AI Article Synopsis
- Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) labeled lateral-flow test strips (LFTS) are commonly used in biomedical, food, and environmental analyses, but traditional spherical AuNPs have low detection sensitivity, limiting their use.
- A study introduced a new hierarchical flowerlike AuNP probe, specifically the tipped flowerlike type, which showed significantly better detection of E. coli O157:H7, achieving good sensitivity at low concentrations (as low as 10^3 CFU/mL).
- The tipped flowerlike AuNPs probe demonstrates strong repeatability and can quantitatively detect E. coli O157:H7 over a wide concentration range, suggesting its potential for broader application across various analytical fields.
Article Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) labeled lateral-flow test strip immunoassay (LFTS) has been widely used in biomedical, feed/food, and environmental analysis fields. Conventional ILFS assay usually uses spherical AuNPs as labeled probes and shows low detection sensitivity, which further limits its widespread practical application. Unlike spherical AuNP used as labeled probe in conventional ILFS, in our present study, a hierarchical flowerlike AuNP specific probe was designed for LFTS and further used to detect Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7). Three types of hierarchical flowerlike AuNPs, such as tipped flowerlike, popcornlike, and large-sized flowerlike AuNPs were synthesized in a one-step method. Compared with other two kinds of Au particles, tipped flowerlike AuNPs probes for LFTS particularly exhibited highly sensitive detection of E. coli O157:H7. The remarkable improvement of detection sensitivity of tipped flowerlike AuNPs probes can be achieved even as low as 10(3) colony-forming units (CFU)/mL by taking advantages of its appropriate size and hierarchical structures, which is superior over the detection performance of conventional LFTS. Using this novel tipped flower AuNPs probes, quantitative detection of E. coli O157:H7 can be obtained partially in a wide concentration range with good repeatability. This hierarchical tipped flower-shaped AuNPs probe for LFTS is promising for the practical applications in widespread analysis fields.

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated how a coating made from nanochitosan and whey protein isolate, combined with summer savory essential oil and oxygen absorber packaging, affects the growth of specific bacteria on rainbow trout fillets stored in the fridge.
- Results showed that while Listeria monocytogenes initially decreased in all treatment groups, it eventually increased, indicating limited effectiveness of the treatments against this bacterium.
- In contrast, the combined treatment with the coating, essential oil, and oxygen absorber was most effective in slowing the growth of E. coli and reducing Pseudomonas aeruginosa levels compared to other methods.

To evaluate the typing and clinical application effect based on clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs), serotype, and Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST). The spacers, serotype and sequence type (ST) were obtained with CRISPRsFinder, SeroTypeFinder and MLST. PCR was used to amplify the CRISPRs, and the spacers were used to predict serotype and ST, then comparing with the serotype and ST.

Rapid measurement of waterborne bacterial viability is crucial for ensuring the safety of public health. Herein, we proposed a colorimetric assay for rapid measurement of waterborne bacterial viability based on a difunctional gold nanoprobe (dGNP). This versatile dGNP is composed of bacteria recognizing parts and signal indicating parts, and can generate color signals while recognizing bacterial suspensions of different viabilities.

Article Synopsis
- Antibiotic resistance is a major global health issue, prompting researchers to seek alternative treatment methods.
- Molasses shows promising antimicrobial properties that may help combat resistant bacteria by disrupting bacterial cell membranes and proteins.
- The study found that although molasses did not work synergistically with phages, it increased the size of phage plaques and enhanced their activity, suggesting potential benefits of using molasses alongside phage therapy.
