Abstract
Foodborne mycotoxins (FBMTs) are toxins produced by food itself or during processing and transportation that pose an enormous threat to public health security. However, traditional instrumental and chemical methods for detecting toxins have shortcomings, such as high operational difficulty, time consumption, and high cost, that limit their large-scale applications. In recent years, aptamer-based biosensors have become a new tool for food safety risk assessment and monitoring due to their high affinity, good specificity, and fast response. In this review, we focus on the progress of single-mode and dual-mode aptasensors in basic research and device applications over recent years. Furthermore, we also point out some problems in the current detection strategies, with the aim of stimulating future toxin detection systems for a transition toward ease of operation and rapid detection.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis occurs in any joints, and identification in its earlier stages helps to treat the disease and increase the recovery rate. The radiography method and imaging techniques are traditionally used to identify osteoarthritis. But these methods are expensive, and with the complicated steps. Researchers are working toward developing a highly sensitive biosensor in identifying the osteoarthritis biomarker. This research was focused on developing a C-terminal telopeptide of type II collagen (CTX-II) colorimetric sensor with gold nanoparticle (AuNP) for diagnosing osteoarthritis. Anti-CTX-II was conjugated with AuNP and then added with CTX-II and sodium chloride for the color change. In the presence of CTX-II, antibody releases from AuNP then binds with CTX-II, and the color of AuNP changed to purple. Without the CTX-II, AuNP remains its red color (dispersed). This easier colorimetric assay detected the CTX-II as low as 2 ng/mL on linear regression [y = 0.0131x - 0.0051; R2 = 0.9205]. Furthermore, control performances with the relevant proteins osteopontin, IL-6, and nonimmune antibody failed to change the color confirming the specific identification of CTX-II.

Abstract
Biotoxins are ranges of toxic substances produced by animals, plants, and microorganisms, which could contaminate foods during their production, processing, transportation, or storage, thus leading to foodborne illness, even food terrorism. Therefore, proposing simple, rapid, and effective detection methods for ensuring food free from biotoxin contamination shows a highly realistic demand. Aptamers are single-stranded oligonucleotides obtained from the systematic evolution of ligands by performing exponential enrichment (SELEX). They can specifically bind to wide ranges of targets with high affinity; thus, they have become important recognizing units in safety monitoring in food control and anti-terrorism. In this paper, we reviewed the technical points and difficulties of typical aptamer screening processes for biotoxins. For promoting the understanding of food control in the food supply chain, the latest progresses in rapid optical detection of biotoxins based on aptamers were summarized. In the end, we outlined some challenges and prospects in this field. We hope this paper could stimulate widespread interest in developing advanced sensing systems for ensuring food safety.

Abstract
The rapid and sensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria is becoming increasingly important for the timely prevention of contamination and the treatment of infections. Biosensors based on nucleic acid aptamers, integrated with optical, electrochemical, and mass-sensitive analytical techniques, have garnered intense interest because of their versatility, cost-efficiency, and ability to exhibit high affinity and specificity in binding bacterial biomarkers, toxins, and whole cells. This review highlights the development of aptamers, their structural characterization, and the chemical modifications enabling optimized recognition properties and enhanced stability in complex biological matrices. Furthermore, recent examples of aptasensors for the detection of bacterial cells, biomarkers, and toxins are discussed. Finally, we explore the barriers to and discuss perspectives on the application of aptamer-based bacterial detection.

Abstract
Norovirus is a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis in humans. This paper presents the development of a novel dual-mode aptasensor for detecting norovirus using colorimetry and electrochemical methods. The initial colorimetric method utilizes gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and sodium chloride to establish a positive correlation between the concentration of norovirus in a solution and the absorbance ratio A650/A520. The naked eye can detect concentrations as low as 0.1 μg/mL, corresponding to a Ct value of 33 (2.2 copies/μL, CT = 34.102-3.2185·lgX), allowing for qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis. For more accurate trace analysis, a gold electrode is modified with a thiol-modified aptamer and closed with 6-Mercapto-1-hexanol. After incubation with norovirus, the virus specifically binds to the aptamer, causing changes in its spatial structure and distance from the electrode surface. These changes can then be detected using electrochemical square wave voltammetry (SWV). Under optimal reaction conditions, the peak current from SWV exhibits a strong linear relationship with the logarithm of norovirus concentrations between 10-9 μg/mL and 10-2 μg/mL. The regression equation Y = 14.76789 + 1.03983·lgX, with an R2 value of 0.987, accurately represents this relationship. The limit of detection was determined to be 1.365 × 10-10 μg/mL. Furthermore, the aptasensor demonstrated high specificity for norovirus in fecal samples, making it a promising tool for detecting norovirus in various sample types.

J Microbiol Methods 2024; 217-218:106858.

Abstract
Access to clean water for irrigation and drinking has long been a global concern. The need for fast, precise, and cost-effective methods to detect harmful bacteria like Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) serotype O157:H7 is high due to the potential for severe infectious diseases. Fortunately, recent research has led to developing and utilizing rapid bacterial detection methods. The creation of an aptamer-based biosensor (aptasensor) for the detection of E. coli O157:H7 using label-free aptamers and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is described in this study. The specific aptamers that can detect target bacteria are adsorbed on the surface of unmodified AuNPs to form the aptasensor. The detection is performed by target bacterium-induced aptasensor aggregation, which is associated with a red-to-purple color change under high-salt circumstances. We devised a quick and easy method for detecting bacteria using an anti-E. coli O157:H7 aptamer without the need for specialized equipment or pretreatment processes like cell lysis. The aptasensor could identify target bacteria with only as few as 250 colony-forming units (CFU)/ml in 15 min or less, and its specificity based on our test was 100%. This method not only provides a fast direct preparation process but also exhibits remarkable proficiency in promptly identifying the intended target with a heightened level of sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, it can serve as an intelligent tool for monitoring water reservoirs and preventing the transmission of infectious diseases associated with EHEC.

Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is responsible for various nosocomial infections, which is known as a clinically crucial opportunistic pathogen. Therefore, rapid detection of this pathogen is critical to prevent the spread of infection and appropriate treatment. Biological detection probes, such as aptamers and synthetic receptors can be used as diagnostic layers to detect bacteria. In this work, an electrochemical aptasensor was developed for the ultrasensitive detection of A. baumannii by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The aptamer was immobilized on the surface of a CSPE modified with the nanocomposite Fe3O4@SiO2@Glyoxal (Gly) for selective and label-free detection of A. baumannii. The charge transfers resistance (Rct) between redox couple [Fe(CN)63-/4-] and the surface of aptasensor in the Nyquist plot of EIS study was used as electroanalytical signal for detection and determination of A. baumannii. The obtained results showed that the constructed aptasensor could specifically detect A. baumannii in the concentration range from 1.0 × 103-1.0 × 108 Colony-forming unit (CFU)/mL and with a detection limit of 150 CFU/mL (S/N = 3). In addition to its sensitivity, the biosensor exhibits high selectivity over some other pathogens. Therefore, a simple, inexpensive, rapid, label-free, selective, and sensitive electrochemical aptasensor was developed to detect A. baumannii.

Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15051493.

Abstract
Highly sensitive staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) assay is of great importance for the prevention of toxic diseases caused by SEB. In this study, we present a gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-linked immunosorbent assay (ALISA) for detecting SEB in a sandwich format using a pair of SEB specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) performed in microplates. First, the detection mAb was labeled with AuNPs of different particle sizes (15, 40 and 60 nm). Then the sandwich immunosorbent assay for SEB detection was performed routinely in a microplate except for using AuNPs-labeled detection mAb. Next, the AuNPs adsorbed on the microplate were dissolved with aqua regia and the content of gold atoms was determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). Finally, a standard curve was drawn of the gold atomic content against the corresponding SEB concentration. The detection time of ALISA was about 2.5 h. AuNPs at 60 nm showed the highest sensitivity with an actual measured limit of detection (LOD) of 0.125 pg/mL and a dynamic range of 0.125-32 pg/mL. AuNPs at 40 nm had an actual measured LOD of 0.5 pg/mL and a dynamic range of 0.5 to 128 pg/mL. AuNPs at 15 nm had an actual measured LOD of 5 pg/mL, with a dynamic range of 5-1280 pg/mL. With detection mAb labeled with AuNPs at 60 nm, ALISA's intra- and interassay coefficient variations (CV) at three concentrations (2, 8, and 20 pg/mL) were all lower than 12% and the average recovery level was ranged from 92.7% to 95.0%, indicating a high precision and accuracy of the ALISA method. Moreover, the ALISA method could be successfully applied to the detection of various food, environmental, and biological samples. Therefore, the successful establishment of the ALISA method for SEB detection might provide a powerful tool for food hygiene supervision, environmental management, and anti-terrorism procedures and this method might achieve detection and high-throughput analysis automatically in the near future, even though GFAAS testing remains costly at present.

Abstract
Here, to give early waring for harmful algal blooms caused by Prorocentrum minimum, we reported a simple and rapid colorimetric assay that is named aptamer-gold nanoparticles (GNPs) based colorimetric assay (AGBCA). The GNPs maintain a dispersed state and have a strong characteristic absorption peak at 520 nm. With the addition of NaCl, the stability of the solution will be destroyed and the dispersed GNPs will aggregate. Therefore, the characteristic absorption peak of the GNPs solution will change from 520 nm to 670 nm. Aptamers can be adsorbed on the surface of GNPs, effectively preventing the aggregation of GNPs. In the presence of P. minimum, aptamers will specifically bind to P. minimum, causing the dissociation of the aptamers from GNPs. Consequently, the GNPs will aggregate in the NaCl solution, corresponding to a new absorption peak at 670 nm. A linear relationship between the absorbance ratio variation (ΔA670/A520) and the P. minimum concentration was observed in the concentration range of 1 × 102 - 1 × 107 cells mL-1, with a low detection limit of 8 cells mL-1. The developed AGBCA is characterized by simplicity, strong specificity, and high sensitivity and is thus promising for the quantitative detection of P. minimum in natural samples.

Abstract
Foodborne pathogens are a major public health concern and have a significant economic impact globally. From harvesting to consumption stages, food is generally contaminated by viruses, parasites, and bacteria, which causes foodborne diseases such as hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), typhoid, acute, gastroenteritis, diarrhea, and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Hence, early detection of foodborne pathogenic microbes is essential to ensure a safe food supply and to prevent foodborne diseases. The identification of foodborne pathogens is associated with conventional (e.g., culture-based, biochemical test-based, immunological-based, and nucleic acid-based methods) and advances (e.g., hybridization-based, array-based, spectroscopy-based, and biosensor-based process) techniques. For industrial food applications, detection methods could meet parameters such as accuracy level, efficiency, quickness, specificity, sensitivity, and non-labor intensive. This review provides an overview of conventional and advanced techniques used to detect foodborne pathogens over the years. Therefore, the scientific community, policymakers, and food and agriculture industries can choose an appropriate method for better results.

Abstract
Oxytocin is a peptide neurophysin hormone made up of nine amino acids and is used in induction of one in four births worldwide (more than 13 percent in the United States). Herein, we have developed an antibody alternative aptamer-based electrochemical assay for real-time and point-of-care detection of oxytocin in non-invasive saliva samples. This assay approach is rapid, highly sensitive, specific, and cost-effective. Our aptamer-based electrochemical assay can detect as little as 1 pg/mL of oxytocin in less than 2 min in commercially available pooled saliva samples. Additionally, we did not observe any false positive or false negative signals. This electrochemical assay has the potential to be utilized as a point-of-care monitor for rapid and real-time oxytocin detection in various biological samples such as saliva, blood, and hair extracts.

Abstract
Single stranded DNA (ssDNA)/RNA aptamers, are screened through the labor intensive, iterative Systematic Evolution of Ligand by Exponential Enrichment process (SELEX) method. Complete sequence of screened aptamers never interacts with target or participates in final structure. Hence, in silico tools can be used to redesign a short length aptamer from previously reported aptamers which can have high affinity and specificity to the target. This approach is fast, cost effective, and less laborious than in vitro SELEX towards finding an aptamer sequence with better affinity with the target. Here, Staphylococcal enterotoxin type A (SEA) was used as target. A total of nine aptamers reported for different Staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) enterotoxins were used as a starting pool. The aptamers were variously truncations and thoroughly analyzed through in silico methods. Three truncated aptamers namely AptSEA1.4, AptSEA2.4 and AptSEA8.4 were found to show higher affinity with target SEA. The computational data was also validated with DOT BLOT assay complemented with image analysis. These results also confirmed that the % specific binding and the dissociation constant (Kd) of truncated aptamers AptSEA1.4, AptSEA2.4 and AptSEA8.4 was better than their original counterparts. The truncated aptamers showed great promise to be used as a capture reagent in developing a sensitive assay for detection of SEA.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
This paper reports a portable fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) aptasensor for ampicillin (Amp) detection using upconversion particles (UCNPs) as energy donors and Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) as energy acceptors. The optimal parameters of the detection system were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, it had a good linear relationship between the fluorescence intensities and Amp concentrations, a high coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9939, a wide detection range of 10-100 ng/mL, and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 3.9 ng/mL; meanwhile, the aptasensor had high selectivity for Amp against the interference of other antibiotics, and had good recovery and repeatability. Also, its detection performance had been successfully validated by milk samples. Therefore, the developed aptasensor based on FRET between UCNPs and AuNPs has a good prospect for Amp on-site detection in milk with a portable upconversion detection instrument.

Abstract
The new coronavirus disease, COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, continues to affect the world and after more than two years of the pandemic, approximately half a billion people are reported to have been infected. Due to its high contagiousness, our life has changed dramatically, with consequences that remain to be seen. To prevent the transmission of the virus, it is crucial to diagnose COVID-19 accurately, such that the infected cases can be rapidly identified and managed. Currently, the gold standard of testing is polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which provides the highest accuracy. However, the reliance on centralized rapid testing modalities throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has made access to timely diagnosis inconsistent and inefficient. Recent advancements in photonic biosensors with respect to cost-effectiveness, analytical performance, and portability have shown the potential for such platforms to enable the delivery of preventative and diagnostic care beyond clinics and into point-of-need (PON) settings. Herein, we review photonic technologies that have become commercially relevant throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as emerging research in the field of photonic biosensors, shedding light on prospective technologies for responding to future health outbreaks. Therefore, in this article, we provide a review of recent progress and challenges of photonic biosensors that are developed for the testing of COVID-19, consisting of their working fundamentals and implementation for COVID-19 testing in practice with emphasis on the challenges that are faced in different development stages towards commercialization. In addition, we also present the characteristics of a biosensor both from technical and clinical perspectives. We present an estimate of the impact of testing on disease burden (in terms of Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs), and Quality-Adjusted Life Days (QALDs)) and how improvements in cost can lower the economic impact and lead to reduced or averted DALYs. While COVID19 is the main focus of these technologies, similar concepts and approaches can be used and developed for future outbreaks of other infectious diseases.

Geleta GS. A colorimetric aptasensor based on gold nanoparticles for detection of microbial toxins: an alternative approach to conventional methods. Anal Bioanal Chem 2022; 414:7103-7122. [PMID: 35902394 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-022-04227-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2022] [Revised: 07/06/2022] [Accepted: 07/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
Frequent contamination of foods with microbial toxins produced by microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and algae represents an increasing public health problem that requires the development of quick and easy tools to detect them at trace levels. Recently, it has been found that colorimetric detection methods may replace traditional methods in the field because of their ease of use, quick response, ease of manufacture, low cost, and naked-eye visibility. Therefore, it is suitable for fieldwork, especially for work in remote areas of the world. However, the development of colorimetric detection methods with low detection limits is a challenge that limits their wide applicability in the detection of food contaminants. To address these challenges, nanomaterial-based transduction systems are used to construct colorimetric biosensors. For example, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) provide an excellent platform for the development of colorimetric biosensors because they offer the advantages of easy synthesis, biocompatibility, advanced surface functionality, and adjustable physicochemical properties. The selectivity of the colorimetric biosensor can be achieved by the combination of aptamers and gold nanoparticles, which provides an unprecedented opportunity to detect microbial toxins. Compared to antibodies, aptamers have significant advantages in the analysis of microbial toxins due to their smaller size, higher binding affinity, reproducible chemical synthesis and modification, stability, and specificity. Two colorimetric mechanisms for the detection of microbial toxins based on AuNPs have been described. First, sensors that use the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomenon of gold nanoparticles can exhibit very strong colors in the visible range because of changes caused by aggregation or disaggregation. Second, the detection mechanism of AuNPs is based on their enzyme mimetic properties and it is possible to construct a colorimetric biosensor based on the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine/Hydrogen peroxide, TMB/H2O2 reaction to detect microbial toxins. Therefore, this review summarizes the recent applications of AuNP-based colorimetric aptasensors for detecting microbial toxins, including bacterial toxins, fungal toxins, and algal toxins focusing on selectivity, sensitivity, and practicality. Finally, the most important current challenges in this field and future research opportunities are discussed.

Abstract
Small molecule contaminants pose a significant threat to the environment and human health. While regulations are in place for allowed limits in many countries, detection and remediation of contaminants in more resource-limited settings and everyday environmental sources remains a challenge. Functional nucleic acids, including aptamers and DNA enzymes, have emerged as powerful options for addressing this challenge due to their ability to non-covalently interact with small molecule targets. The goal of this perspective is to outline recent efforts toward the selection of aptamers for small molecules and describe their subsequent implementation for environmental applications. Finally, we provide an outlook that addresses barriers that hinder these technologies from being widely adopted in field friendly settings and propose a path forward toward addressing these challenges.

Abstract
Cancer is undoubtedly one of the major human challenges worldwide. A number of pathogenic bacteria are deemed to be potentially associated with the disease. Accordingly, accurate and specific identification of cancer-associated bacteria can play an important role in cancer control and prevention. A variety of conventional methods such as culture, serology, and molecular-based methods as well as PCR and real-time PCR have been adopted to identify bacteria. However, supply costs, machinery fees, training expenses, consuming time, and the need for advanced equipment are the main problems with the old methods. As a result, advanced and modern techniques are being developed to overcome the disadvantages of conventional methods. Biosensor technology is one of the innovative methods that has been the focus of researchers due to its numerous advantages. The main purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the latest developed biosensors for recognizing the paramount cancer-associated bacteria.

Abstract
A new colorimetric biosensor for specific detection of azlocillin was developed by using DNA aptamer as recognition element and unmodified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as colorimetric indicator. In the absence of azlocillin, the AuNPs were protected by the aptamer and stabilized at high NaCl concentrations, displaying a red solution. In the presence of azlocillin, the aptamer reacts specifically with azlocillin, resulting in the aggregation of AuNPs and an apparent red to blue color change. The characteristic change can be easily observed by the naked eye and quantitatively detected by an ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrometer. Under the optimal conditions, the absorbance variation at 522 nm (ΔA522) of AuNPs changed proportionally with increasing concentration of azlocillin, which exhibited a linear relationship in the concentration range of 50 nM to 500 nM, with a detection limit of 11.6 nM. Furthermore, the aptasensor was successfully used to detect azlocillin in milk and tap water samples, with recoveries ranging from 97.64% to 102.21% and a relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 3.81%.

Abstract
By monitoring opioid metabolites, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) could be an excellent tool for real-time information on the consumption of illicit drugs. A key limitation of WBE is the reliance on costly laboratory-based techniques that require substantial infrastructure and trained personnel, resulting in long turnaround times. Here, we present an aptamer-based graphene field effect transistor (AptG-FET) platform for simultaneous detection of three different opioid metabolites. This platform provides a reliable, rapid, and inexpensive method for quantitative analysis of opioid metabolites in wastewater. The platform delivers a limit of detection 2-3 orders of magnitude lower than previous reports, but in line with the concentration range (pg/mL to ng/mL) of these opioid metabolites present in real samples. To enable multianalyte detection, we developed a facile, reproducible, and high-yield fabrication process producing 20 G-FETs with integrated side gate platinum (Pt) electrodes on a single chip. Our devices achieved the selective multianalyte detection of three different metabolites: noroxycodone (NX), 2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine (EDDP), and norfentanyl (NF) in wastewater diluted 20× in buffer.

Abstract
Early detection is one of the ways to deal with DNA virus widespread prevalence, and it is necessary to know new diagnostic methods and techniques. Colorimetric assays are one of the most advantageous methods in detecting viruses. These methods are based on color change, which can be seen either with the naked eye or with special devices. The aim of this study is to introduce and evaluate effective colorimetric methods based on amplification, nanoparticle, CRISPR/Cas, and Lateral flow in the diagnosis of DNA viruses and to discuss the effectiveness of each of the updated methods. Compared to the other methods, colorimetric assays are preferred for faster detection, high efficiency, cheaper cost, and high sensitivity and specificity. It is expected that the spread of these viruses can be prevented by identifying and developing new methods.

Abstract
Acephate (Ac) is an organophosphate (OP) compound, which is able to inhibit the activity of acetylcholinesterase. Thus, the aim of this study was to optimize the detection of Ac using a thiolated acephate binding aptamer-citrate capped gold nanoparticle (TABA-Cit-AuNP) sensor that also incorporated an image processing technique. The effects of independent variables, such as the incubation period of TABA-Cit-AuNPs (3-24 h) for binding TABA to Cit-AuNPs, the concentration of phosphate buffer saline (PBS) (0.001-0.01 M), the concentration of thiolated acephate binding aptamer (TABA) (50-200 nM), and the concentration of magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) (1-300 mM) were investigated. A quadratic model was developed using a central composite design (CCD) from response surface methodology (RSM) to predict the sensing response to Ac. The optimum conditions such as the concentration of PBS (0.01 M), the concentration of TABA (200 nM), the incubation period of TABA-Cit-AuNPs (3 h), and the concentration of MgSO4 (1 mM) were used to produce a TABA-Cit-AuNPs sensor for the detection of Ac. Under optimal conditions, this sensor showed a detection ranging from 0.01 to 2.73 μM and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.06 μM. Real sample analysis demonstrated this aptasensor as a good analytical method to detect Ac.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria have become a huge threat to social health and economy for their frighteningly infectious and lethal capacity. It is quite important to make a diagnosis in advance to prevent infection or allow a rapid treatment after infection. Noble metal nanoparticles, due to their unique physicochemical properties, especially optical properties, have drawn a great attention during the past decades and have been widely applied into all kinds of fields related to human health. By utilizing these noble metal nanoparticles, optical diagnosis platforms towards pathogenic bacteria have emerged continually, providing highly sensitive, selective, and particularly facile detection tools for clinic or point-of-care diagnosis. This review summarizes the recent development in this field. It begins with a brief introduction of pathogenic bacteria and noble metal nanoparticles. And then, optical detection methods are systematically discussed in three distinct aspects. In addition to these proof-of-concept methods, corresponding algorithms and point-of-care detection devices are also described. Finally, the review ends up with subjective views on present limitations and some appropriate advice for future research directions.

Abstract
Rapid and accurate diagnosis of various biomarkers associated with medical conditions including early detection of viruses and bacteria with highly sensitive biosensors is currently a research priority. Aptamer is a chemically derived recognition molecule capable of detecting and binding small molecules with high specificity and its fast preparation time, cost effectiveness, ease of modification, stability at high temperature and pH are some of the advantages it has over traditional detection methods such as High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Higher sensitivity and selectivity can further be achieved via coupling of aptamers with nanomaterials and these conjugates called "aptasensors" are receiving greater attention in early diagnosis and therapy. This review will highlight the selection protocol of aptamers based on Traditional Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment (SELEX) and the various types of modified SELEX. We further identify both the advantages and drawbacks associated with the modified version of SELEX. Furthermore, we describe the current advances in aptasensor development and the quality of signal types, which are dependent on surface area and other specific properties of the selected nanomaterials, are also reviewed.

Abstract
As a significant constituent in biosphere, bacteria have a great influence on human activity. The detection of pathogen bacteria is closely related to the human health. However, the traditional methods for detection of pathogenic bacteria are time-consuming and difficult for quantification, although they are practical and reliable. Therefore, novel strategies for rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective detection are in great demand. Aptamer is a kind of oligonucleotide that selected by repeated screening in vitro or systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) technology. Over the past years, owing to high affinity and specificity of aptamers, a variety of aptamer-based biosensors have been designed and applied for pathogen detection. In this review, we have discussed the recent advances on the applications of aptamer-based biosensors in detection of pathogenic bacteria. In addition, we also point out some problems in current methods and look forward to the further development of aptamer-based biosensors for pathogen detection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, the pork industry of Thailand faced an epidemic of highly virulent strains of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), which spread throughout Southeast Asia, including the Lao People's Democratic Republic and Cambodia. Hence, the rapid and on-site screening of infected pigs on a farm is essential. OBJECTIVES To develop the new aptamer as a biosensor for detection PRRSV which are rapid and on-site screening of infected pig. METHODS New aptamers against PRSSV were identified using the combined techniques of capillary electrophoresis, colorimetric assay by gold nanoparticles, and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). RESULTS Thirty-six candidate aptamers of the PRRSV were identified from the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) by capillary electrophoresis. Only 8 out of 36 aptamers could bind to the PRSSV, as shown in a colorimetric assay. Of the 8 aptamers tested, only the 1F aptamer could bind specifically to the PRSSV when presented with the classical swine fever virus and a pseudo rabies virus. The QCM was used to confirm the specificity and sensitivity of the 1F aptamer with a detection limit of 1.87 × 1010 particles. CONCLUSIONS SELEX screening of the aptamer equipped with capillary electrophoresis potentially revealed promising candidates for detecting the PRRSV. The 1F aptamer exhibited the highest specificity and selectivity against the PRRSV. These findings suggest that 1F is a promising aptamer for further developing a novel PRRSV rapid detection kit.

Abstract
The frequent occurrence of food safety incidents has given rise to unprecedented concern about food contamination issues for both consumers and the industry. Various contaminations in food pose serious threats to food safety and human health. Many detection methods were studied to address the challenge. Recently, biosensors relying on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-functionalized nanoparticles have been developed as an efficient and effective detection method. In the current review, the strategies for DNA assembly metal and metal oxide nanoparticles are elaborated, recent applications of the sensors based on DNA-functionalized nanoparticles in food contaminant detection are discussed. Pathogenic bacteria, heavy metal ions, mycotoxins, antibiotics, and pesticides are covered as food contaminants. Additionally, limitations and future trends of functionalized nanoparticles-based technology are also presented. The current review indicates that DNA-functionalized metal and metal oxide nanoparticles are a novel nanomaterial with unique biological and physical properties for developing electrochemical, fluorescent, colourimetric and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensors, etc. Compared with conventional detection techniques, DNA-functionalized metal and metal oxide nanoparticles have considerable advantages with high accuracy, high specificity, micro-intelligence, and low cost. Nevertheless, the stability of these sensors and the limitations of real-time detection are still under discussion. Therefore, more tolerant, portable, and rapid DNA sensors should be developed to better the real-time monitoring of harmful contaminants.

Abstract
Development of sensitive and selective analytical method for accurate diagnosis of Acinetobacter baumannii (Ab) bacteria in biological samples is a challenge. Herein, we developed an ingenious ratiometric fluorescent aptasensor for sensitive and selective detection of (Ab) bacteria based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between ortho-phenylenediamines carbon dot (o-CD), nitrogen-doped carbon nanodots (NCND) as donor's species and graphene oxide (GO) as acceptor. NCND that assembled onto the edge of graphene oxide (GO) exhibited quenched photoluminescence emission, and with the absorption of the modified o-CD with aptamer (o-CD-ssDNA) onto the graphene oxide surface the fluorescence of o-CD was efficiently quenched. The aptamer (ssDNA) as a biorecognition element is bound with A. baumannii specifically which releases the o-CD-ssDNA from GO and the recovery of the fluorescence signal of o-CD, while the fluorescence intensity of NCND only slightly altered and acted as the reference signal in ratiometric fluorescence assay. The fluorescence intensity ratio (I550 nm/I440nm) varied from 2.0 to 10.0 with the concentration of bacteria changing from 2.0 × 103 to 4.5 × 107 cfu/mL and the low detection limit of 3.0 × 102 cfu/mL (S/N = 3). The feasibility of the developed aptasensor for selective detection of A. baumannii in urine sample with satisfactory results was also demonstrated.

Abstract
Aptamers have gained an increasing role as the molecular recognition element (MRE) in diagnostic assay development, since their first conception thirty years ago. The process to screen for nucleic acid-based binding elements (aptamers) was first described in 1990 by the Gold Laboratory. In the last three decades, many aptamers have been identified for a wide array of targets. In particular, the number of reports on investigating single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) aptamer applications in biosensing and diagnostic platforms have increased significantly in recent years. This review article summarizes the recent (2015 to 2020) progress of ssDNA aptamer research on bacteria, proteins, and lipids of bacterial origins that have implications for human infections. The basic process of aptamer selection, the principles of aptamer-based biosensors, and future perspectives will also be discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Access to safe drinking and irrigation water has always been one of the major human concerns worldwide. Thus, rapid, sensitive, and inexpensive approaches for pathogenic bacteria detection, such as Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EHEC) that can induce important infectious diseases, are highly on demand. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, a sensitive aptamer-based AuNPs bioassay was developed that demonstrated its potential to detect EHEC. In the presence of the target bacterium, the specific adsorbed aptamer, leaves AuNPs surface and interacts with EHEC. The bare nanoparticles aggregate in the presence of NaCl and the color shifts from red to purple and blue depending on the bacterial concentration. RESULTS The proposed aptasensor exhibited a good linear response over a wide concentration range of 876 to 107 CFU/ml and was closely correlated with the line equation of "y=0.0094x+0.0006" (R2= 0.9861). It also showed a low detection limit (LOD) of 263 CFU/ml (Signal/Noise=3). No response was recorded in the presence of other tested bacterial strains including Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella typhi, indicating the high selectivity of the aptasensor. CONCLUSION This biosensor may be used as a smart device to screen water reservoirs and prevents the outbreak of EHEC-related life-threatening contagious diseases.

Abstract
This study describes the colorimetric detection of aflatoxin M1 (Afl M1) in milk samples using a microfluidic paper-based analytical device (µPAD). Fabrication of µPADs was done using a simple and quick approach. Each μPAD contained a detection zone and a sample zone interconnected by microchannels. The colorimetric assay was developed using unmodified AuNPs as a probe and 21-mer aptamer as a recognition molecule. The free aptamers were adsorbed onto the surface of AuNPs in absence of Afl M1, even at high salt concentrations. The salt induced aggregation of specific aptamers occurred in presence of Afl M1. Under optimum conditions, the analytical linear range was found to be 1 µM to 1 pM with limit of detection 3 pM and 10 nM in standard buffer and spiked milk samples respectively. The proposed aptamer based colorimetric assay was repeatable, quick, selective, and can be used for on-site detection of other toxins in milk and meat samples.

Abstract
The chances of curing and reducing the adverse effect of cancer partly lie in early detection. Colorimetric sensor-based technique show promising results since the target is detected with high sensitivity but without the use of advanced/costly techniques through a simple visual color change. In most cases, gold nanoparticles (Au Nps) functionalized with biomolecules complementary to target analyte are used for colorimetric detection. The interaction of functionalized Au Nps with target analytes induce aggregation or dispersion where the color of the solution changes from red to blue or blue to red respectively, which can be visualized by the naked eyes. Such a facile technique has a high commercial viability and therefore, understanding its concept is essential. Here, some of the reported studies are discussed technically for better understanding about the invitro colorimetric detection of cancer.

Abstract
In this study, we successfully developed a simple and rapid method for simultaneous detection of Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli using gold nanoparticles and the aptamer aptasensor. We screened 25 specific DNA aptamer candidates against these pathogens using whole-cell Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment. Among them, Ap6 was selected due to its low energy minimization values of -12.25 and -27.67 kcal/mol derived from MFold and RNAFold analysis, respectively. The assay presented in this study allowed the visual colorimetric detection of labeled colloidal gold nanoparticles as well as determination of UV absorbance at 625 and 525 nm under optimized conditions. The detection limit of this aptasensor was as less as 105 CFU/ml. A random investigation of 50 meat samples, including ham and chicken sausages, collected from the local market revealed 96% accuracy, 96% specificity, and 100% sensitivity of the assay. The colorimetric aptasensor can accomplish one-step detection without pre-culture, DNA extraction, and amplification. Hence, it is an easy, rapid, specific, and qualitative assay that can be used as a point-of-care testing to directly detect multiplex foodborne pathogens.

Abstract
Acute leukemia is a malignant clonal disease of hematopoietic stem cells with a high prevalence and mortality rate. However, there are no efficient tools to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of leukemia. Therefore, development of new methods for the early diagnosis and prevention of leukemia, especially non-invasive diagnosis at the cellular level, is imperative. Here, a label-free signal-on fluorescence aptasensor based on terbium(iii)-aptamer (Tb3+-apt) was applied for the detection of leukemia. The aptamer sensitizes the fluorescence of Tb3+ and forms the strong fluorescent Tb3+-apt probe. The target cells, the T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line (CCRF-CEM) combined with the Tb3+-apt probe to form the Tb3+-apt-CEM complex, were removed by centrifugation, and the supernatant containing a small amount of the Tb3+-apt probe was detected using a fluorescence spectrophotometer. The logarithm of cell concentration showed a good linear relationship (R2 = 0.9881) with the fluorescence signal. The linear range for CCRF-CEM detection was 5-5 × 106 cells per ml, while the detection limit was 5 cells per ml of the binding buffer. Clinical samples were collected from 100 cases, and the specificity and positive rates detected by this method were up to 94% and 90%, respectively. Therefore, a single-stranded DNA-sensitized terbium(iii) luminescence method diagnostic was developed which is rapid, sensitive, and economical and can be used for diagnosis of various types of leukemia at the early stage.

Abstract
A rapid and ultrasensitive method is described for the detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). It is based on the formation of a dendritic DNA superstructure by integrating (a) target-induced triggering of DNA release with (b) signal amplification by a hybridization chain reaction. Partially complementary pairing of aptamer and trigger DNA forms a duplex structure. The capture DNA is then placed on the surface of a gold electrode through gold-thiol chemistry. In the presence of SEB, the aptamer-target conjugate is compelled to form. This causes the release of trigger DNA owing to a strong competition with SEB. The trigger DNA is subsequently hybridized with the partial complementary sequences of the capture DNA to trigger HCR with three auxiliary DNA sequances (referred to as H1, H2, H3). Finally, the dendritic DNA superstructure is bound to hexaammineruthenium(III) cation by electrostatic adsorption and assembled onto the modified gold electrode. This produces an amplified electrochemical signal that is measured by chronocoulometry. Under optimal conditions, the charge difference increases linearly with the logarithm of the SEB concentrations in the range from 5 pg·mL-1 to 100 ng·mL-1 with a detection limit as low as 3 pg·mL-1 (at S/N = 3). Graphical abstract An electrochemical switching strategy is presented for the sensitive detection of Staphylococcus enterotoxin B based on target-triggered assembly of dendritic nucleic acid nanostructures.
