[PMID: 39045403 PMCID: PMC11265568 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra01906g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Antibiotics of aminoglycoside (AMG) class, such as streptomycin (STR), have been widely used to treat infectious diseases caused by Gram-negative bacteria in livestock and humans. In this study, a selective and sensitive colorimetric probe for the determination of STR was proposed based on eco-friendly green synthesized AgNPs from the leaf extract of Manilkara zapota. The mechanism for the detection of STR is based on the electrostatic interaction of opposite charges between negatively charged silver nanoparticle-Manilkara zapota leaf (AgNP-MZL) and STR, causing an aggregation-induced characteristic shift of the SPR band (from 390 nm to 570 nm wavelength) of AgNP-MZL. The morphology, size distribution and optical properties of AgNP-MZL were characterized using UV/visible absorption spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, XRD, DLS, zeta-potential measurements and TEM. The selective determination of STR was experimentally confirmed by performing controlled testing with other classes of antibiotics. To test the sensitivity level of this method, the ratio of these two A 390/A 570 absorbance wavelengths was selected to provide a linear concentration plot between 5 and 100 ng mL-1 STR. The LOD and LOQ were calculated to be 3.5 ng mL-1 and 26.8 ng mL-1, respectively. Good precision was evaluated with a standard deviation of 0.45 ng mL-1 and a relative standard deviation of 2.0% (intraday) and 2.42% (interday) at 10 ng mL-1 for 3 replicate measurements. Advantages of the green synthesis of AgNP-MZL include its eco-friendly nature and it is easy, efficient, cost effective and selective for the detection of the AMG class of antibiotics, i.e. STR, in agricultural and environmental samples.

Abstract
Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs), also called nanozymes, are very attractive as an alternative to horseradish peroxidase in immunoassay development due to their simple and low-cost synthesis, stability and high catalytic activity. Today, there is a method for highly effective PBNP synthesis based on the reduction of an FeCl3/K3[Fe(CN)6] mixture by hydrogen peroxide. However, there is a lack of research showcasing the use of these highly effective PBNPs for specific target detection in clinical settings, as well as a lack of comprehensive comparisons with conventional methods. To address this gap, we prepared diagnostic reagents based on highly effective PBNPs by modifying them using gelatin and attaching anti-C-reactive protein (CRP) monoclonal antibodies through cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. As a result, a solid-phase colorimetric immunoassay in a sandwich format (nanozyme-linked immunosorbent assay [NLISA]) using highly effective PBNPs as a label for CRP detection has been demonstrated for the first time. The assay demonstrated a detection limit of 21.8 pg/mL, along with acceptable selectivity, precision (CV < 25%) and accuracy (the recovery index was within acceptable limits (75-125%) for LLOQ /ULOQ range. The analytical performance of this method is on par with sensitive assays developed in the last 5 years. Notably, the results obtained from NLISA align with those from an immunofluorescence assay conducted by a certified clinical laboratory. Furthermore, this study underscores the technological challenges involved in constructing an analysis that necessitate further exploration.

[PMID: 38497014 PMCID: PMC10938435 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c09134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024]
Abstract
In this study, a simple and sensitive colorimetric assay has been developed for total antioxidant capacity measurement. The assay is based on the absorption measurement of the bluish-green oxidized product (ABTS·+) formed as a result of the oxidation reaction of the chromogenic reagent ABTS (2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) with gold(III). However, in the presence of antioxidants, the ABTS oxidation process is effectively suppressed due to the reduction of gold(III) ions to the zerovalent state forming gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Relatively lighter colors and a significant decrease in absorbance are observed depending on the total antioxidant capacity. Taking advantage of this situation, qualitative and quantitative total antioxidant capacity (TAC) measurements, with the naked eye and UV-vis spectroscopy, respectively, could be successfully performed. The assay is named "auric reducing antioxidant capacity" (AuRAC) because the gold(III) ion-reducing ability of antioxidants is measured. The AuRAC assay was applied to dietary polyphenols, vitamin C, thiol-type antioxidants, and their synthetic mixtures. Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) values obtained with the AuRAC assay were found to be compatible with those of the reference CUPRAC (cupric reducing antioxidant capacity) assay. The AuRAC assay was validated through linearity, additivity, precision, and recovery, demonstrating that the assay is reliable and robust. Compared to the simple TAC assays in the literature based on AuNP formation with subsequent surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorbance measurement, this indirect assay has a smoother linear range starting from lower antioxidant concentrations. This method displays much higher molar absorption coefficients for antioxidant compounds than other conventional single electron transfer (SET) assays because 3-e- reduction of trivalent gold (i.e., Au(III) → Au(0)) produces three chromophore cation radicals (ABTS·+) of the assay reagent. The sensor has been successfully applied to complex matrices, such as tea infusions and pharmaceutical samples. The AuRAC assay stands out with its high molar absorptivity connected to enhanced sensitivity as well as its potential to convert into a paper-based colorimetric sensor.

Abstract
Immunoassays based on antibodies as recognizing elements and enzymes as signal-generating modules are extensively used now in clinical lab diagnostics, food, and environmental analyses. However, the application of natural enzymes and antibodies has some drawbacks, such as relatively high manufacturing costs, thermal instability, and lot-to-lot variations that lower the reproducibility of results. Oligonucleotide aptamers are able to specifically bind their targets with high affinity and selectivity, so they represent a prospective alternative to protein antibodies for analyte recognition. Their main advantages include thermal stability and long shelf life, cost-efficient chemical synthesis, and negligible batch-to-batch variations. At the same time, a wide variety of non-protein peroxidase mimics are now available that show strong potential to replace protein enzymes. Here, we review and analyze non-protein biosensors that represent a nexus of these two concepts: aptamer-based sensors (aptasensors) with optical detection (colorimetric, luminescent, or fluorescent) based on different peroxidase mimics, such as DNAzymes, nanoparticles, or metal-organic frameworks.

Abstract
In this study, the aptamer of ochratoxin A (OTA) increased the negative charge density on the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and promoted the release of hydroxyl radicals and Au3+ to enhance the peroxidase-like activity of the AuNPs. The OTA bound only to the aptamer and did not adsorb non-specifically to the AuNPs. Based on these two conclusions, a label-free colorimetric aptasensor was successfully developed, enabling the precise detection of OTA within the concentration range of 10-600 nM, with a remarkably low detection limit of 6.20 nM. The colorimetric aptasensor was applied to detect OTA in oats, corn, soybeans, rice, and glutinous rice.

Abstract
The detection and monitoring of aminoglycoside antibiotics (AGAs) have become of utmost importance due to their widespread use in human and animal therapy, as well as the associated risks of exposure, toxicity, and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. In this study, we successfully synthesized casein hydrolysate peptides-functionalized silver nanoparticles (CHPs@AgNPs) and employed them as a novel colorimetric analytical platform to demonstrate remarkable specificity and sensitivity toward AGAs. The colorimetric and spectral response of the CHPs@AgNPs was observed at 405 and 520 nm, showing a linear correlation with the concentration of streptomycin, a representative AGA. The color changes from yellow to orange provided a visual indication of the analyte concentration, enabling quantitative determination for real-world samples. The AgNP assay exhibited excellent sensitivity with dynamic ranges of approximately 200-650 and 100-700 nM for streptomycin-spiked tap water and dairy whey with limits of detection found to be ∼98 and 56 nM, respectively. The mechanism behind the selective aggregation of CHPs@AgNPs in the presence of AGAs involves the amine groups of the target analytes acting as molecular bridges for electrostatic coupling with hydroxyl or carboxyl functionalities of adjacent NPs, driving the formation of stable NP aggregates. The developed assay offers several advantages, making it suitable for various practical applications. It is characterized by its simplicity, rapidity, specificity, sensitivity, and cost-effectiveness. These unique features make the method a promising tool for monitoring water quality, ensuring food safety, and dealing with emergent issues of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
This study aimed at three representative pollutants, benzidine, cyromazine, and streptomycin, which were commonly used and posed a great threat to both environment and human health, mainly to explore a fast, simple, sensitive, visible naked-eye detection method. Colorimetric detection by gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was first attempted. The cross-linking reaction occurred owing to the strong forces between the targets and AuNPs, leading to aggregation and color change. However, large-scale aggregation was easily formed and settled, which failed to achieve accurate quantification. Thus, AuNPs are considered to be used in fluorescence detection as reaction bridges. The introduction of AuNPs could effectively quench the fluorescence of Rhodamine B based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Moreover, a classical "on-off-on" fluorescence detection system was constructed based on nanomaterials. When AuNPs were added, the red fluorescence of the Rhodamine B solution could be effectively quenched (the "off" reaction). However, the tight cross-linking reaction between the three targets and AuNPs occurred through the strong affinity, causing Rhodamine B to dissociate in the solution. The fluorescence was rapidly restored, accompanied by a significant enhancement of fluorescence intensity (the "on" reaction). The fluorescent responses toward the three targets were established, resulting in good linearity in a wide range with low detection limits. Moreover, through the investigation of specificity, the fluorescence sensor exhibited satisfying selectivity and high binding affinity to the detected targets among the same types of inferences, indicating great potential for practical application. This simple, fast and sensitive fluorescence detection system was first used for simultaneously detecting three types of pollutants and finally successfully applied to real samples.

Abstract
Nanozymes are defined as nanomaterials exhibiting enzyme-like properties, and they possess both catalytic functions and nanomaterial's unique physicochemical characteristics. Due to the excellent stability and improved catalytic activity in comparison to natural enzymes, nanozymes have established a wide base for applications in environmental pollutants monitoring and remediation. Nanozymes have been applied in the detection of heavy metal ions, molecules, and organic compounds, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Additionally, within the natural environment, nanozymes can be employed for the degradation of organic and persistent pollutants such as antibiotics, phenols, and textile dyes. Further, the potential sphere of applications for nanozymes traverses from indoor air purification to anti-biofouling agents, and even they show promise in combatting pathogenic bacteria. However, nanozymes may have inherent toxicity, which can restrict their widespread utility. Thus, it is important to evaluate and monitor the interaction and transformation of nanozymes towards biosphere damage when employed within the natural environment in a cradle-to-grave manner, to assure their utmost safety. In this context, various studies have concluded that the green synthesis of nanozymes can efficiently overcome the toxicity limitations in real life applications, and nanozymes can be well utilized in the sensing and degradation of several toxic pollutants including metal ions, pesticides, and chemical warfare agents. In this seminal review, we have explored the great potential of nanozymes, whilst addressing a range of concerns, which have often been overlooked and currently restrict widespread applications and commercialization of nanozymes.

Abstract
Nanozymes are nanostructured artificial enzymes that have attracted great attention among researchers because of their ability to mimic relevant biological reactions carried out by their natural counterparts, but with the capability to overcome natural enzymes’ drawbacks such as low thermostability or narrow substrate scope. The promising enzyme-like properties of these systems make nanozymes excellent candidates for innovative solutions in different scientific fields such as analytical chemistry, catalysis or medicine. Thus, nanozymes with different type of activities are of special interest owing to their versatility since they can reproduce several biological reactions according to the substrates and the environmental conditions. In this context, gold-based nanozymes are a representative example of multifunctional structures that can perform a great number of enzyme-like activities. In addition, the combination of gold-based materials with structures of organic and inorganic chemical nature yields even more powerful hybrid nanozymes, which enhance their activity by providing improved features. This review will carry out a deep insight into gold-based nanozymes, revisiting not only the different type of biological enzymatic reactions that can be achieved with these kinds of systems, but also structural features of some of the most relevant hybrid gold-based nanozymes described in the literature. This literature review will also provide a representative picture of the potential of these structures to solve future technological challenges.

Abstract
Water quality and safety are vital to the ecological environment, social development, and ecological susceptibility. The extensive use and continuous discharge of antibiotics have caused serious water pollution; antibiotics are widely found in freshwater, drinking water, and reservoirs; and this pollution has become a common phenomenon and challenge in global water ecosystems, as water polluted by antibiotics poses serious risks to human health and the ecological environment. Therefore, the antibiotic content in water should be identified, monitored, and eliminated. Nevertheless, there is no single method that can detect all different types of antibiotics, so various techniques are often combined to produce reliable results. This review summarizes the sources of antibiotic pollution in water, covering three main aspects: (1) wastewater discharges from domestic sewage, (2) medical wastewater, and (3) animal physiology and aquaculture. The existing analytical techniques, including extraction techniques, conventional detection methods, and biosensors, are reviewed. The electrochemical biosensors have become a research hotspot in recent years because of their rapid detection, high efficiency, and portability, and the use of nanoparticles contributes to these outstanding qualities. Additionally, the comprehensive quality evaluation of various detection methods, including the linear detection range, detection limit (LOD), and recovery rate, is discussed, and the future of this research field is also prospected.

Abstract
Streptomycin (STR) an aminoglycoside antibiotic which is used against bacteria in human and animal infection, have serious side effects on different parts of human body. Therefore, there is a crucial need to detect trace amount of it in serum and food products. Aptamers are oligonucleotides or peptides, which bind their targets with high affinity and specificity. These properties make aptamers as suitable candidates for biosensing applications. A 79-mer ss-DNA aptamer was applied for the detection of small amount of STR in various aptasensors. But there is no structural information on the STR-binding aptamer and molecular details underlying the aptamer-STR binding remain unexplored. In this study we provided a 3D-structural model for 79-mer ss-DNA aptamer from the sequence. Using docking program and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation we predicted the binding pocket of ss-DNA aptamer. Our results show STR streptose ring is buried within the groove of DNA model and capped by non Watson-Crick bases. STR interacts with aptamer through forming stable hydrogen bonds. Our computational findings are in fair agreement with experimental results. With the atomic structural details, we gained new insight into the Apt-STR binding interaction that can help to further optimize aptamer efficiency in biosensing applications.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Wang L, Zhou H, Hu H, Wang Q, Chen X. Regulation Mechanism of ssDNA Aptamer in Nanozymes and Application of Nanozyme-Based Aptasensors in Food Safety. Foods 2022; 11:544. [PMID: 35206017 PMCID: PMC8871106 DOI: 10.3390/foods11040544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2021] [Revised: 02/01/2022] [Accepted: 02/05/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Food safety issues are a worldwide concern. Pathogens, toxins, pesticides, veterinary drugs, heavy metals, and illegal additives are frequently reported to contaminate food and pose a serious threat to human health. Conventional detection methods have difficulties fulfilling the requirements for food development in a modern society. Therefore, novel rapid detection methods are urgently needed for on-site and rapid screening of massive food samples. Due to the extraordinary properties of nanozymes and aptamers, biosensors composed of both of them provide considerable advantages in analytical performances, including sensitivity, specificity, repeatability, and accuracy. They are considered a promising complementary detection method on top of conventional ones for the rapid and accurate detection of food contaminants. In recent years, we have witnessed a flourishing of analytical strategies based on aptamers and nanozymes for the detection of food contaminants, especially novel detection models based on the regulation by single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) of nanozyme activity. However, the applications of nanozyme-based aptasensors in food safety are seldom reviewed. Thus, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive review on nanozyme-based aptasensors in food safety, which are arranged according to the different interaction modes of ssDNA and nanozymes: aptasensors based on nanozyme activity either inhibited or enhanced by ssDNA, nanozymes as signal tags, and other methods. Before introducing the nanozyme-based aptasensors, the regulation by ssDNA of nanozyme activity via diverse factors is discussed systematically for precisely tailoring nanozyme activity in biosensors. Furthermore, current challenges are emphasized, and future perspectives are discussed.

A Simple Yet Effective Preanalytical Strategy Enabling the Application of Aptamer-Conjugated Gold Nanoparticles for the Colorimetric Detection of Antibiotic Residues in Raw Milk. SENSORS 2022; 22:s22031281. [PMID: 35162026 PMCID: PMC8837955 DOI: 10.3390/s22031281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2021] [Revised: 12/29/2021] [Accepted: 12/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/10/2022]
Abstract
The misuse of antibiotics in the cattle sector can lead to milk contamination, with concomitant effects on the dairy industry and human health. Biosensors can be applied in this field; however, the influence of the milk matrix on their activity has been poorly studied in light of the preanalytical process. Herein, aptamer-conjugated gold nanoparticles (nanoaptasensors) were investigated for the colorimetric detection in raw milk of four antibiotics used in cattle. The effect of milk components on the colorimetric response of the nanoaptasensors was analyzed by following the selective aggregation of the nanoparticles, using the absorption ratio A520/A720. A preanalytical strategy was developed to apply the nanoaptasensors to antibiotic-contaminated raw milk samples, which involves a clarification step with Carrez reagents followed by the removal of cations through dilution, chelation (EDTA) or precipitation (NaHCO3). The colorimetric signals were detected in spiked samples at concentrations of antibiotics as low as 0.25-fold the maximum residue limits (MRLs) for kanamycin (37.5 μg/L), oxytetracycline (25 μg/L), sulfadimethoxine (6.25 μg/L) and ampicillin (1 μg/L), according to European and Chilean legislation. Overall, we conclude that this methodology holds potential for the semiquantitative analysis of antibiotic residues in raw milk obtained directly from dairy farms.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based artificial enzymes (or nanozymes) have attracted great attention in the past few years owing to their capability not only to mimic functionality but also to overcome the inherent drawbacks of the natural enzymes. Numerous advantages of nanozymes such as diverse enzyme-mimicking activities, low cost, high stability, robustness, unique surface chemistry, and ease of surface tunability and biocompatibility have allowed their integration in a wide range of biosensing applications. Several metal, metal oxide, metal-organic framework-based nanozymes have been exploited for the development of biosensing systems, which present the potential for point-of-care analysis. To highlight recent progress in the field, in this review, more than 260 research articles are discussed systematically with suitable recent examples, elucidating the role of nanozymes to reinforce, miniaturize, and improve the performance of point-of-care diagnostics addressing the ASSURED (affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid and robust, equipment-free and deliverable to the end user) criteria formulated by World Health Organization. The review reveals that many biosensing strategies such as electrochemical, colorimetric, fluorescent, and immunological sensors required to achieve the ASSURED standards can be implemented by using enzyme-mimicking activities of nanomaterials as signal producing components. However, basic system functionality is still lacking. Since the enzyme-mimicking properties of the nanomaterials are dictated by their size, shape, composition, surface charge, surface chemistry as well as external parameters such as pH or temperature, these factors play a crucial role in the design and function of nanozyme-based point-of-care diagnostics. Therefore, it requires a deliberate exertion to integrate various parameters for truly ASSURED solutions to be realized. This review also discusses possible limitations and research gaps to provide readers a brief scenario of the emerging role of nanozymes in state-of-the-art POC diagnosis system development for futuristic biosensing applications.

Abstract
The advent of molecular biology and biotechnology has given ease and comfort for the screening and detection of different animal diseases caused by bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogens. Furthermore, detection of antibiotics and its residues has advanced in recent years. However, most of the process of animal disease diagnostics is still confined in the laboratory. The next step to conduct surveillance and prevent the spread of animal infectious diseases is to detect these diseases in the field. Through the discovery and continuous development in the field of nanobiotechnology, it was found that incorporation of noble metal nanoparticles to biotechnology tools such as the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), lateral flow assays (LFAs) and dipsticks provided a promising start to conduct point-of-care diagnostics. Moreover, the modification and application of nanoparticle noble metals has increased the stability, effectiveness, sensitivity and overall efficacy of these diagnostic tools. Thus, recent advances in disease diagnostics used these noble metals such as gold, silver and platinum.

Abstract
Biosensor technology is considered to be a great alternative in analytical techniques over the conventional methods. Among many recently developed techniques and devices, aptasensors are interesting because of their high specificity, selectivity and sensitivity. Combining aptamer as a biological recognition element with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as probe, are becoming more general owing to their beneficial properties, including low cost and ability to analyze specific targets on-site and using naked eye. Hydrogen bonds, nucleic acid hybridization, aptamer-target and antigen-antibody binding, Raman signature, enzyme inhibition, and enzyme-mimicking activity are main different sensing strategies exploited in AuNPs-based optical aptasensors. In this review article, we discussed the recent advances in optical aptasensors with a special emphasis on the catalytic activity property of AuNPs.

Abstract
Designing a sensitive method for the detection of streptomycin residues in animal products is essential for controlling consumer health risk. In this study, a high-purity pencil lead graphite electrode coated with inner graphene layers and outer surface-adsorbed gold nanoparticles attached to streptomycin-specific thiolated aptamer was used as an electrochemical aptasensor. The aptasensor electrode fabrication steps were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR). Moreover, aptasensor performance during fabrication and binding of aptamer to streptomycin were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. After the binding of sreptomycin to it's specific aptamer as a component of the aptasensor a decrease in the current and an increase in the charge transfer resistance (Rct) were recorded using the above-mentioned techniques. Under optimal conditions, the novel ultra-sensetive designed aptansensor detects streptomycin in the range of 10-8 to 10-16 M with a LOD of 0.8×10-18 M. The aptansensor demonstrates a high selectivity, good reproducibility and acceptable stability for the specific detection of streptomycin. According to the results, the manufactured aptansensor is a fast, low-cost, highly sensitive and selective device and thus the aptasensor can detect the trace amounts of streptomycin in milk in dairy industries.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with catalytic activity have attracted considerable attention from researchers, but their application in the detection of hazardous substances needs to be further expanded. Herein, layered tungsten sulfide (WS2) nanosheets with peroxidase-mimicking activity were used to construct a colorimetric chemosensor for rapid detection of acetone. WS2 nanosheets can decompose H2O2 to generate hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which will further oxidize o-phenylenediamine (OPD) through hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) to form the yellow product 2,3-diaminophenazine. Acetone can block the HAT from OPD to ·OH, thus causing obvious inhibition of the peroxidase activity of WS2 nanosheets, making the solution appear pale yellow or even colorless. The investigation of catalytic kinetics indicates that the catalytic reaction consists of the 'ping pong' mechanism, and the regulatory effect of acetone on WS2 nanosheets is confirmed to be an irreversible inhibition. The chemosensor can easily distinguish a trace amount of acetone by the naked eye in less than 20 min, and has a limit of detection for acetone of as low as 3.08 mg l-1. The application in actual samples displays the accuracy and stability of the chemosensor, suggesting that such a method is promising for acetone detection.

Improving the detection limit of Salmonella colorimetry using long ssDNA of asymmetric-PCR and non-functionalized AuNPs. Anal Biochem 2021; 626:114229.

Abstract
A colorimetric sensor based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) is a simple and rapid method for detecting foodborne pathogens. However, the colorimetric method employed in previous studies involved short ssDNA (<100 nucleotides), including the aptamer and PCR products, resulting in the high detection limit of this technique. In this study, a colorimetric sensor was developed based on long ssDNA of asymmetric PCR (aPCR) and non-functionalized AuNPs for detecting Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium). In the presence of S. Typhimurium, the long ssDNA (547 nt) amplified by aPCR-protected AuNPs from NaCl-induced aggregation, while the solution retained a red color. After optimizing parameters, the limit of detection (LOD) of the colorimetric sensor was 2.56 CFU/mL with high specificity. Recovery studies showed its feasibility for detecting S. Typhimurium (102 CFU/mL, 104 CFU/mL, and 106 CFU/mL) in spiked lettuce samples. This colorimetric sensor provides new opportunities for the highly sensitive detection of bacteria in real food samples.

Abstract
Misuse of antibiotics has recently been considered a global issue because of its harmful effects on human health. Since conventional methods have numerous limitations, it is necessary to develop fast, simple, sensitive, and reproducible methods for the detection of antibiotics. Among numerous recently developed methods, aptasensors are fascinating because of their good specificity, sensitivity and selectivity. These kinds of biosensors combining aptamer with colorimetric applications of gold nanoparticles to recognize small molecules are becoming more popular owing to their advantageous features, for example, low cost, ease of use, on-site analysis ability using naked eye and no prerequisite for modern equipment. In this review, we have highlighted the recent advances and working principle of gold nanoparticles based colorimetric aptasensors as promising methods for antibiotics detection in different food and environmental samples (2011–2020). Furthermore, possible advantages and disadvantages have also been summarized for these methods. Finally, the recent challenges, outlook, and promising future perspectives for developing novel aptasensors are also considered.

Abstract
Nanozymes are advanced nanomaterials which mimic natural enzymes by exhibiting enzyme-like properties. As nanozymes offer better structural stability over their respective natural enzymes, they are ideal candidates for real-time and/or remote environmental pollutant monitoring and remediation. In this review, we classify nanozymes into four types depending on their enzyme-mimicking behaviour (active metal centre mimic, functional mimic, nanocomposite or 3D structural mimic) and offer mechanistic insights into the nature of their catalytic activity. Following this, we discuss the current environmental translation of nanozymes into a powerful sensing or remediation tool through inventive nano-architectural design of nanozymes and their transduction methodologies. Here, we focus on recent developments in nanozymes for the detection of heavy metal ions, pesticides and other organic pollutants, emphasising optical methods and a few electrochemical techniques. Strategies to remediate persistent organic pollutants such as pesticides, phenols, antibiotics and textile dyes are included. We conclude with a discussion on the practical deployment of these nanozymes in terms of their effectiveness, reusability, real-time in-field application, commercial production and regulatory considerations.

Abstract
Antibiotic abuse is becoming increasingly serious and the potential for harm to human health and the environment has aroused widespread social concern. Aminoglycoside antibiotics (AGs) are broad-spectrum antibiotics that have been widely used in clinical and animal medicine. Consequently, their residues are commonly found in animal-derived food items and the environment. A simple, rapid, and sensitive detection method for on-site screening and detection of AGs is urgently required. In recent years, with the development of molecular detection technology, nucleic acid aptamers have been successfully used as recognition molecules for the identification and detection of AGs in food and the environment. These aptamers have high affinities, selectivities, and specificities, are inexpensive, and can be produced with small batch-to-batch differences. This paper reviews the applications of aptamers for AG detection in colorimetric, fluorescent, chemiluminescent, surface plasmon resonance, and electrochemical sensors for the analysis in food and environmental samples. This study provides useful references for future research.

Abstract
Development of state-of-the-art assays for sensitive and specific detection of disease biomarkers has received significant interest for early detection and prevention of various diseases. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) are two examples of proteins and nucleic acid detection assays respectively, which have been widely used for the sensitive detection of target analytes in biological fluids. Recently, immuno-PCR has emerged as a sensitive detection method, where high specificity of sandwich ELISA assays is combined with high sensitivity of PCR for trace detection of biomarkers. However, inherent disadvantages of immuno-PCR assays limit their application as rapid and sensitive detection method in clinical settings. With advances in nanomaterials, nanoparticles-based immunoassays have been widely used to improve the sensitivity and simplicity of traditional immunoassays. Owing to facile synthesis, surface functionalization, and superior optical and electronic properties, gold nanoparticles have been at the forefront of sensing and detection technologies and have been extensively studied to improve the efficacies of immunoassays. This review provides a brief history of immuno-PCR assays and specifically focuses on the role of gold nanoparticles to improve the sensitivity and specificity of ELISA, PCR and immuno-PCR assays.

Abstract
Antibiotic residues are major contaminants in milk because of their use in agriculture and animal husbandry. In particular, streptomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, is a potential risk to consumers because of its ototoxicity, anaphylaxis, and growth inhibition. Herein, monoclonal antibodies for streptomycin were conjugated with europium microspheres to serve as detection probes for the development of a chromatographic time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay to detect streptomycin residues in milk. The method had a low detection limit of 0.58 µg/kg, a linear range of 0.8 to 6.25 μg/kg, and substantial recovery, from 85.6 to 108.3%. It showed slight cross-reactivity with another aminoglycoside analog. Strong correlations between the results of established chromatographic time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry indicated that the established fluoroimmunoassay is a reliable method for rapid onsite detection of streptomycin in milk and it has great potential in food safety monitoring.

Chlortetracycline-Functionalized Silver Nanoparticles as a Colorimetric Probe for Aminoglycosides: Ultrasensitive Determination of Kanamycin and Streptomycin.

Abstract
Aminoglycosides (AMGs) have been extensively used to treat infectious diseases caused by Gram-negative bacteria in livestock and humans. A selective and sensitive colorimetric probe for the determination of streptomycin and kanamycin was proposed based on chlortetracycline-coated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs-CTC) as the sensing element. Almost all of the tested aminoglycoside antibiotics can rapidly induce the aggregation of AgNPs, along with a color change from yellow to orange/red. The selective detection of aminoglycoside antibiotics, including tobramycin, streptomycin, amikacin, gentamicin, neomycin, and kanamycin, with other types of antibiotics, can be achieved by ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy. This developed colorimetric assay has ability to detect various AMGs using in-depth surface plasmon resonance (SPR) studies. With this determination of streptomycin and kanamycin was achieved at the picomolar level (pM) by using a UV-visible spectrophotometer. Under aqueous conditions, the linear range of the colorimetric sensor for streptomycin and kanamycin was 1000-1,1000 and 120-480 pM, respectively. The corresponding limit of detection was 2000 pM and 120 pM, respectively. Thus, the validated dual colorimetric and ratiometric method can find various analytical applications for the ultrasensitive and rapid detection of AMG antibiotics in water samples.

The Growing Interest in Development of Innovative Optical Aptasensors for the Detection of Antimicrobial Residues in Food Products. BIOSENSORS-BASEL 2020; 10:bios10030021. [PMID: 32138274 PMCID: PMC7146278 DOI: 10.3390/bios10030021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2019] [Revised: 02/20/2020] [Accepted: 02/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
The presence of antimicrobial residues in food-producing animals can lead to harmful effects on the consumer (e.g., allergies, antimicrobial resistance, toxicological effects) and cause issues in food transformation (i.e., cheese, yogurts production). Therefore, to control antimicrobial residues in food products of animal origin, screening methods are of utmost importance. Microbiological and immunological methods (e.g., ELISA, dipsticks) are conventional screening methods. Biosensors are an innovative solution for the development of more performant screening methods. Among the different kinds of biosensing elements (e.g., antibodies, aptamers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP), enzymes), aptamers for targeting antimicrobial residues are in continuous development since 2000. Therefore, this review has highlighted recent advances in the development of aptasensors, which present multiple advantages over immunosensors. Most of the aptasensors described in the literature for the detection of antimicrobial residues in animal-derived food products are either optical or electrochemical sensors. In this review, I have focused on optical aptasensors and showed how nanotechnologies (nanomaterials, micro/nanofluidics, and signal amplification techniques) largely contribute to the improvement of their performance (sensitivity, specificity, miniaturization, portability). Finally, I have explored different techniques to develop multiplex screening methods. Multiplex screening methods are necessary for the wide spectrum detection of antimicrobials authorized for animal treatment (i.e., having maximum residue limits).

Abstract
A novel label-free aptasensor for kanamycin detection was constructed using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as absorber to quench the fluorescence of carbon dots (CDs) via the inner filter effect (IFE). The strategy was mainly relied on the fact that the absorption spectra of AuNPs overlapped with the fluorescence excitation spectra of fluorophores as well as the specific binding capacity of Ky2 aptamer to kanamycin. Upon adding kanamycin antibiotic, the free aptamer sequences are firstly exhausted to form some complexes, which leads to AuNPs aggregation in high salt concentration. Consequently, the absorber's absorption spectrum changes and no longer overlaps with the fluorescence emission spectrum of the CDs, which results in obvious fluorescence recovery of the aptasensor. Herein, the effects of some vital parameters like the type and number of nanoparticles on the fluorescent aptasensor have been investigated. Under optimal conditions, the proposed aptasensor can detect kanamycin in a linear range of 0.04-0.24 μM, with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 18 nM. Moreover, the further studies also validate the applicability of the proposed aptasensor in milk samples, revealing that it may have enormous potential utility for practical kanamycin detection in food products in the future.

Silver nanoparticle probe for colorimetric detection of aminoglycoside antibiotics: picomolar-level sensitivity toward streptomycin in water, serum, and milk samples. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2020; 100:874-884.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The low cost of aminoglycoside (AMG) antibiotics facilitates their excessive use in animal husbandry and the agriculture sector. This scenario has led to the occurrence of residues in the food chain. After several years of AMG use in antibacterial therapy, resistance to streptomycin has begun to appear. Most of the detection methods developed for AMG antibiotics lacks specificity. A broad target specific nanoprobe would be ideal for detecting the entire class of AMGs. A rapid and sensitive method for the detection of AMGs is urgently needed. RESULTS Gallic acid-coated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were demonstrated as a nanoprobe for the colorimetric detection of AMGs (yellow to orange / red). A linear dynamic range of 50-650 pmol L-1 was achieved readily by ratiometric spectrophotometry (A560 /A400 ) with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 36 pmol L-1 . The amine-groups of the AMGs function as molecular linkers, so that electrostatic coupling interactions between neighboring particles drive the formation of AgNP aggregates. The assay can also be applied for the determination of streptomycin residues in serum and milk samples. CONCLUSION This study revealed the potential of an AgNP probe for the rapid and cost-effective detection of low-molecular-weight target analytes, such as the AMGs. A ligand-induced aggregation of AgNPs coated with gallic acid was reported to be a rapid and sensitive assay for AMGs. Analysis of streptomycin was demonstrated with excellent picomolar-level sensitivity. Thus, the validated method can find practical applications in the ultrasensitive detection of AMGs in complex and diagnostic settings. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Mikrochim Acta 2020; 187:99.

Abstract
A colorimetric assay for the determination of heavy metal ions is presented that is based on the regulation of the oxidase-mimicking activity of Mn3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) by oligonucleotides. The chromogenic agent tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is oxidized by the catalytic action of Mn3O4 NPs to generate products that have a yellow color in acidic solution, with a peak at 450 nm. It is found that random oligonucleotides are absorbed on the regular surface of the Mn3O4 NPs and temporarily inhibit the oxidation of TMB. This leads to a decrease in absorbance and a light-green coloration of the solution. The results show that the purine bases in oligonucleotides play a key role in their regulation of the activity of the NPs. The regulatory effect is assumed to be of the noncompetitive type. In the presence of heavy metal ions like Hg(II) or Cd(II), the inhibition is canceled due to the binding of heavy metal ions to thymine bases, and the color of the solution changes from light green to yellow. The increase in absorbance at 450 nm is related to the amount of heavy metal ions present. The method allows Hg(II) and Cd(II) to be determined visually in concentrations as low as 20 μg·L-1. The detection limit of the colorimetric assay is 3.8 and 2.4 μg·L-1 of Hg(II) and Cd(II), respectively. The assay displays good selectivity over other heavy metal ions. The method was successfully validated by analyzing several water samples.

Dynamic interactions between peroxidase-mimic silver NanoZymes and chlorpyrifos-specific aptamers enable highly-specific pesticide sensing in river water. Anal Chim Acta 2019; 1083:157-165.

Abstract
With growing environmental and health concerns over persistent organic compounds such as organophosphates, regulatory bodies have imposed strict regulations for their use and monitoring in water bodies. Although conventional analytical tools exist for the detection of organophosphorus pesticides, new strategies need to be developed to fulfil the ASSURED (affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid, equipment-free and deliverable to end users) criteria of the World Health Organisation. One such strategy is to employ the ability of certain nanoparticles to mimic the enzymatic activity of natural enzymes to develop optical sensors. We show that the intrinsic peroxidase-mimic NanoZyme activity of tyrosine-capped silver nanoparticles (Ag-NanoZyme) can be exploited for highly specific and rapid detection of chlorpyrifos, an organophosphorus pesticide. The underlying working principle of the proposed aptasensor is based on the dynamic non-covalent interaction of the chlorpyrifos specific aptamer (Chl) with the NanoZyme (sensor probe) vs. the pesticide target (analyte). The incorporation of the Chl aptamer ensures high specificity leading to a colorimetric response specifically in the presence of chlorpyrifos, while the sensor remains unresponsive to other pesticides from organophosphate and non-organophosphate groups. The robustness of the sensor to work directly in environmental samples was established by evaluating its ability to detect chlorpyrifos in river water samples. The excellent recovery rates demonstrate the sensor robustness, while the simplicity, and rapid sensor response (2 min) to detect the presence of chlorpyrifos highlights the capabilities of the proposed colorimetric sensing system.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles are popularly used in biological and chemical sensors and their applications owing to their fascinating chemical, optical, and catalytic properties. Particularly, the use of gold nanoparticles is widespread in colorimetric assays because of their simple, cost-effective fabrication, and ease of use. More importantly, the gold nanoparticle sensor response is a visual change in color, which allows easy interpretation of results. Therefore, many studies of gold nanoparticle-based colorimetric methods have been reported, and some review articles published over the past years. Most reviews focus exclusively on a single gold nanoparticle-based colorimetric technique for one analyte of interest. In this review, we focus on the current developments in different colorimetric assay designs for the sensing of various chemical and biological samples. We summarize and classify the sensing strategies and mechanism analyses of gold nanoparticle-based detection. Additionally, typical examples of recently developed gold nanoparticle-based colorimetric methods and their applications in the detection of various analytes are presented and discussed comprehensively.

Abstract
We herein investigate the interactions of differently functionalized anionic and cationic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with zwitterionic phosphocholine (PC) as well as inverse phosphocholine (iPC) lipid bilayers via spectroscopic measures. In this study, we used PC lipids with varying phase-transition temperatures, i.e., DMPC ( Tm = 24 °C), DOPC ( Tm = -20 °C), and iPC lipid DOCP ( Tm = -20 °C) to study their interactions with AuNPs functionalized with anionic ligands citrate, 3-mercaptopropionic acid, glutathione, and cationic ligand cysteamine. We studied the interactions by steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic studies using membrane-sensitive probes 6-propionyl-2-dimethylaminonaphthalene (PRODAN) and 8-anilino-1 naphthalenesulfonate (ANS), as well as by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) imaging and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. We observe that AuNPs bring in stability to the lipid vesicle, and the extent of interaction differs with the different surface ligands on the AuNPs. We observe that AuNPs functionalized with citrate effectively increase the phase-transition temperature of the vesicles by interacting with them. Our study reveals that the extent of interaction depends on the bulkiness of the ligands attached to the AuNPs. The bulkier ligands exert less van der Waals force, resulting in a weaker interaction. Moreover, we find that the interactions are more strongly pronounced when the vesicles are near the phase-transition temperature of the lipid. The CLSM imaging and DLS measurements demonstrate the surface modifications in the vesicles as a result of these interactions.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance and, accordingly, their pollution because of uncontrolled usage has emerged as a serious problem in recent years. Hence, there is an increased demand to develop robust, easy, and sensitive methods for rapid evaluation of antibiotics and their residues. Among different analytical methods, the aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) have attracted considerable attention because of good selectivity, specificity, and sensitivity. This review gives an overview about recently-developed aptasensors for antibiotic detection. The use of various aptamer assays to determine different groups of antibiotics, like β-lactams, aminoglycosides, anthracyclines, chloramphenicol, (fluoro)quinolones, lincosamide, tetracyclines, and sulfonamides are presented in this paper.
