Lateral Flow Immunoassay for Visible Detection of Human Brucellosis Based on Blue Silica Nanoparticles.

Brucellosis is a highly contagious zoonosis chronic infectious disease with a strong latent capability to endanger human health and economic development direct or indirect ways. However, the existing methods for brucellosis diagnosis are time-consuming and expensive as they require a tedious experimental procedure and a sophisticated experimental device and performance. To overcome these defects, it is truly necessary to establish a real-time, on-site, and rapid detection method for human brucellosis.

A detection method of Escherichia coli O157:H7 based on immunomagnetic separation and aptamers-gold nanoparticle probe quenching Rhodamine B's fluorescence: Escherichia coli O157:H7 detection method based on IMS and Apt-AuNPs probe quenching Rho B' s fluorescence.

This research aimed to detect O157:H7 in milk based on immunomagnetic probe separation technology and quenching effect of gold nanoparticles to Rhodamine B. Streptavidin-modified magnetic beads (MBs) were combined with biotin-modified antibodies to capture O157:H7 specifically. Gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) was incubated with sulfhydryl-modified aptamers (SH-Aptamers) to obtain the Aptamers-AuNPs probe.

Fluorescence signal amplification assay for the detection of B. melitensis 16M, based on peptide-mediated magnetic separation technology and a AuNP-mediated bio-barcode assembled by quantum dot technology.

Members of the Brucella spp. are facultative intracellular bacteria that can cause global brucellosis, a zoonotic disease. Herein, a novel fluorescence signal amplification (FSA) method for the rapid detection of B.
