[PMID: 38905963 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126356] [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: 01/28/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
Abnormal amount of dopamine (DA) in human body is closely relate to various diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, pheochromocytoma. Real-time monitoring DA is crucial for disease warning, diagnosis and treatment. Currently, most methods rely on invasive blood testing for detecting DA, which is only completed with the aid of the medical staffs in hospitals. Herein, a non-invasive fluorescence visual strategy is developed for the real-time monitoring DA, based on luminescent nanoparticles and modified mesoporous zeolite imidazole framework (ZIF-8-NH2) dodecahedrons. During the reaction process, DA is enriched through the spatial configuration of ZIF-8-NH2 and hydrogen bonding effect. The luminescence of Cr3+-doped zinc gallate (ZnGa2O4:Cr3+, ZGC) is inhibited by the photo-induced electron transfer (PET) mechanism to realize sensitively detecting DA. The intelligent sensing platform based on the designed fluorescence probe and color recognition system is structured for real-time detection of DA in urine. Furthermore, a skin-fitting hydrogel patch is prepared by combining a fluorescent probe with chitosan, which enables sensitive and accurate detection of DA in sweat without the complex sample pretreatment. The non-invasive fluorescence detection method provides an effective strategy for quantitatively monitoring DA in human fluids.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a pathogen that infects wounds and burns and causes severe infections in immunocompromised humans. The high virulence, the rise of antibiotic-resistant strains, and the easy transmissibility of P. aeruginosa necessitate its fast detection and control. The gold standard for detecting P. aeruginosa, the plate culture method, though reliable, takes several days to complete. Therefore, developing accurate, rapid, and easy-to-use diagnostic tools for P. aeruginosa is highly desirable. Nanomaterial-based biosensors are at the forefront of detecting P. aeruginosa and its secondary metabolites. This review summarises the biorecognition elements, biomarkers, immobilisation strategies, and current state-of-the-art biosensors for P. aeruginosa. The review highlights the underlying principles of bioreceptor layer engineering and the design of optical, electrochemical, mass-based, and thermal biosensors based on nanomaterials. The advantages and disadvantages of these biosensors and their future point-of-care applications are also discussed. This review outlines significant advancements in biosensors and sensors for detecting P. aeruginosa and its metabolites. Research efforts have identified biorecognition elements specific and selective towards P. aeruginosa. The stability, ease of preparation, cost-effectiveness, and integration of these biorecognition elements onto transducers are pivotal for their application in biosensors and sensors. At the same time, when developing sensors for clinically significant analytes such as P. aeruginosa, virulence factors need to be addressed, such as the sensor's sensitivity, reliability, and response time in samples obtained from patients. The point-of-care applicability of the developed sensor may be an added advantage since it enables onsite determination. In this context, optical methods developed for P. aeruginosa offer promising potential.

Abstract
DNA-aptamer-functionalized electrode arrays can provide an intriguing method for detecting pathogen-derived exometabolites. This work addresses the limitations of previous aptamer-based pathogen detection methods by introducing a novel surface design that bridges the gap between initial efforts in this area and the demands of a point-of-care device. Specifically, the use of a diblock copolymer coating on a high-density microelectrode array and Cu-mediated cross coupling reactions that allow for the exclusive functionalization of that coating by any electrode or set of electrodes in the array provides a device that is stable for 1 year and compatible with the multiplex detection of small-molecule targets. The new chemistry developed allows one to take advantage of a large number of electrodes in the array with one experiment described herein capitalizing on the use of 960 individually addressable electrodes.

Abstract
Electrode surfaces functionalized with gold nanoparticles (AuNP) are widely used in electroanalysis, electrocatalysis, and electrochemical biosensing due to their increased surface area and conductivity. Electrochemical deposition of AuNPs offers advantages over chemical synthesis, including better control over AuNP size, dispersion, and morphology. This study examines the electrodeposition of AuNPs on carbon ultramicroelectrode arrays (CUAs) focusing on electrodeposition parameters, such as deposition potential, deposition time, and gold ion concentration. Detailed analysis based on scanning electron microscopy revealed that higher reductive potentials and shorter deposition times result in smaller AuNP particle sizes and greater particle counts. Unlike previous studies using planar, macro-sized electrodes and millimolar concentrations of gold ion, as well as longer deposition times (e.g., 100-300 s), this research employed micromolar concentration ranges (25-50 μM) of gold ion solution and shorter deposition times (5-60 s) for successful electrodeposition of AuNPs on the array-based CUAs. This is attributed to the physical properties of the ultramicroelectrodes in the array geometry and the distinct material composition of the CUAs. The gold amounts deposited on the CUA electrodes were determined (88.73 ± 0.06 nmol cm-2), which were in correlation with the electrocatalytic responses for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) measured on AuNP-modified CUAs. Overall, the array-based geometry, nanometer-scale electrode sizes, and unique material composition of the CUAs significantly influence AuNP electrodeposition. This study underscores the importance of systematically characterizing the electrodeposition parameters on novel electrode surfaces.

Abstract
A highly accurate, rapid, portable, and robust platform for detecting Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) is crucial for early-stage diagnosis of typhoid to avert and control the outbreaks of this pathogen, which threaten global public health. This study presents a proof-of-concept for our developed label-free electrochemical DNA biosensor system for S. Typhi detection, which employs a printed circuit board gold electrode (PCBGE), integrated with a portable potentiostat reader. Initially, the functionalized DNA biosensor and target detection were characterized using cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods using a benchtop potentiostat. Interestingly, the newly developed DNA biosensor can identify target single-stranded DNA concentrations ranging from 10 nM to 20 μM, achieving a detection limit of 7.6 nM within a brief 5 minute timeframe. Under optimal detection conditions, the DNA biosensor exhibits remarkable selectivity, capable of distinguishing a single mismatch base pair from the target single-stranded DNA sequence. We then evaluated the feasibility of the developed DNA biosensor system as a diagnostic tool by detecting S. Typhi in 50 clinical samples using a portable potentiostat reader based on the DPV technique. Remarkably, the developed biosensor can distinctly distinguish between positive and negative samples, indicating that the miniaturised DNA biosensor system is practical for detecting S. Typhi in real biological samples. The developed DNA biosensor device in this work proves to be a promising point-of-care (POC) device for Salmonella detection due to its swift detection time, uncomplicated design, and streamlined workflow detection system.

Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials, such as carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and carbon 2D nanosheets (graphene, graphene oxide, and graphdiyne), have shown remarkable potential in various biological applications. CQDs offer tunable photoluminescence and excellent biocompatibility, making them suitable for bioimaging, drug delivery, biosensing, and photodynamic therapy. Additionally, CQDs' unique properties enable bioimaging-guided therapy and targeted imaging of biomolecules. On the other hand, carbon 2D nanosheets exhibit exceptional physicochemical attributes, with graphene excelling in biosensing and bioimaging, also in drug delivery and antimicrobial applications, and graphdiyne in tissue engineering. Their properties, such as tunable porosity and high surface area, contribute to controlled drug release and enhanced tissue regeneration. However, challenges, including long-term biocompatibility and large-scale synthesis, necessitate further research. Potential future directions encompass theranostics, immunomodulation, neural interfaces, bioelectronic medicine, and expanding bioimaging capabilities. In summary, both CQDs and carbon 2D nanosheets hold promise to revolutionize biomedical sciences, offering innovative solutions and improved therapies in diverse biological contexts. Addressing current challenges will unlock their full potential and can shape the future of medicine and biotechnology.

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
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
Microorganisms, encompassing both uni- and multicellular entities, exhibit remarkable diversity as omnipresent life forms in nature. They play a pivotal role by supplying essential components for sustaining biological processes across diverse ecosystems, including higher host organisms. The complex interactions within the human gut microbiota are crucial for metabolic functions, immune responses, and biochemical signalling, particularly through the gut-brain axis. Viruses also play important roles in biological processes, for example by increasing genetic diversity through horizontal gene transfer when replicating inside living cells. On the other hand, infection of the human body by microbiological agents may lead to severe physiological disorders and diseases. Infectious diseases pose a significant burden on global healthcare systems, characterized by substantial variations in the epidemiological landscape. Fast spreading antibiotic resistance or uncontrolled outbreaks of communicable diseases are major challenges at present. Furthermore, delivering field-proven point-of-care diagnostic tools to the most severely affected populations in low-resource settings is particularly important and challenging. New paradigms and technological approaches enabling rapid and informed disease management need to be implemented. In this respect, infectious disease diagnostics taking advantage of microfluidic systems combined with integrated biosensor-based pathogen detection offers a host of innovative and promising solutions. In this review, we aim to outline recent activities and progress in the development of microfluidic diagnostic tools. Our literature research mainly covers the last 5 years. We will follow a classification scheme based on the human body systems primarily involved at the clinical level or on specific pathogen transmission modes. Important diseases, such as tuberculosis and malaria, will be addressed more extensively.

Abstract
A novel smart biochromic textile sensor was developed by immobilizing anthocyanin extract into electrospun cellulose acetate nanofibers to detect bacteria for numerous potential uses, such as healthcare monitoring. Red-cabbage was employed to extract anthocyanin, which was then applied to cellulose acetate nanofibers treated with potassium aluminum sulfate as a mordant. Thus, nanoparticles (NPs) of mordant/anthocyanin (65-115 nm) were generated in situ on the surface of cellulose acetate nanofibrous film. The pH of a growing bacterial culture medium is known to change when bacteria multiply. The absorbance spectra revealed a bluish shift from 595 nm (purple) to 448 nm (green) during the growth of Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli) owing to the discharge of total volatile basic amines as secretion metabolites. On the other hand, the absorption spectra of a growing bacterial culture containing Gram-positive bacteria (L. acidophilus) showed a blue shift from 595 nm (purplish) to 478 nm (pink) as a result of releasing lactic acid as a secretion metabolite. Both absorbance spectra and CIE Lab parameters were used to determine the color shifts. Various analytical techniques were utilized to study the morphology of the anthocyanin-encapsulated electrospun cellulose nanofibers. The cytotoxic effects of the colored cellulose acetate nanofibers were tested.

Weber CJ, Clay OM, Lycan RE, Anderson GK, Simoska O. Advances in electrochemical biosensor design for the detection of the stress biomarker cortisol. Anal Bioanal Chem 2024; 416:87-106. [PMID: 37989847 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-023-05047-1] [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: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023]
Abstract
The monitoring of stress levels in humans has become increasingly relevant, given the recent incline of stress-related mental health disorders, lifestyle impacts, and chronic physiological diseases. Long-term exposure to stress can induce anxiety and depression, heart disease, and risky behaviors, such as drug and alcohol abuse. Biomarker molecules can be quantified in biological fluids to study human stress. Cortisol, specifically, is a hormone biomarker produced in the adrenal glands with biofluid concentrations that directly correlate to stress levels in humans. The rapid, real-time detection of cortisol is necessary for stress management and predicting the onset of psychological and physical ailments. Current methods, including mass spectrometry and immunoassays, are effective for sensitive cortisol quantification. However, these techniques provide only single measurements which pose challenges in the continuous monitoring of stress levels. Additionally, these analytical methods often require trained personnel to operate expensive instrumentation. Alternatively, low-cost electrochemical biosensors enable the real-time detection and continuous monitoring of cortisol levels while also providing adequate analytical figures of merit (e.g., sensitivity, selectivity, sensor response times, detection limits, and reproducibility) in a simple design platform. This review discusses the recent developments in electrochemical biosensor design for the detection of cortisol in human biofluids. Special emphasis is given to biosensor recognition elements, including antibodies, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), and aptamers, as critical components of electrochemical biosensors for cortisol detection. Furthermore, the advantages and limiting factors of various electrochemical techniques and sensing in complex biofluid matrices are overviewed. Remarks on the current challenges and future perspectives regarding electrochemical biosensors for stress monitoring are provided, including matrix effects (pH dependence and biological interferences), wearability, and large-scale production.

Abstract
Indirect electrochemical methods are a powerful tool for synthetic chemistry because they allow for the optimization of chemical selectivity in a reaction while maintaining the advantages of electrochemistry in terms of sustainability. Recently, we have found that such methods provide a handle for not only the synthesis of complex molecules, but also the construction of complex, addressable molecular surfaces. In this effort, the indirect electrochemical methods enable the placement or synthesis of molecules by any electrode or set of electrodes in a microelectrode array. The success of these surface-based reactions are typically evaluated with the use of fluorescence labelling studies. However, these fluorescence-based evaluations can be misleading. While they are excellent for determining that a reaction has occurred in a site-selective fashion on an array, they do not provide information on whether that reaction is the one desired or how well it worked. We describe here how the use of a "safety-catch" linker strategy allows for a more accurate assessment of reaction quality on an array, and then use that capability to illustrate how the use of transition metal mediated cross-coupling reactions on an array prevent unwanted background reactions that can occur on a polymer-coated electrode surface. The method enables a unique level of quality control for array-based transformations.

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
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is considered a worldwide infectious zoonotic disease. Mycobacterium bovis causes bTB disease. It is one of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) members. MTBC is a clonal complex of close relatives with approximately 99.95% similarity. M. bovis is a spillover pathogen that can transmit from animals to humans and rarely from humans to animals with contact. Genotyping techniques are important to discriminate and differentiate between MTBC species. Spoligotyping and mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) are widely used but they have some limitations. As an alternative, whole genome sequencing approaches have been utilized due to their high-resolution power. They are employed in typing M. bovis and explain the evolutionary and phylogenetic relationships between isolates. The control of bTB disease has attracted a large amount of attention. Rapid and proper diagnosis is necessary for monitoring the disease as an initial step for its control and treatment. Nanotechnology has a potential impact on the rapid diagnosis and treatment of bTB through the use of nanocarrier and metal nanoparticles (NPs). Special attention has been paid to voltammetric and impedimetric electrochemical strategies as facile, sensitive, and selective methods for the efficient detection of tuberculosis. The efficacy of these sensors is enhanced in the presence of NPs, which act as recognition and/or redox probes. Gold, silver, copper, cobalt, graphene, and magnetic NPs, as well as polypyrrole nanowires and multiwalled carbon nanotubes have been employed for detecting tuberculosis. Overall, NP-based electrochemical sensors represent a promising tool for the diagnosis of bTB.

Abstract
The prevailing form of bacterial infection is within the urinary tract, encompassing a wide array of bacteria that harness the urinary metabolome for their growth. Through their metabolic actions, the chemical composition of the growth medium undergoes modifications as the bacteria metabolize urine compounds, leading to the subsequent release of metabolites. These changes can indirectly indicate the existence and proliferation of bacterial organisms. Here, we investigate the use of an electronic tongue, a powerful analytical instrument based on a combination of non-selective chemical sensors with a partial specificity for data gathering combined with principal component analysis, to distinguish between infected and non-infected artificial urine samples. Three prevalent bacteria found in urinary tract infections were investigated, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecalis. Furthermore, the electronic tongue analysis was supplemented with 1H NMR spectroscopy and flow cytometry. Bacteria-specific changes in compound consumption allowed for a qualitative differentiation between artificial urine medium and bacterial growth.

Updates on developing and applying biosensors for the detection of microorganisms, antimicrobial resistance genes and antibiotics: a scoping review. Front Public Health 2023; 11:1240584. [PMID: 37744478 PMCID: PMC10512422 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1240584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The inappropriate use of antibiotics in clinical and non-clinical settings contributes to the increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms. Contemporary endeavours are focused on exploring novel technological methodologies, striving to create cost-effective and valuable alternatives for detecting microorganisms, antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), and/or antibiotics across diverse matrices. Within this context, there exists an increasingly pressing demand to consolidate insights into potential biosensors and their implications for public health in the battle against antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Methods A scoping review was carried out to map the research conducted on biosensors for the detection of microorganisms, ARGs and/or antibiotics in clinical and environmental samples. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist was used. Articles published from 1999 to November 2022 and indexed in the following databases were included: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, BIOSIS Citation index, Derwent Innovations index, and KCI-Korean Journal. Results The 48 studies included in the scoping review described the development and/or validation of biosensors for the detection of microorganisms, ARGs and/or antibiotics. At its current stage, the detection of microorganisms and/or ARGs has focused primarily on the development and validation of biosensors in clinical and bacterial samples. By contrast, the detection of antibiotics has focused primarily on the development and validation of biosensors in environmental samples. Asides from target and samples, the intrinsic characteristics of biosensors described in the scoping review were heterogenous. Nonetheless, the number of studies assessing the efficacy and validation of the aforementioned biosensor remained limited, and there was also a lack of comparative analyses against conventional molecular techniques. Conclusion Promoting high-quality research is essential to facilitate the integration of biosensors as innovative technologies within the realm of public health challenges, such as antimicrobial resistance AMR. Adopting a One-Health approach, it becomes imperative to delve deeper into these promising and feasible technologies, exploring their potential across diverse sample sets and matrices.

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
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
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) signal transduction is of great interest for ultrasensitive biosensing; however, signal-on PEC assays that do not require target labeling remain elusive. In this work, we developed a signal-on biosensor that uses nucleic acids to modulate PEC currents upon target capture. Target presence removes a biorecognition probe from a DNA duplex carrying a gold nanoparticle, bringing the gold nanoparticle in direct contact to the photoelectrode and increasing the PEC current. This assay was used to develop a universal bacterial detector by targeting peptidoglycan using an aptamer, demonstrating a limit-of-detection of 82 pg/mL (13 pM) in buffer and 239 pg/mL (37 pM) in urine for peptidoglycan and 1913 CFU/mL forEscherichia coliin urine. When challenged with a panel of unknown targets, the sensor identified samples with bacterial contamination versus fungi. The versatility of the assay was further demonstrated by analyzing DNA targets, which yielded a limit-of-detection of 372 fM.

Abstract
Aptamers have been employed as the biorecognition element in electrochemical aptamer-based (E-AB) biosensors, for the detection of a diverse range of analyte molecules, on electrodes with sizescales ranging from a few microns to several millimeters. Simultaneous detection of multiple different analytes requires the selective modification of multiple electrode surfaces with different aptamers. This process is typically achieved by incubating separate macroscale electrodes in a solution with the desired aptamer, which is unsuitable for microelectrode arrays in which the electrodes are closely spaced. In this work, we selectively modified electrode surfaces with thiolated aptamers of different single-stranded DNA sequences, by successive removal and addition of thiol monolayers. This was achieved by electrodesorption of thiol monolayers using controlled potential, to expose unmodified gold electrodes to be modified with a different thiolated aptamer, thus enabling multiple different aptamers to be used on the surfaces of closely spaced microelectrodes. All aptamers were methylene blue terminated, allowing redox currents to be measured and used to monitor aptamer probe packing density on the electrode surface and the selectivity of the sensors. Here, we demonstrate the microscale E-AB sensor multianalyte detection method using aptamers for target analytes, adenosine triphosphate, dopamine, and serotonin, which can ultimately be applied to perform localized simultaneous detection using electrode arrays.

Abstract
Sensitive and rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria is essential for effective source control and prevention of microbial infectious diseases. However, it remains a substantial challenge to rapidly detect bacteria at the single-cell level. Herein, we present an electrochemical sandwich sensor for highly selective and ultrasensitive detection of a single bacterial cell based on dual recognition by the bacteria-imprinted polymer film (BIF) and aptamer. The BIF was used as the capture probe, which was in situ fabricated on the electrode surface within 15 min via electropolymerization. The aptamer and electroactive 6-(Ferrocenyl)hexanethiol cofunctionalized gold nanoparticles (Au@Fc-Apt) were employed as the signal probe. Once the target bacteria were anchored on the BIF-modified electrode, the Au@Fc-Apt was further specifically bound to the bacteria, generating enhanced current signals for ultrasensitive detection of Staphylococcus aureus down to a single cell in phosphate buffer solution. Even in the complex milk samples, the sensor could detect as low as 10 CFU mL-1 of S. aureus without any complicated pretreatment except for 10-fold dilution. Moreover, the current response to the target bacteria was hardly affected by the coexisting multiple interfering bacteria, whose number is 30 times higher than the target, demonstrating the excellent selectivity of the sensor. Compared with most reported sandwich-type electrochemical sensors, this assay is more sensitive and more rapid, requiring less time (1.5 h) for the sensing interface construction. By virtue of its sensitivity, rapidity, selectivity, and cost-effectiveness, the sensor can serve as a universal detection platform for monitoring pathogenic bacteria in fields of food/public safety.

Abstract
The transition of electrochemical sensors from lab-based measurements to real-time analysis requires special attention to different aspects in addition to the classical development of new sensing materials. Several critical challenges need to be addressed including a reproducible fabrication procedure, stability, lifetime, and development of cost-effective sensor electronics. In this paper, we address these aspects exemplarily for a nitrite sensor. An electrochemical sensor has been developed using one-step electrodeposited (Ed) gold nanoparticles (EdAu) for the detection of nitrite in water, which shows a low limit of detection of 0.38 µM and excellent analytical capabilities in groundwater. Experimental investigations with 10 realized sensors show a very high reproducibility enabling mass production. A comprehensive investigation of the sensor drift by calendar and cyclic aging was carried out for 160 cycles to assess the stability of the electrodes. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) shows significant changes with increasing aging inferring the deterioration of the electrode surface. To enable on-site measurements outside the laboratory, a compact and cost-effective wireless potentiostat combining cyclic and square wave voltammetry, and EIS capabilities has been designed and validated. The implemented methodology in this study builds a basis for the development of further on-site distributed electrochemical sensor networks.

Abstract
Recent years have seen continued expansion of the functionality of lab on a chip (LOC) devices. Indeed LOCs now provide scientists and developers with useful and versatile platforms across a myriad of chemical and biological applications. The field still fails, however, to integrate an often important element of bench-top analytics: real-time molecular measurements that can be used to "guide" a chemical response. Here we describe the analytical techniques that could provide LOCs with such real-time molecular monitoring capabilities. It appears to us that, among the approaches that are general (i.e., that are independent of the reactive or optical properties of their targets), sensing strategies relying on binding-induced conformational change of bioreceptors are most likely to succeed in such applications.

Abstract
Escherichia coli is one of the main indicators in the quality control of water, pharmaceuticals, and other samples. Compared with the time-consuming and high prices of the classical methods, with their high risks in the case of insensitive, contamination and offline detections, biosensors have long been a fast and accurate approach for identifying different bacteria. The present study reports the development of a newly electrochemical biosensor using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified by multi-walled carbon nanotubes/AuNPs/E. coli polyclonal antibody/Bovine Serum Albumin in 0.1 M phosphate-buffered saline ( pH 7) in the presence of acetaminophen, for the detection of E. coli in pharmaceuticals and some real samples. Acetaminophen was added as an indicator for the detection of E. coli by changes in conductivity and current. To identify E. coli, square-wave voltammetry (SWV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques were used. According to the obtained results of square-wave voltammetry, a limit of 3.02 CFU/ml E. coli detection in 3 min with desirable sensitivity, repeatability, and reproducibility was found with the designed biosensor. This biosensor could be a powerful tool for the detection of indicator bacteria in the food industry, drug safety, quality control, clinical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring.

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
Electrochemical methodology has probably been the most used sensing platform in the past few years as they provide superior advantages. In particular, screen-printed electrode (SPE)-based sensing applications stand out as they provide extraordinary miniaturized but robust and user-friendly detection system. In this context, we are focusing on the modification of SPE with functional nucleic acid probes and nanostructures to improve the electrochemical detection performance in versatile sensing applications, particularly in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Aptamers are immobilized on the electrode surface to detect non-nucleic acid targets and complementary probes to recognize and capture nucleic acid targets. In a step further, SPE-based biosensors with the modification of self-assembled DNA nanostructures are emphasized as they offer great potential for the interface engineering of the electrode surface and promote the excellent performance of various interface reactions. By equipping with a portable potentiostat and a smartphone monitoring device, the realization of this SPE-based miniaturized diagnostic system for the further requirement of fast and POC detection is revealed. Finally, more novel and excellent works are previewed and future perspectives in this field are mentioned.

Abstract
The discovery of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from an electrochemical (EC)-SERS experiment is known as a historic breakthrough. Five decades have passed and Raman spectroelectrochemistry (SEC) has developed into a common characterization tool that provides information about the electrode-electrolyte interface. Recently, this technique has been successfully explored for analytical purposes. EC was found to highly improve the performances of SERS sensors, providing, among others, controlled adsorption of analytes and increased reproducibility. In this review, we highlight the potential of EC-SERS sensors to be implemented for point-of-need (PON) analyses as miniaturized devices, and their ability to revolutionize fields like quality control, diagnosis or environmental and food safety. Important developments have been achieved in Raman spectroelectrochemistry, which now represents a promising alternative to conventional analytical methods and interests more and more researchers. The studies included in this review open endless possibilities for real-life EC-SERS analytical applications.

Abstract
Many studies have addressed electrochemical biosensors because of their simple synthesis process, adjustability, simplification, manipulation of materials' compositions and features, and wide ranges of detection of different kinds of biomedical analytes. Performant electrochemical biosensors can be achieved by selecting materials that enable faster electron transfer, larger surface areas, very good electrocatalytic activities, and numerous sites for bioconjugation. Several studies have been conducted on the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as electrode modifiers for electrochemical biosensing applications because of their respective acceptable properties and effectiveness. Nonetheless, researchers face challenges in designing and preparing MOFs that exhibit higher stability, sensitivity, and selectivity to detect biomedical analytes. The present review explains the synthesis and description of MOFs, and their relative uses as biosensors in the healthcare sector by dealing with the biosensors for drugs, biomolecules, as well as biomarkers with smaller molecular weight, proteins, and infectious disease.

Abstract
With an exponential rise in antimicrobial resistance and stagnant antibiotic development pipeline, there is, more than ever, a crucial need to optimize current infection therapy approaches. One of the most important stages in this process requires rapid and effective identification of pathogenic bacteria responsible for diseases. Current gold standard techniques of bacterial detection include culture methods, polymerase chain reactions, and immunoassays. However, their use is fraught with downsides with high turnaround time and low accuracy being the most prominent. This imposes great limitations on their eventual application as point-of-care devices. Over time, innovative detection techniques have been proposed and developed to curb these drawbacks. In this review, a systematic summary of a range of biosensing platforms is provided with a strong focus on technologies conferring high detection sensitivity and specificity. A thorough analysis is performed and the benefits and drawbacks of each type of biosensor are highlighted, the factors influencing their potential as point-of-care devices are discussed, and the authors' insights for their translation from proof-of-concept systems into commercial medical devices are provided.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic practices broadly involve either quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)-based nucleic amplification of viral sequences or antigen-based tests such as lateral flow assays (LFAs). Reverse transcriptase-qPCR can detect viral RNA and is the gold standard for sensitivity. However, the technique is time-consuming and requires expensive laboratory infrastructure and trained staff. LFAs are lower in cost and near real time, and because they are antigen-based, they have the potential to provide a more accurate indication of a disease state. However, LFAs are reported to have low real-world sensitivity and in most cases are only qualitative. Here, an antigen-based electrochemical aptamer sensor is presented, which has the potential to address some of these shortfalls. An aptamer, raised to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, was immobilized on a low-cost gold-coated polyester substrate adapted from the blood glucose testing industry. Clinically relevant detection levels for SARS-CoV-2 are achieved in a simple, label-free measurement format using sample incubation times as short as 15 min on nasopharyngeal swab samples. This assay can readily be optimized for mass manufacture and is compatible with a low-cost meter.

Abstract
The detection of biomolecular analytes is of great importance in clinical, environmental, and argo-food areas, among which the electrochemical methodology is attracting much attention. In particular, screen-printed electrode (SPE)-based sensing applications have exhibited potential possibility for on-site detection, especially for fast clinical biomarker detection, since they provide a miniaturized but robust and portable electrode detection system. In this context, we focused on the modification of SPE with functional antibodies to improve the electrochemical detection performance in versatile sensing applications, particularly for COVID-19 detection. These antibodies were immobilized onto the electrode surface via various methodologies, through which the powerful potential from the modification of SPE was revealed. Finally, more novel and excellent works on the biomolecular modification of SPE and the prospects of this technology from its state-of-art status to commercialization are previewed and future perspectives in this field are mentioned.

Abstract
Microbes, such as bacteria, can be described, at one level, as small, self-sustaining chemical factories. Based on the species, strain, and even the environment, bacteria can be useful, neutral or pathogenic to human life, so it is increasingly important that we be able to characterize them at the molecular level with chemical specificity and spatial and temporal resolution in order to understand their behavior. Bacterial metabolism involves a large number of internal and external electron transfer processes, so it is logical that electrochemical techniques have been employed to investigate these bacterial metabolites. In this mini-review, we focus on electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical methods that have been developed and used specifically to chemically characterize bacteria and their behavior. First, we discuss the latest mechanistic insights and current understanding of microbial electron transfer, including both direct and mediated electron transfer. Second, we summarize progress on approaches to spatiotemporal characterization of secreted factors, including both metabolites and signaling molecules, which can be used to discern how natural or external factors can alter metabolic states of bacterial cells and change either their individual or collective behavior. Finally, we address in situ methods of single-cell characterization, which can uncover how heterogeneity in cell behavior is reflected in the behavior and properties of collections of bacteria, e.g. bacterial communities. Recent advances in (spectro)electrochemical characterization of bacteria have yielded important new insights both at the ensemble and the single-entity levels, which are furthering our understanding of bacterial behavior. These insights, in turn, promise to benefit applications ranging from biosensors to the use of bacteria in bacteria-based bioenergy generation and storage.

Abstract
Electrochemical sensors have emerged as important diagnostic tools in recent years, due to their simplicity and ease of use. Compared to instrumental analysis methods that use complicated experimental and data analysis techniques─such as mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), spectrophotometric methods, and chromatography─electrochemical sensors show promise for use in a wide range of real-time and in situ applications such as pharmaceutical testing, environmental monitoring, and medical diagnostics. In order to identify analytes in complex and/or biological samples, materials used for both the electrode materials and the chemically selective layer have been evolving throughout the years for optimizing the analytical performance of electrochemical sensors to increase sensitivity, selectivity and linear range. In this Perspective, attention will be focused on different types of materials that have been used for electrochemical sensing, including new combinations of well-studied materials as well as novel strategies to enhance the performance of sensing devices. The Perspective will also discuss existing challenges in the field and future strategies for addressing those challenges.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic is challenging diagnostic testing capacity worldwide. The mass testing needed to limit the spread of the virus requires new molecular diagnostic tests to dramatically widen access at the point-of-care in resource-limited settings. Isothermal molecular assays have emerged as a promising technology, given the faster turn-around time and minimal equipment compared to gold standard laboratory PCR methods. However, unlike PCR, they do not typically target multiple SARS-CoV-2 genes, risking sensitivity and specificity. Moreover, they often require multiple steps thus adding complexity and delays. Here we develop a multiplexed, 1-2 step, fast (20-30 min) SARS-CoV-2 molecular test using reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification to simultaneously detect two conserved targets - the E and RdRP genes. The agile multi-gene platform offers two complementary detection methods: real-time fluorescence or dipstick. The analytical sensitivity of the fluorescence test was 9.5 (95% CI: 7.0-18) RNA copies per reaction for the E gene and 17 (95% CI: 11-93) RNA copies per reaction for the RdRP gene. The analytical sensitivity for the dipstick method was 130 (95% CI: 82-500) RNA copies per reaction. High specificity was found against common seasonal coronaviruses, SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV model samples. The dipstick readout demonstrated potential for point-of-care testing in decentralised settings, with minimal or equipment-free incubation methods and a user-friendly prototype smartphone application. This rapid, simple, ultrasensitive and multiplexed molecular test offers valuable advantages over gold standard tests and in future could be configurated to detect emerging variants of concern.
