide a cost-effective, durable, portable, and real-time solution for the detection of pathogens in water.

Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1275:341567. [PMID: 37524461 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341567] [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: 05/02/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023]
Abstract
Whole-cell bacteria imprinted polymer-based sensors still face challenges in the form of the difficulty of removing the template entirely, low affinity, and poor sensitivity. To further improve their performance, it is pivotal to modulate the morphology and chemical properties of imprintied polymer by taking advantage of doping engineering. Here we introduced D-tartaric acid (D-TA) as a dopant and employed pyrrole as a functional monomer to construct D-TA/polypyrrole (PPy)-based bacteria imprinted polymer (DPBIP) sensor for Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) detection. It is demonstrated that D-TA doping can synergistically accelerate the removal of template bacteria from imprinted polymers (1.5 h), improve bacteria affinity of imprinted sites (the recognition time of 30 min), and enhance the sensitivity of DPBIP sensor (a detection limit of 19 CFU mL-1). The DPBIP sensor had a linear range of 102∼106 CFU mL-1 and exhibited high selectivity and good repeatability. Moreover, a recovery of 94.8%-105.3% was achieved in drinking water and oyster samples. Therefore, small functional molecules doping opens a new avenue to engineering BIP-based sensors with high performance, holding potential applications in securing food safety.

Abstract
The rapid, sensitive, and selective detection of pathogenic bacteria is of utmost importance in ensuring food safety and preventing the spread of infectious diseases. Here, we present a novel, reusable, and cost-effective impedimetric sensor based on a dual bacteria-imprinted polymer (DBIP) for the specific detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Staphylococcus aureus. The DBIP sensor stands out with its remarkably short fabrication time of just 20 min, achieved through the efficient electro-polymerization of o-phenylenediamine monomer in the presence of dual bacterial templates, followed by in-situ template removal. The key structural feature of the DBIP sensor lies in the cavity-free imprinting sites, indicative of a thin layer of bacterial surface imprinting. This facilitates rapid rebinding of the target bacteria within a mere 15 min, while the sensing interface regenerates in just 10 min, enhancing the sensor's overall efficiency. A notable advantage of the DBIP sensor is its exceptional selectivity, capable of distinguishing the target bacteria from closely related bacterial strains, including different serotypes. Moreover, the sensor exhibits high sensitivity, showcasing a low detection limit of approximately 9 CFU mL-1. The sensor's reusability further enhances its cost-effectiveness, reducing the need for frequent sensor replacements. The practicality of the DBIP sensor was demonstrated in the analysis of real apple juice samples, yielding good recoveries. The integration of quick fabrication, high selectivity, rapid response, sensitivity, and reusability makes the DBIP sensor a promising solution for monitoring pathogenic bacteria, playing a crucial role in ensuring food safety and safeguarding public health.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive label-free electrochemical sensor based on a homemade imprinted polypyrrole (PPy) polymer film was prepared to achieve quantitative determination of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG). The LGG-imprinted polymer (LIP) film was deposited on a portable screen-printed electrode (SPE) via electropolymerization, which constituted an independent integrated system. The main preparation parameters of the LIP sensor were investigated to obtain optimal performance. Under optimized conditions, the peak current response of the LIP sensor showed a linear relationship with the logarithmic value of LGG concentration in the range from 101 to 109 CFU mL-1 and a detection limit of 5 CFU mL-1. The proposed LIP sensor has achieved efficient, ultrasensitive, highly selective, and cost-effective detection of LGG and can be further developed for practical applications in the quality inspection and development of probiotic products.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to introduce a new electrochemical aptasensor based on the tyramide signal amplification (TSA) technology for a highly-sensitive detection of the pathogenic bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus, as a model of foodborne pathogens. In this aptasensor, the primary aptamer, SA37, was used to specifically capture bacterial cells; the secondary aptamer, SA81@HRP, was used as the catalytic probe; and a TSA-based signal enhancement system comprising of biotinyl-tyramide and streptavidin-HRP as electrocatalytic signal tags was adopted to fabricate the sensor and improve the detection sensitivity. S. aureus cells were selected as the pathogenic bacteria to verify the analytical performance of this TSA-based signal-enhancement electrochemical aptasensor platform. After the simultaneous binding of SA37-S. aureus-SA81@HRP formed on the gold electrode, thousands of @HRP molecules could be bound onto the biotynyl tyramide (TB) displayed on the bacterial cell surface through a catalytic reaction between HRP and H2O2, resulting in the generation of the highly amplified signals mediated by HRP reactions. This developed aptasensor could detect S. aureus bacterial cells at an ultra-low concentration, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 3 CFU/mL in buffer. Furthermore, this chronoamperometry aptasensor successfully detected target cells in both tap water and beef broth with LOD to be 8 CFU/mL, which are very high sensitivity and specificity. Overall, this electrochemical aptasensor using TSA-based signal-enhancement could be a very useful tool for the ultrasensitive detection of foodborne pathogens in food and water safety and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacterial infection is one of the principal causes affecting human health and ecosystems. The accurate identification of bacteria in food and water samples is of significant interests to maintain safety and health for humans. Culture-based tests are practically tedious and may produce false-positive results, while viable but non-culturable microorganisms (NCMs) cannot be retrieved. Thus, it requires fast, reliable, and low-cost detection strategies for on-field analysis and point-of-care (POC) monitoring. The standard detection methods such as nucleic acid analysis (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are still challenging in POC practice due to their time-consuming (several hours to days) and expensive laboratory operations. The optical (surface plasmon resonance (SPR), fluorescence, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)) and electrochemical-based detection of microbes (early stage of infective diseases) have been considered as alternative routes in the emerging world of nanostructured biosensing since they can attain a faster and concurrent screening of several pathogens in real samples. Moreover, optical and electrochemical detection strategies are opening a new route for the ability of detecting pathogens through the integration of cellphones, which is well fitted for POC analysis. This review article covers the current state of sensitive mechanistic approaches for the screening and detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli) pathogens in food and water samples, which can be potentially applied in clinical and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
The emergence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) motivates continuous efforts to develop robust and accurate diagnostic tests to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Detection of viral nucleic acids provides the highest sensitivity and selectivity for diagnosing early and asymptomatic infection because the human immune system may not be active at this stage. Therefore, this work aims to develop a label-free electrochemical DNA biosensor for SARS-CoV-2 detection using a printed circuit board-based gold substrate (PCBGE). The developed sensor used the nucleocapsid phosphoprotein (N) gene as a biomarker. The DNA sensor-based PCBGE was fabricated by self-assembling a thiolated single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) probe onto an Au surface, which performed as the working electrode (WE). The Au surface was then treated with 6-mercapto-1-hexanol (MCH) before detecting the target N gene to produce a well-oriented arrangement of the immobilized ssDNA chains. The successful fabrication of the biosensor was characterized using cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The DNA biosensor performances were evaluated using a synthetic SARS-CoV-2 genome and 20 clinical RNA samples from healthy and infected individuals through EIS. The developed DNA biosensor can detect as low as 1 copy per μL of the N gene within 5 minutes with a LOD of 0.50 μM. Interestingly, the proposed DNA sensor could distinguish the expression of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in a patient diagnosed with COVID-19 without any amplification technique. We believe that the proposed DNA sensor platform is a promising point-of-care (POC) device for COVID-19 viral infection since it offers a rapid detection time with a simple design and workflow detection system, as well as an affordable diagnostic assay.

Abstract
Single-impact electrochemistry for the analysis of bacteria is a powerful technique for biosensing applications at the single-cell scale. The sensitivity of this electro-analytical method has been widely demonstrated based on chronoamperometric measurements at an ultramicroelectrode polarized at the appropriate potential of redox species in solution. Furthermore, the most recent studies display a continuous improvement in the ability of this sensitive electrochemical method to identify different bacterial strains with better selectivity. To achieve this, several strategies, such as the presence of a redox mediator, have been investigated for detecting and identifying the bacterial cell through its own electrochemical behavior. Both the blocking electrochemical impacts method and electrochemical collisions of single bacteria with a redox mediator are reported in this review and discussed through relevant examples. An original sensing strategy for virulence factors originating from pathogenic bacteria is also presented, based on a recent proof of concept dealing with redox liposome single-impact electrochemistry. The limitations, applications, perspectives, and challenges of single-impact electrochemistry for bacteria analysis are briefly discussed, based on the most significant published data.

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
A fluorescent biosensor strategy was developed in combination with immunomagnetic separation for rapid and sensitive detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) modified with aptamer of SEB could capture the SEB. Then the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) fluorescent probe was added and a "sandwich structure" was formed between AuNPs, SEB and MNPs. The MNPs-SEB-AuNPs structure could be separated with an additional magnetic field, which resulted the lower signals of AuNPs fluorescent probe. In optimal conditions, the current method displayed a broad quantitative range from 100 to 107 fg/mL and the limit of detection was 3.43 fg/mL. The recovery of SEB-spiked milk samples ranged from 92.00 to 119.00 %, which revealed that the developed method had great accuracy. Furthermore, the method was fast and economical for ultrasensitive detection. Therefore, the fluorescent biosensor based on MNPs-AuNPs is promising for the detection of other environmental and food pollutants.

Zamzami M, Alamoudi S, Ahmad A, Choudhry H, Khan MI, Hosawi S, Rabbani G, Shalaan ES, Arkook B. Direct Identification of Label-Free Gram-Negative Bacteria with Bioreceptor-Free Concentric Interdigitated Electrodes. BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:179. [PMID: 36831945 PMCID: PMC9953431 DOI: 10.3390/bios13020179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
This investigation demonstrates an electrochemical method for directly identifying unlabeled Gram-negative bacteria without other additives or labeling agents. After incubation, the bacterial cell surface is linked to the interdigitated electrode through electroadsorption. Next, these cells are exposed to a potential difference between the two electrodes. The design geometry of an electrode has a significant effect on the electrochemical detection of Gram-negative bacteria. Therefore, electrode design geometry is a crucial factor that needs to be considered when designing electrodes for electrochemical sensing. They provide the area for the reaction and are responsible for transferring electrons from one electrode to another. This work aims to study the available design in the commercial market to determine the most suitable electrode geometry with a high detection sensitivity that can be used to identify and quantify bacterial cells in normal saline solutions. To work on detecting bacterial cells without the biorecognition element, we have to consider the microelectrode's design, which makes it very susceptible to bacteria size. The concentration-dilution technique measures the effect of the concentration on label-free Gram-negative bacteria in a normal saline solution without needing bio-recognized elements for a fast screening evaluation. This method's limit of detection (LOD) cannot measure concentrations less than 102 CFU/mL and cannot distinguish between live and dead cells. Nevertheless, this approach exhibited excellent detection performance under optimal experimental conditions and took only a few hours.

Abstract
Introduction: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional polypeptide cytokine composed of two glycoprotein chains, which plays an important role in many cellular reactions, pathological processes, diagnosis and treatment of diseases and so on. The detection of IL-6 plays a promising role in the cognition of clinical diseases. Methods: 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) was immobilized on the gold nanoparticles modified platinum carbon (PC) electrode with the linker IL-6 antibody, and finally formed an electrochemical sensor that specifically recognized IL-6. Through the highly specific antigen-antibody reaction, the IL-6 concentration of the samples to be detected. The performance of the sensor was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Results: The experimental results showed that the linear detection range of the sensor for IL-6 was 100 pg/mL-700 pg/mL and the detection limit was 3 pg/mL. In addition, the sensor had the advantages of high specificity, high sensitivity, high stability and reproducibility under the interference environment of bovine serum albumin (BSA), glutathione (GSH), glycine (Gly) and neuron specific enolase (NSE), which provided a prospect for specific antigen detection sensor. Discussion: The prepared electrochemical sensor successfully detected the content of IL-6 in standard and biological samples, showing excellent detection performance. No significant difference was found between the detection results of the sensor and that of ELISA. The sensor showed a very broad prospect in the application and detection of clinical samples.

Abstract
The improvement of laboratory diagnosis is a critical step for the reduction of syphilis cases around the world. In this paper, we present the development of an impedance-based method for detecting T. pallidum antigens and antibodies as an auxiliary tool for syphilis laboratory diagnosis. We evaluate the voltammetric signal obtained after incubation in carbon or gold nanoparticle-modified carbon electrodes in the presence or absence of Poly-L-Lysine. Our results indicate that the signal obtained from the electrodes was sufficient to distinguish between infected and non-infected samples immediately (T0') or 15 min (T15') after incubation, indicating its potential use as a point-of-care method as a screening strategy.

Abstract
The development of efficient point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tools for detecting infectious diseases caused by destructive pathogens plays an important role in clinical and environmental monitoring. Nevertheless, evolving complex and inconsistent antibiotic-resistant species mire their drug efficacy. In this regard, substantial effort has been expended to develop electrochemical sensors, which have gained significant interest for advancing POC testing with rapid and accurate detection of resistant bacteria at a low cost compared to conventional phenotype methods. This review concentrates on the recent developments in electrochemical sensing techniques that have been applied to assess the diverse latent antibiotic resistances of pathogenic bacteria. It deliberates the prominence of biorecognition probes and tailor-made nanomaterials used in electrochemical antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST). In addition, the bimodal functional efficacy of nanomaterials that can serve as potential transducer electrodes and the antimicrobial agent was investigated to meet the current requirements in designing sensor module development. In the final section, we discuss the challenges with contemporary AST sensor techniques and extend the key ideas to meet the demands of the next POC electrochemical sensors and antibiotic design modules in the healthcare sector.

Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors are a family of biosensors that use an electrochemical transducer to perform their functions. In recent decades, many electrochemical biosensors have been created for pathogen detection. These biosensors for detecting infections have been comprehensively studied in terms of transduction elements, biorecognition components, and electrochemical methods. This review discusses the biorecognition components that may be used to identify pathogens. These include antibodies and aptamers. The integration of transducers and electrode changes in biosensor design is a major discussion topic. Pathogen detection methods can be categorized by sample preparation and secondary binding processes. Diagnostics in medicine, environmental monitoring, and biothreat detection can benefit from electrochemical biosensors to ensure food and water safety. Disposable and reusable biosensors for process monitoring, as well as multiplexed and conformal pathogen detection, are all included in this review. It is now possible to identify a wide range of diseases using biosensors that may be applied to food, bodily fluids, and even objects' surfaces. The sensitivity of optical techniques may be superior to electrochemical approaches, but optical methods are prohibitively expensive and challenging for most end users to utilize. On the other hand, electrochemical approaches are simpler to use, but their efficacy in identifying infections is still far from satisfactory.

Abstract
Pathogen infections have seriously threatened human health, and there is an urgent demand for rapid and efficient pathogen identification to provide instructions in clinical diagnosis and therapeutic intervention. Recently, nanopore technology, a rapidly maturing technology which delivers ultrasensitive sensing and high throughput in real-time and at low cost, has achieved success in pathogen detection. Furthermore, the remarkable development of nanopore sequencing, for example, the MinION sequencer from Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) as a competitive sequencing technology, has facilitated the rapid analysis of disease-related microbiomes at the whole-genome level and on a large scale. Here, we highlighted recent advances in nanopore approaches for pathogen detection at the single-molecule level. We also overviewed the applications of nanopore sequencing in pathogenic bacteria identification and diagnosis. In the end, we discussed the challenges and future developments of nanopore technology as promising tools for the management of infections, which may be helpful to aid understanding as well as decision-making.

Abstract
This paper describes a simple strategy to identify bacteria using the optical properties of the nanohybrid structures (NHs) of polymer-coated metal nanoparticles (NPs). NHs, in which many small NPs are encapsulated in polyaniline particles, are useful optical labels because they produce strong scattered light. The light-scattering characteristics of NHs are strongly dependent on the constituent metal elements of NPs. Gold NHs (AuNHs), silver NHs (AgNHs), and copper NHs (CuNHs) produce white, reddish, and bluish scattered light, respectively. Moreover, unlike NPs, the color of the scattered light does not change even when NHs are aggregated. Introducing an antibody into NHs induces antigen-specific binding to cells, enabling the identification of bacteria based on light scattering. Multiple bacterial species adsorbed on the slide can be identified within a single field of view under a dark field microscope based on the color of the scattered light. Therefore, it is a useful development for safety risk assessments at manufacturing sites, such as those for foods, beverages, and drugs, and environmental surveys that require rapid detection of multiple bacteria.

Abstract
The release of chemicals and microorganisms from various sources, such as industry, agriculture, animal farming, wastewater treatment plants, and flooding, into water systems have caused water pollution in several parts of our world, endangering aquatic ecosystems and individual health. World Health Organization (WHO) has introduced strict standards for the maximum concentration limits for nutrients and chemicals in drinking water, surface water, and groundwater. It is crucial to have rapid, sensitive, and reliable analytical detection systems to monitor the pollution level regularly and meet the standard limit. Electrochemical biosensors are advantageous analytical devices or tools that convert a bio-signal by biorecognition elements into a significant electrical response. Thanks to the micro/nano fabrication techniques, electrochemical biosensors for sensitive, continuous, and real-time detection have attracted increasing attention among researchers and users worldwide. These devices take advantage of easy operation, portability, and rapid response. They can also be miniaturized, have a long-life span and a quick response time, and possess high sensitivity and selectivity and can be considered as portable biosensing assays. They are of special importance due to their great advantages such as affordability, simplicity, portability, and ability to detect at on-site. This review paper is concerned with the basic concepts of electrochemical biosensors and their applications in various water quality monitoring, such as inorganic chemicals, nutrients, microorganisms' pollution, and organic pollutants, especially for developing real-time/online detection systems. The basic concepts of electrochemical biosensors, different surface modification techniques, bio-recognition elements (BRE), detection methods, and specific real-time water quality monitoring applications are reviewed thoroughly in this article.

BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:473. [PMID: 35884276 PMCID: PMC9312918 DOI: 10.3390/bios12070473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2022] [Revised: 06/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
The development of precise and efficient diagnostic tools enables early treatment and proper isolation of infected individuals, hence limiting the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The standard diagnostic tests used by healthcare workers to diagnose severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection have some limitations, including longer detection time, the need for qualified individuals, and the use of sophisticated bench-top equipment, which limit their use for rapid SARS-CoV-2 assessment. Advances in sensor technology have renewed the interest in electrochemical biosensors miniaturization, which provide improved diagnostic qualities such as rapid response, simplicity of operation, portability, and readiness for on-site screening of infection. This review gives a condensed overview of the current electrochemical sensing platform strategies for SARS-CoV-2 detection in clinical samples. The fundamentals of fabricating electrochemical biosensors, such as the chosen electrode materials, electrochemical transducing techniques, and sensitive biorecognition molecules, are thoroughly discussed in this paper. Furthermore, we summarised electrochemical biosensors detection strategies and their analytical performance on diverse clinical samples, including saliva, blood, and nasopharyngeal swab. Finally, we address the employment of miniaturized electrochemical biosensors integrated with microfluidic technology in viral electrochemical biosensors, emphasizing its potential for on-site diagnostics applications.

Abstract
Interpretation of impedance spectroscopy data requires both a description of the chemistry and physics that govern the system and an assessment of the error structure of the measurement. The approach presented here includes use of graphical methods to guide model development, use of a measurement model analysis to assess the presence of stochastic and bias errors, and a systematic development of interpretation models in terms of the proposed reaction mechanism and physical description. Application to corrosion, batteries, and biological systems is discussed, and emerging trends in interpretation and implementation of impedance spectroscopy are presented.

Abstract
For a long time, people have been eager to realize continuous real-time online monitoring of biological compounds. Fortunately, in vivo electrochemical biosensor technology has greatly promoted the development of biological compound detection. This article summarizes the existing in vivo electrochemical detection technologies into two categories: microdialysis (MD) and microelectrode (ME). Then we summarized and discussed the electrode surface time, pollution resistance, linearity and the number of instances of simultaneous detection and analysis, the composition and characteristics of the sensor, and finally, we also predicted and prospected the development of electrochemical technology and sensors in vivo.

Real-Time Fluorescence Imaging of His-Tag-Driven Conjugation of mCherry Proteins to Silver Nanowires. CHEMOSENSORS 2022.

Abstract
In this work, we aimed to apply fluorescence microscopy to image protein conjugation to Ni-NTA modified silver nanowires in real time via the His-tag attachment. First, a set of experiments was designed and performed for the mixtures of proteins and silver nanowires in order to demonstrate plasmon enhancement of mCherry protein fluorescence as well as the ability to image fluorescence of single molecules. The results indicated strong enhancement of single-protein fluorescence emission upon coupling with silver nanowires. This conclusion was supported by a decrease in the fluorescence decay time of mCherry proteins. Real-time imaging was carried out for a structure created by dropping protein solution onto a glass substrate with functionalized silver nanowires. We observed specific attachment of mCherry proteins to the nanowires, with the recognition time being much longer than in the case of streptavidin–biotin conjugation. This result indicated that it is possible to design a universal and efficient real-time sensing platform with plasmonically active functionalized silver nanowires.

J Immunol Methods 2022; 501:113208.

Abstract
The indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is the gold standard method for monoclonal antibody (McAb) detection and plays a unique role in the preparation of bacterial antibodies. To solve the laborious issues associated with indirect ELISA, a novel bacterial coloration immunofluorescence strip (BCIFS) for antibody detection using colored bacteria instead of a labeled antibody as the antigen and tracer simultaneously and goat anti-mouse IgG as the test line was developed. The affinity range survey of BCIFS indicated that hybridoma cell cultures of E. coli O157:H7 (D3, E7) and Vibrio parahemolyticus (H7, C9) were detected, which complied with the results of indirect ELISA. Compared with the traditional indirect ELISA, the BCIFS sensitivity for E7 cell cultures, ascites, and purified antibodies was at least 4-fold more sensitive, and the BCIFS cross-reactivity for E7 cell cultures was almost consistent with that of indirect ELISA. In addition, the BCIFS isotypes for E. coli O157:H7 cell cultures and Vibrio parahemolyticus were IgG2a and IgG1, respectively, which were identical to the indirect ELISA. Furthermore, the BCIFS method was confirmed by McAb preparation, effective antibody use, and targeted antibody-secreted hybridoma preparation and screening, which showed excellent performance and substitution of the indirect ELISA method. Combined with methylcellulose semisolid medium, BCIFS offers a novel, easy to operate, rapid preparation method for antigen-specific hybridomas. This is the first report using BCIFS instead of indirect ELISA for bacterial antibody detection and application in different samples, which demonstrates a rapid and powerful tool for antibody engineering.
