Abstract
The detrimental impact of foodborne pathogens on human health makes food safety a major concern at all levels of production. Conventional methods to detect foodborne pathogens, such as live culture, high-performance liquid chromatography, and molecular techniques, are relatively tedious, time-consuming, laborious, and expensive, which hinders their use for on-site applications. Recurrent outbreaks of foodborne illness have heightened the demand for rapid and simple technologies for detection of foodborne pathogens. Recently, Lateral flow assays (LFA) have drawn attention because of their ability to detect pathogens rapidly, cheaply, and on-site. Here, we reviewed the latest developments in LFAs to detect various foodborne pathogens in food samples, giving special attention to how reporters and labels have improved LFA performance. We also discussed different approaches to improve LFA sensitivity and specificity. Most importantly, due to the lack of studies on LFAs for the detection of viral foodborne pathogens in food samples, we summarized our recent research on developing LFAs for the detection of viral foodborne pathogens. Finally, we highlighted the main challenges for further development of LFA platforms. In summary, with continuing improvements, LFAs may soon offer excellent performance at point-of-care that is competitive with laboratory techniques while retaining a rapid format.

Abstract
The detection of pathogenic bacteria is essential to prevent and treat infections and to provide food security. Current gold-standard detection techniques, such as culture-based assays and polymerase chain reaction, are time-consuming and require centralized laboratories. Therefore, efforts have focused on developing point-of-care devices that are fast, cheap, portable and do not require specialized training. Paper-based analytical devices meet these criteria and are particularly suitable to deployment in low-resource settings. In this Review, we highlight paper-based analytical devices with substantial point-of-care applicability for bacteria detection and discuss challenges and opportunities for future development.

Abstract
In this study, we prepared a streptavidin magnetic bead based on graphene-coated iron nitride magnetic beads (G@FeN-MB) and tried to use it for the enrichment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The outer shell of our magnetic bead was wrapped with multiple graphene sheets, and there is no report on the application of graphene to the magnetic-bead-coating material. First, the graphene shell of G@FeN-MB was oxidized by a modified Hummer method so as to generate the carboxyl groups required for the coupling of streptavidin (SA) on the surface of the magnetic beads. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the oxidized G@FeN-MB (GO@FeN-MB). Streptavidin was then linked to the surface of the GO@FeN-MB by coupling the amino of the streptavidin with the carboxyl on the magnetic beads by carbodiimide method; thus, the streptavidin magnetic beads (SAMBs) were successfully prepared. To prove the practicality of the SAMBs, biotinylated SARS-CoV-2 S1 antibody was linked with it to respectively capture SARS-CoV-2 Spike-protein-coupled polystyrene beads (S-PS) and pseudovirus with S-protein expressed. Microplate reader and fluorescence microscope results show that the SAMBs can effectively enrich viruses. In conclusion, the preparation of SAMBs with G@FeN-MB is feasible and has potential for application in the field of virus enrichment.

Abstract
Diverse chemicals and some physical phenomena recently introduced in nanotechnology have enabled scientists to develop useful devices in the field of food sciences. Concerning such developments, detecting foodborne pathogenic bacteria is now an important issue. These kinds of bacteria species have demonstrated severe health effects after consuming foods and high mortality related to acute cases. The most leading path of intoxication and infection has been through food matrices. Hence, quick recognition of foodborne bacteria agents at low concentrations has been required in current diagnostics. Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are one of the urgent and prevalently applied quick recognition methods that have been settled for recognizing diverse types of analytes. Thus, the present review has stressed on latest developments in LFAs-based platforms to detect various foodborne pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella, Listeria, Escherichia coli, Brucella, Shigella, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium botulinum, and Vibrio cholera. Proper prominence has been given on exactly how the labels, detection elements, or procedures have affected recent developments in the evaluation of diverse bacteria using LFAs. Additionally, the modifications in assays specificity and sensitivity consistent with applied food processing techniques have been discussed. Finally, a conclusion has been drawn for highlighting the main challenges confronted through this method and offered a view and insight of thoughts for its further development in the future.

Abstract
Infectious diseases are a potential risk for public health and the global economy. Fast and accurate detection of the pathogens that cause these infections is important to avoid the transmission of the diseases. Conventional methods for the detection of these microorganisms are time-consuming, costly, and not applicable for on-site monitoring. Biosensors can provide a fast, reliable, and point of care diagnostic. Nanomaterials, due to their outstanding electrical, chemical, and optical features, have become key players in the area of biosensors. This review will cover different nanomaterials that employed in electrochemical, optical, and instrumental biosensors for infectious disease diagnosis and how these contributed to enhancing the sensitivity and rapidity of the various sensing platforms. Examples of nanomaterial synthesis methods as well as a comprehensive description of their properties are explained. Moreover, when available, comparative data, in the presence and absence of the nanomaterials, have been reported to further highlight how the usage of nanomaterials enhances the performances of the sensor.

Abstract
Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7), one of the most widespread foodborne pathogens, can cause a series of diseases and even lead to death. In this study, a highly sensitive method was developed by combining aptamer-exonuclease III (Exo III)-assisted amplification with lateral flow assay (LFA) based on gold nanoparticles (AuNP). The compound of single-stranded (ss) DNA-anti-E. coli O157:H7 aptamer (ssDNA-aptamer) was formed by hybridization between designed target ssDNA and aptamer. When E. coli O157:H7 was present, target bacteria were bound with the aptamer, and the free target ssDNA was hybridized with the probes of the designed hairpin (HP) structure. Exo III digests the 3' double-stranded blunt end of the complex and releases the enzyme product. Because the remaining sequence of the HP of the designed enzyme product was the same as the target ssDNA sequence, the target ssDNA could be amplified. Finally, the enhanced target ssDNA was combined with AuNP-LFA to achieve visual detection of E. coli O157:H7. The quantitative ability of this platform for E. coli O157:H7 was 7.6 × 101 cfu/mL in pure culture, and the detection limit in milk was 8.35 × 102 cfu/mL. This LFA was highly specific to E. coli O157:H7, and the time for detection of E. coli O157:H7 in milk was 4 h. Hence, this system has important application prospects in the detection of pathogenic bacteria in dairy products.

Abstract
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a common harmful foodborne pathogen that can cause severe diseases at low infectious doses. Traditional lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) for the rapid screening of E. coli O157:H7 in food suffers from low sensitivity due to its dependence on 20- to 40-nm gold nanoparticles (AuNP) with insufficient brightness as labels. To address this issue, we reported for the first time the successful synthesis of gold superparticles (GSP) by encapsulating numerous small AuNP into a polymer nanobead using an evaporation-induced self-assembly method. Results indicated that the resultant GSP exhibited remarkably enhanced absorbance compared with the most widely used 40 nm AuNP in LFIA. In addition, the absorbance of GSP could be easily tuned by varying GSP sizes. Under optimized conditions, we achieved a rapid and sensitive determination of E. coli O157:H7 in milk with a detection limit of 5.95 × 102 cfu/mL when using the GSP with a size of 342 nm as LFIA signal reporters, exhibiting improvement of approximately 32-fold relative to the conventional 40 nm AuNP-LFIA method. We further demonstrated the selectivity, accuracy, reliability, and practicality of the proposed GSP-LFIA strip. In summary, this work offers a new strategy for improving LFIA sensitivity using assembled GSP as markers and demonstrates huge potential in rapidly and sensitively detecting foodborne pathogens.

Functionalized Au MBA @Ag Nanoparticles as an Optical and SERS Dual Probe in a Lateral Flow Strip for the Quantitative Detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7. J Food Sci 2019; 84:2916-2924.

Abstract
A method combining surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with a lateral flow strip (LFS) was developed for the quantitative and sensitive analysis of Escherichia coli O157:H7. AuMBA @Ag nanoparticles were prepared as SERS probes, and 4-methylthiobenzoic acid (MBA) as a Raman reporter was inserted into the interior gap of the Au@Ag core-shell nanoparticles, which replaced the Au nanoparticles that serve as SERS nanotags in traditional LFS. Using this developed SERS-LFS, the presence of the target bacteria could be tested through the appearance of a red band on the test line. Furthermore, quantitative analysis of E. coli O157:H7 was achieved by measuring the specific Raman intensity of MBA on the test line. The sensitivity of this SERS-LFS biosensor is 5 × 104 CFU/mL of E. coli O157:H7, which is 10-fold higher than that of a naked eye-based colorimetric LFS. This quantitative detection of E. coli O157:H7 ( Y = 1993.86 X - 6812.17, R2 = 0.9947) was obtained with a wide linear range (5 × 104 to 5 × 108 ) due to the signal enhancement of the SERS nanotags. In addition, the SERS-LFS could differentiate E. coli O157:H7 from closely related bacterial species or nontarget contaminants, suggesting high specificity of this assay. The applicability of SERS-LFS to the analysis of E. coli O157:H7 in milk, chicken breast, and beef was also validated, indicating that the sensitivity was not disturbed by the food matrix. In summary, the SERS-LFS developed in this study could be a powerful tool for the quantitative and sensitive screening of E. coli O157:H7 in a food matrix. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This study demonstrates that a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based lateral flow strip (LFS) could be used as a rapid and sensitive method for Escherichia coli O157:H7 detection. Furthermore, this SERS-based LFS could achieve quantitative detection of the target, eliminating the defect of the traditional colloidal gold LFS, which is not quantifiable.

Abstract
The lack of sensitivity and poor matrix tolerance are the main bottlenecks of the lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA). Here, a sensitive and matrix-tolerant method that integrated immunomagnetic separation and fluorescent lateral flow immunoassay (IMS-FLFIA) based on fluorescent magnetic nanobeads was developed to detect the clenbuterol (CLE) residue in swine urine. The limit of detection (LOD) of IMS-FLFIA is 4 times lower than that of traditional colloidal gold LFIA. This method, which exhibits similar LOD and linearity range in both phosphate-buffered saline and urine swine, is highly correlated with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for the detection of real swine urine samples. The result indicated that IMS-FLFIA has a universal resistance to the swine urine matrix. The merits of this assay, high sensitivity, matrix tolerance, accuracy, and specificity, ensure a promising future in detection of veterinary drug residues.

Abstract
A method is described to enhance the sensitivity of an immunochromatographic assay for clenbuterol (CLE) by making use of dually-labeled gold nanoparticles (GNPs), background fluorescence blocking, and immunomagnetic separation. The GNPs were labeled with biotinylated antibody and streptavidin, respectively, and dually labeled GNPs were obtained via the biotin-streptavidin interaction to amplify the detection signal. The fluorescent signal was blocked by dually labeled GNPs and decreased as the dually labeled GNPs aggregation increases on nitrocellulose membrane, which derived from fluorescent polyvinylchloride card. However, fluorescence (measured at excitation/emission wavelengths of 518/580 nm) recovers when CLE reacts with dually labeled GNPs. Immunomagnetic separation was first applied for sample pretreatment. This can offset the matrix effect and improves the sensitivity and accuracy of the assay. Under the optimal conditions, the limits of detection of CLE visually were 0.25 μg·L-1. In addition, clenbuterol can be quantified in swine urine with a 0.03 μg·L-1 detection limit. This is 60-fold lower than current immunochromatography. Response is linear in the 0.06-0.59 μg·L-1 concentration range, and the recoveries from spiked swine urine range from 81 to 115%." Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of the strategies for improving sensitivity of immunochromatographic assay. It includes immunomagnetic separations, dually-labeled gold nanoparticles and background fluorescence blocking. The assay was applied to detect clenbuterol (CLE) in swine urine with an excellent performance.

Abstract
As a representative colorimetic biosnesor, paper-based LFSA have emerged as a promising and robust tool that can easily and instansly detect the presence of target biological components in food sample. Recently, LFSAs have gained a considerable attention as an alternative method for rapid diagnosis of foodborne pathogens to the conventional culture-based assays such as plate counting and PCR. One major drawback of the current LFSAs for the detection of pathogenic bacteria is the low sensitivity, limiting its practical applications in POCT. Not like many other protein-based biomarkers that are present in nM or pM range, the number of pathogenic bacteria that cause disease can be as low as few CFU/ml. Here, we review current advances in LFSAs for the detection of pathogenic bacteria in terms of chromatic agents and analyte types. Furthermore, recent approaches for signal enhancement and modifications of the LFSA architecture for multiplex detection of pathogenic bacteria are included in this review, together with the advantages and limitations of each techniques. Finally, the technological challenges and future prospect of LFSA-based POCT for the detection of pathogenic bacteria are discussed.

Abstract
Rapid detection of foodborne pathogens at an early stage is imperative for preventing the outbreak of foodborne diseases, known as serious threats to human health. Conventional bacterial culturing methods for foodborne pathogen detection are time consuming, laborious, and with poor pathogen diagnosis competences. This has prompted researchers to call the current status of detection approaches into question and leverage new technologies for superior pathogen sensing outcomes. Novel strategies mainly rely on incorporating all the steps from sample preparation to detection in miniaturized devices for online monitoring of pathogens with high accuracy and sensitivity in a time-saving and cost effective manner. Lab on chip is a blooming area in diagnosis, which exploits different mechanical and biological techniques to detect very low concentrations of pathogens in food samples. This is achieved through streamlining the sample handling and concentrating procedures, which will subsequently reduce human errors and enhance the accuracy of the sensing methods. Integration of sample preparation techniques into these devices can effectively minimize the impact of complex food matrix on pathogen diagnosis and improve the limit of detections. Integration of pathogen capturing bio-receptors on microfluidic devices is a crucial step, which can facilitate recognition abilities in harsh chemical and physical conditions, offering a great commercial benefit to the food-manufacturing sector. This article reviews recent advances in current state-of-the-art of sample preparation and concentration from food matrices with focus on bacterial capturing methods and sensing technologies, along with their advantages and limitations when integrated into microfluidic devices for online rapid detection of pathogens in foods and food production line.

Abstract
Lateral flow assay (LFA), or the immunochromatographic strip test, is popular to use for rapid and sensitive immunoassays. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs), due to tunable optical characteristics and easy manipulation of size or shape, represent an attractive approach for LFA technology. Since most enterohemorrhagic infections result from water and food contaminations of Escherichia coli O157:H7, selective and rapid detection of this organism in environmental and biological complexes is necessary. In this study, optimized parameters of antibody (Ab)-based LFA for rapid detection of pathogenic E. coli O157:H7 are described. GNPs were used as visualizing agents. The measuring parameters include the Ab concentration on the capture lines, the concentration of gold conjugate, and flow rate. M180 and 36 nm were the ideal membrane and GNP size, respectively, for bacterial detection of LFA. The target, E. coli O157:H7, could be detected with a visual limit of detection of 105 cfu/mL in 3-5 min. Selectivity of the system was very high and the target was recognized by developed strips, regardless of its presence singly or in mixed bacterial samples.

Abstract
Foodborne illnesses are a public health concern in the United States and worldwide. Recent outbreaks of Escherichia coli O157:H7 have brought to light the need for improved ways to detect foodborne pathogens and minimize serious outbreaks. Unfortunately, current methods for the detection of foodborne pathogens are time intensive and complex. In this study, we designed a spot immunoassay that uses a UCON-potassium phosphate salt aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) for the preconcentration of O157:H7. This platform was tested with samples of O157:H7 spiked in phosphate-buffered saline and milk. The ATPS was found to improve the detection limit of the spot test, yielding detection at 106 cfu/mL within 30 min. This is the first known application of ATPSs to spot immunoassays. Moreover, detection was successfully achieved without upstream processing or dilution of the sample prior to testing, thereby further simplifying the detection process. This technology’s ease of use, sensitivity, and short time to result highlight its potential to advance the spot test as a viable diagnostic tool for foodborne pathogens.
