Aptamers have emerged as prominent ligands in clinical diagnostics because they provide various advantages over antibodies, such as quicker generation time, reduced manufacturing costs, minimal batch-to-batch variability, greater modifiability, and improved thermal stability. In the present study, we isolated and characterized DNA aptamers that can specifically bind to the hemolysin E (HlyE) antigen of Salmonella Typhi for future development of typhoid diagnostic tests. The DNA aptamers against Salmonella Typhi HlyE were isolated using systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX), and their binding affinity and specificity were assessed utilizing enzyme-linked oligonucleotide assay (ELONA).

Background: Melioidosis is difficult to diagnose due to its wide range of clinical symptoms. The culture method is time-consuming and less sensitive, emphasizing the importance of rapid and accurate diagnostic tests for melioidosis. Burkholderia invasion protein D (BipD) of Burkholderia pseudomallei is a potential diagnostic biomarker.
