Abstract
Pathogens endanger food safety, agricultural productivity, and human health. Those pathogens are spread through direct/indirect contact, airborne transmission and food/waterborne transmission, and some cause severe health consequences. As the population grows and global connections intensify, the transmission of infectious diseases expands. Traditional detection methods for pathogens still have some shortcomings, such as time-consuming procedures and high operational costs. To fulfil the demands for simple and effective detection, numerous biosensors have been developed. DNAzyme, a unique DNA structure with catalytic activity, is gradually being applied in the field of pathogen detection owing to its ease of preparation and use. In this review, we concentrated on the two main types of DNAzyme, hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzyme (HGD) and RNA-cleaving DNAzyme (RCD), explaining their research progress in pathogen detection. Furthermore, we introduced two additional novel DNAzymes, CLICK 17 DNAzyme and Supernova DNAzyme, which showed promising potential in pathogen detection. Finally, we summarize the strengths and weaknesses of these four DNAzymes and offer feasible recommendations for the development of biosensors.

SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 23:s23094396.

Abstract
The present work developed an electrochemical genosensor for the detection of virulence outer membrane protein A (ompA, tDNA) gene of Cronobacter sakazakii (C. sakazakii) by exploiting the excellent glucose-oxidase-mimicking activity of copper Metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOF) doped with gold nanoparticle (AuNPs). The signal nanotags of signal probes (sDNA) that biofunctionalized AuNPs@Cu-MOF (sDNA-AuNPs@Cu-MOF) were designed using an Au-S bond. The biosensor was prepared by immobilization capture probes (cDNA) onto an electrodeposited AuNPs-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). AuNPs@Cu-MOF was introduced onto the surface of the GCE via a hybridization reaction between cDNA and tDNA, as well as tDNA and sDNA. Due to the enhanced oxidase-mimicking activity of AuNPs@Cu-MOF to glucose, the biosensor gave a linear range of 1.0 × 10-15 to 1.0 × 10-9 mol L-1 to tDNA with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.42 fmol L-1 under optimized conditions using differential pulse voltammetry measurement (DPV). It can be applied in the direct detection of ompA gene segments in total DNA extracts from C. sakazakii with a broad linear range of 5.4-5.4 × 105 CFU mL-1 and a LOD of 0.35 CFU mL-1. The biosensor showed good selectivity, fabricating reproducibility and storage stability, and can be used for the detection of ompA gene segments in real samples with recovery between 87.5% and 107.3%.

Abstract
Using pathogen-infected food that can be unhygienic can result in severe diseases and an increase in mortality rate among humans. This may arise as a serious emergency problem if not appropriately restricted at this point of time. Thus, food science researchers are concerned with precaution, prevention, perception, and immunity to pathogenic bacteria. Expensive, elongated assessment time and the need for skilled personnel are some of the shortcomings of the existing conventional methods. Developing and investigating a rapid, low-cost, handy, miniature, and effective detection technology for pathogens is indispensable. In recent times, there has been a significant scope of interest for microfluidics-based three-electrode potentiostat sensing platforms, which have been extensively used for sustainable food safety exploration because of their progressively high selectivity and sensitivity. Meticulously, scholars have made noteworthy revolutions in signal enrichment tactics, measurable devices, and portable tools, which can be used as an allusion to food safety investigation. Additionally, a device for this purpose must incorporate simplistic working conditions, automation, and miniaturization. In order to meet the critical needs of food safety for on-site detection of pathogens, point-of-care testing (POCT) has to be introduced and integrated with microfluidic technology and electrochemical biosensors. This review critically discusses the recent literature, classification, difficulties, applications, and future directions of microfluidics-based electrochemical sensors for screening and detecting foodborne pathogens.

Abstract
The detection of foodborne pathogenic bacteria currently relies on their ability to grow on chemically defined liquid and solid media, which is the essence of the classical microbiological approach. Such procedures are time-consuming and the quality of the result is affected by the selectivity of the media employed. Several alternative strategies based on the detection of molecular markers have been proposed. These markers may be cell constituents, may reside on the cell envelope or may be specific metabolites. Each marker provides specific advantages and, at the same time, suffers from specific limitations. The food matrix and chemical composition, as well as the accompanying microbiota, may also severely compromise detection. The aim of the present review article is to present and critically discuss all available information regarding the molecular targets that have been employed as markers for the detection of foodborne pathogens. Their strengths and limitations, as well as the proposed alleviation strategies, are presented, with particular emphasis on their applicability in real food systems and the challenges that are yet to be effectively addressed.

Abstract
Living foodborne pathogens pose a serious threat to public and population health. To ensure food safety, it is necessary to complete the detection of viable bacteria in a short time (several hours to 1 day). However, the traditional methods by bacterial culture, as the gold standard, are cumbersome and time-consuming. To break through the resultant research bottleneck, PCR mediated nucleic acid molecular recognition technologies, including RNA-based reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) and DNA-based viability PCR (vPCR) have been developed in recent years. They not only sensitively amplify detection signals and quickly report detection results, but also distinguish viable and dead bacteria. Therefore, this review introduces these PCR-mediated techniques independent of culture for viable and dead foodborne pathogen detection from the nucleic acid molecular recognition principal level and describes their whole-process applications in food quality supervision, which provides a useful reference for the development of detection of foodborne pathogens in the future.

Abstract
Cronobacter sakazakii is a foodborne, emerging opportunistic pathogen that causes severe bacteremia, necrotizing enterocolitis, and sepsis with a mortality rate of up to 80%. In this study, we developed a simple and sensitive fluorescent turn-off aptasensor with rolling circle amplification assay for viable C. sakazakii detection in powdered infant formula. The results showed that the proposed aptasensor has good performance and specificity for detecting viable C. sakazakii in pure culture and powdered infant formula samples within 3 h. Under the optimal reaction conditions, there is a linear relationship between fluorescent intensity at 490 nm and logarithmic concentration of C. sakazakii in the range of 2.7 × 105 to 2.7 × 102 cfu/mL, with a limit of detection of 2.7 × 102 cfu/mL in pure culture. The proposed aptasensor achieved a recovery of 104 to 111% in pure culture, and 96 to 107% in spiked powdered infant formula samples. The proposed aptasensor does not require complicated DNA extraction steps or antibodies, and can be performed at 37°C, making it a convenient and sensitive strategy for C. sakazakii detection.

Abstract
Members of the Cronobacter genus include food-borne pathogens that can cause infections in infants, with a mortality rate as high as 40 to 80%. The high fatality rate of Cronobacter and its isolation from numerous types of food, especially from powdered infant formula, demonstrate the serious nature of this organism. The source tracking of Cronobacter spp. and the analysis of high-frequency species from different sources are helpful for a more targeted control. Furthermore, the persistence during food processing and storage may be attributed to strong resistance of Cronobacter spp. to environment stresses such as heat, pH, and desiccation. There are many factors that support the survival of Cronobacter spp. in harsh environments, such as some genes, regulatory systems, and biofilms. Advanced detection technology is helpful for the strict monitoring of Cronobacter spp. In addition to the traditional heat treatment, many new control techniques have been developed, and the ability to control Cronobacter spp. has been demonstrated. The control of this bacteria is required not only during manufacture, but also through the selection of packaging methods to reduce postprocessing contamination. At the same time, the effect of inactivation methods on product quality and safety must be considered. This review considers the advances in our understanding of environmental stress response in Cronobacter spp. with special emphasis on its implications in food processing.

Abstract
The presence of Cronobacter sakazakii must be controlled in infant powder plants, because it may cause infectious disease in infants, with high mortality. Testing for C. sakazakii in powdered infant formula should be performed before delivery, and it requires rapid and specific detection methods. In this study, we established a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) immunochromatographic test strip for the quantitative determination of C. sakazakii in powdered infant formula. Monoclonal antibodies for C. sakazakii were labeled with p-aminothiophenol-bound colloidal gold nanoparticles. Color change in the test line indicated the presence of C. sakazakii. A highly sensitive and quantitative test method was developed based on the Raman signal produced by the p-aminothiophenol bonding on gold nanoparticles. The SERS immunochromatographic test strip assay required a short analysis time (12 min) and exhibited a linearity range from 102 to 107 cfu/mL. The limit of detection was 201 cfu/mL without preculture. The SERS immunochromatographic test strip assay is a promising tool for the simple and rapid quantitative analysis of C. sakazakii and other pathogenic bacteria.
