Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), a commensal organism found on the human skin, is commonly associated with nosocomial infections and exhibits virulence mediated by toxins and resistance to antibiotics. The global threat of antibiotic resistance has necessitated antimicrobial stewardship to improve the safe and appropriate use of antimicrobials; hence, there is an urgent demand for the advanced, cost-effective, and rapid detection of specific bacteria. In this regard, we aimed to selectively detect S. aureus using surface molecularly imprinted magnetic nanoparticles templated with a well-known biomarker protein A, specific to S. aureus. Herein, a highly selective surface molecularly imprinted polymeric thin layer was created on ∼250 nm magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) through the immobilization of protein A to aldehyde functionalized MNPs, followed by monomer polymerization and template washing. This study employs the rational selection of monomers based on their computationally predicted binding affinity to protein A at multiple surface residues. The resulting MIPs from rationally selected monomer combinations demonstrated an imprinting factor as high as ∼5. Selectivity studies revealed MIPs with four-fold higher binding capacity (BC) to protein A than other non-target proteins, such as lysozyme and serum albumin. In addition, it showed significant binding to S. aureus, whereas negligible binding to other non-specific Gram-negative, i.e. Escherichia coli (E. coli), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), and Gram-positive, i.e. Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis), bacteria. This MIP was employed for the capture and specific detection of fluorescently labeled S. aureus. Quantitative detection was performed using a conventional plate counting technique in a linear detection range of 101-107 bacterial cells. Remarkably, the MIPs also exhibited approximately 100% cell recovery from milk samples spiked with S. aureus (106 CFU mL-1), underscoring its potential as a robust tool for sensitive and accurate bacterial detection in dairy products. The developed MIP exhibiting high affinity and selective binding to protein A finds its potential applications in the magnetic capture and selective detection of protein A as well as S. aureus infections and contaminations.

Abstract
Ensuring a rapid and accurate identification of harmful bacteria is crucial in various fields including environmental monitoring, food safety, and clinical diagnostics. Conventional detection methods often suffer from limitations such as long analysis time, complexity, and the need for qualified personnel. Therefore, a lot of research effort is devoted to developing technologies with the potential to revolutionize the detection of pathogenic bacteria by offering rapid, sensitive, and user-friendly platforms for point-of-care analysis. In this light, biosensors have gained significant commercial attention in recent years due to their simplicity, portability, and rapid analysis capabilities. The purpose of this review is to identify a trend by analyzing which biosensor technologies have become commercially successful in the field of bacteria detection. Moreover, we highlight the characteristics that a biosensor must possess to finally arrive in the market and therefore in the hands of the end-user, and we present critical examples of the market applications of various technologies. The aim is to investigate the reason why certain technologies have achieved commercial success and extrapolate these trends to the future economic viability of a new subfield in the world of biosensing: the development of biomimetic sensor platforms. Therefore, an overview of recent advances in the field of biomimetic bacteria detection will be presented, after which the challenges that need to be addressed in the coming years to improve market penetration will be critically evaluated. We will zoom into the current shortcomings of biomimetic sensors based on imprinting technology and aptamers and try to come up with a recommendation for further development based on the trends observed from previous commercial success stories in biosensing.

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
Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective patient care and the containment of antimicrobial resistance outbreaks. The intricate challenge of distinguishing bacterial from viral infections, coupled with limited diagnostic tools and overlapping symptoms has driven the utilization of molecular imprinting techniques. This study focuses on developing cost-effective, chemically stable antibody analogs for the interferon-induced protein myxovirus resistance protein A (MxA). MxA is an intracellular, cytoplasmic GTPase having activity against a wide range of viruses and serves as a distinctive biomarker for viral infections. We utilized computational design to guide the polymer assembly, centering on epitope imprinting to target MxA-specific regions crucial for interaction. Molecular docking calculations, alongside a pioneering multi-monomer simultaneous docking (MMSD) protocol, efficiently elucidate cooperativity during pre-polymerization. Monomer binding affinity scores, such as for APTMS, exhibited notable increase, ranging from -3.11 to -13.03 kcal/mol across various MMSD combinations compared to a maximum of -2.78 kcal/mol in single monomer docking, highlighting the capacity of MMSD in elucidating crucial monomer-monomer interactions. This computational approach provides a theoretical alternative to labor-intensive experimental optimization, streamlining the development process for synthetic receptors. Simulations reveal unique interactions enhancing MIP-peptide complementarity, yielding optimized receptors selectively binding to MxA epitopes. The obtained MIPs demonstrated a maximum adsorption capacity of approximately 12 mg/g and captured 1.6 times more epitope and 2.6 times more epitope containing MxA protein than corresponding NIPs. A proof-of-concept study demonstrates MxA protein binding to synthetic receptors, highlighting the potential of MIPs, analogous to antibodies, in overcoming current diagnostic challenges for precise detection of viral infection.

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

Abstract
Photonic biosensors are promising platforms for the rapid detection of pathogens with the potential to replace conventional diagnostics based on microbiological culturing methods. Intricately designed sensing elements with robust architectures can offer highly sensitive detection at minimal development cost enabling rapid adoption in low-resource settings. In this work, an optical detection scheme is developed by structuring guided mode resonance (GMR) on a highly stable, transparent silicon nitride (SiN) substrate and further biofunctionalized to identify a specific bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The resonance condition of the GMR chip is optimized to have relatively high bulk sensitivity with a good quality factor. The biofunctionalization aims at oriented immobilization of specific antibodies to allow maximum bacteria attachment and improved specificity. The sensitivity of the assays is evaluated for clinically relevant concentrations ranging from 102 to 108 CFU/mL. From the calibration curves, the sensitivity of the chip is extracted as 0.134nm/Log10 [concentration], and the detection modality possesses a favorably good limit of detection (LOD) 89 CFU/mL. The use of antibodies as a biorecognition element complemented with a good figure of merit of GMR sensing element allows selective bacteria identification compared to other non-specific pathogenic bacteria that are relevant for testing physiological samples. Our developed GMR biosensor is low-cost, easy to handle, and readily transformable into a portable handheld detection modality for remote usage.

Abstract
The rational design of molecularly imprinted polymers has evolved along with state-of-the-art experimental imprinting strategies taking advantage of sophisticated computational tools. In silico methods enable the screening and simulation of innovative polymerization components and conditions superseding conventional formulations. The combined use of quantum mechanics, molecular mechanics, and molecular dynamics strategies allows for macromolecular modelling to study the systematic translation from the pre- to the post-polymerization stage. However, predictive design and high-performance computing to advance MIP development are neither fully explored nor practiced comprehensively on a routine basis to date. In this review, we focus on different steps along the molecular imprinting process and discuss appropriate computational methods that may assist in optimizing the associated experimental strategies. We discuss the potential, challenges, and limitations of computational approaches including ML/AI and present perspectives that may guide next-generation rational MIP design for accelerating the discovery of innovative molecularly templated materials.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles with green cover sodium alginate and Ag, MnCoFe2O4@Sodium alginate/Ag (MCF@S-ALG/Ag) MNPs were prepared by a simple and clean method from Sargassum Vulgare brown algae. The structure of these nanoparticles was characterized by the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field emission-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of MCF@S-ALG/Ag MNPs was tested for two bacteria of gram-negative (Escherichia coli (E. coli)) bacteria and gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)) bacteria. The MCF@S-ALG/Ag MNPs showed the inhibition zone 16.32 mm for S. aureus and 12.84 mm for E. coli bacteria. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) of MCF@S-ALG/Ag MNPs for both bacteria were found 20 µg/mL and 40 µg/mL, respectively.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous multi-drug-resistant bacterium, capable of causing serious illnesses and infections. This research focuses on the development of a thermal sensor for the indirect detection of P. aeruginosa infection using molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). This was achieved by developing MIPs for the detection of pyocyanin, the main toxin secreted by P. aeruginosa. To this end, phenazine was used as a dummy template, evaluating several polymeric compositions to achieve a selective MIP for pyocyanin recognition. The sensitivity of the synthesized MIPs was investigated by UV-vis analysis, with the best composition having a maximum rebinding capacity of 30 μmol g-1 and an imprinting factor (IF) of 1.59. Subsequently, the MIP particles were immobilized onto planar aluminum chips using an adhesive layer, to perform thermal resistance measurements at clinically relevant concentrations of pyocyanin (1.4-9.8 μM), achieving a limit of detection (LoD) of 0.347 ± 0.027 μM. The selectivity of the sensor was also scrutinized by subjecting the receptor to potential interferents. Furthermore, the rebinding was demonstrated in King's A medium, highlighting the potential of the sensor for the indirect detection of P. aeruginosa in complex fluids. The research culminates in the demonstration of the MIP-based sensor's applicability for clinical diagnosis. To achieve this goal, an experiment was performed in which the sensor was exposed to pyocyanin-spiked saliva samples, achieving a limit of detection of 0.569 ± 0.063 μM and demonstrating that this technology is suitable to detect the presence of the toxin even at the very first stage of its production.

Abstract
Diabetes is a major public health burden whose prevalence has been steadily increasing over the past decades. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is currently the gold standard for diagnostics and monitoring glycemic control in diabetes patients. HbA1c biosensors are often considered to be cost-effective alternatives for smaller testing laboratories or clinics unable to access other reference methods. Many of these sensors deploy nanomaterials as recognition elements, detection labels, and/or transducers for achieving sensitive and selective detection of HbA1c. Nanomaterials have emerged as important sensor components due to their excellent optical and electrical properties, tunable morphologies, and easy integration into multiple sensing platforms. In this review, we discuss the advantages of using nanomaterials to construct HbA1c sensors and various sensing strategies for HbA1c measurements. Key gaps between the current technologies with what is needed moving forward are also summarized.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) continue to gain increasing attention as functional materials due to their unique characteristics such as higher stability, simple preparation, robustness, better binding capacity, and low cost. In particular, MIP-coated inorganic nanoparticles have emerged as a promising platform for various biomedical applications ranging from drug delivery to bioimaging. The integration of MIPs with inorganic nanomaterials such as silica (SiO2), iron oxide (Fe3O4), gold (Au), silver (Ag), and quantum dots (QDs) combines several attributes from both components to yield highly multifunctional materials. These materials with a multicomponent hierarchical structure composed of an inorganic core and an imprinted polymer shell exhibit enhanced properties and new functionalities. This review aims to provide a general overview of key recent advances in the fabrication of MIPs-coated inorganic nanoparticles and highlight their biomedical applications, including drug delivery, biosensor, bioimaging, and bioseparation.

Abstract
In silico methods enable optimizing artificial receptors such that constructive mimics of natural antibodies can be envisaged. The introduction of combinatorial synthesis strategies via multi-monomer combinations has improved the performance of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) significantly. However, it remains experimentally challenging to screen thousands of combinations resulting from a large library of monomers. The present study introduces a molecular mechanics based multi-monomer simultaneous docking approach (MMSD) to computationally screen monomer combinations according to their potential, facilitating selective molecular imprints. Thereby, the diversity of multipoint interactions realizable with a peptide surface is efficiently explored yielding how individual monomer binding capacities constructively or adversely add up when docked together. Additionally, spatially distributed molecular models were mapped for analyzing intermolecular H-bonding and hydrophobic interactions resulting from single monomer docking, as well as bi- and tri-monomer simultaneous docking. A direct impact of complex formation on the binding capacity of the resulting MIPs has been observed. In a first small-scale study, the predictive potential of the MMSD approach was validated via experimentally applied polymer combinations for peptide imprinting via the scoring functions established during the screening process. MMSD clearly enables rational design of MIPs for synthesizing more sensitive and selective artificial receptor materials especially for peptide and protein-epitope templates.

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 291:132673. [PMID: 34736943 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.132673] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2021] [Revised: 10/06/2021] [Accepted: 10/23/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
This study reports a greener, cheaper and convenient approach to synthesize Terminalia arjuna bark extract coated magnetite nanoparticles (TA@MNPs) using the co-precipitation method and efficient removal of methylene blue (MB) and lead ions [Pb(II)] from simulated wastewater. The synthesized nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized by various techniques such as DLS, XRD, FTIR, HRTEM, AGM, and TGA. From TGA analysis, TA@MNPs was found to be stable even after 500 °C. Using the batch method, maximum removal was achieved at pH 9.0 for MB and pH 3.0 for Pb(II) solutions, respectively. Adsorption study showed that TA@MNPs followed pseudo-second-order kinetics by both adsorbates while isotherm modeling towards adsorption of Pb(II) and MB exhibited Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity for Pb(II) on TA@MNPs was 210.5 mg g-1. The thermodynamic study proved the spontaneity of the physisorption process. Regeneration studies were also performed using five different eluents for the two adsorbents. Overall, TA@MNPs effectively removed pollutants from wastewater and thus could be potentially useful in providing clean water in a cheaper way.

Bacitracin and isothiocyanate functionalized silver nanoparticles for synergistic and broad spectrum antibacterial and antibiofilm activity with selective toxicity to bacteria over mammalian cells. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2022; 133:112649. [PMID: 35034824 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2022.112649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2021] [Revised: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 01/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Silver nanoparticles functionalized with bacitracin (BA), a cyclic peptide and isothiocyanate (ITC), a natural plant product, was fabricated. The particle size of AgNP-BA&ITC was optimized using full factorial design. The optimized particles were of 10-15 nm in size as seen under TEM and showed chemical signature of both bacitracin as well as isothiocynate in FTIR spectroscopy. XRD analysis confirmed the crystalline nature of these particles. Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) showed 21 mg/g silver content in AgNP-BA &ITC. These nanoparticles exhibited MIC in the range of 12.5-25 μg/mL and > 3 log10 reduction in cell viability for both Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria. They clearly demonstrated biofilm inhibition (BIC90 = 150-400 μg/mL) as well as were capable of eradicating both young and mature preformed biofilms as observed by live/dead imaging and crystal violet assay. Further cytotoxicity assay suggests high selectivity (IC50/MIC90 value = 15.2-30.4) of these particles. The results in the present investigation provide role of these novel nanoparticles having substantially low silver content with reduced toxicity and good antibacterial and antibiofilm activity for external wound healing applications.
