A simple, rapid, and visual approach is developed to perform diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) by employing smart bifunctional DNA (bfDNA) sensors, exonuclease III, concatermers of CuO nanoparticles (CuONPs), and gold NPs (AuNPs) aggregation [AuNPs agglutination (AA)], namely, the bfDEC-AA method. The bfDNA sensors serve as probes for identifying 16S rRNA genes of bacterium or 18S rRNA of fungus and as mediators connecting the concatermers of CuONPs. The AA as a signal source is triggered by Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition click chemistry.

Recently, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) isomers and other semi-synthetic cannabinoids have been introduced into the consumer market as alternatives to botanical cannabis. To assess the prevalence of these potential new analytical targets, a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry confirmation method was developed for the quantitation of seven cannabinoid metabolites and the qualitative identification of four others in urine. The validated method was applied to authentic urine specimens that screened positive by immunoassay (50 ng/mL cutoff; n=1300).

Article Synopsis
- Purple Urine Bag Syndrome (PUBS) is a rare occurrence linked to urinary infections in patients with catheters, causing urine to turn purple due to bacterial enzyme reactions.
- The purple color results from the breakdown of the amino acid tryptophan into indoxyl sulfate and further into indigo and indirubin in the presence of specific bacteria and alkaline conditions.
- A case study described an elderly woman in a nursing home who developed PUBS during hospitalization due to various health issues, with the purple color disappearing after changing her catheter and urinary bag.
