Herein, we report the development of an electrochemical biosensor for Escherichia coli O157:H7 diagnostic based on amino-functionalized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a new generation of organic-inorganic hybrid nanocomposites. The electrical and morphological properties of MOFs were enhanced by interweaving each isolated MOF crystal with polyaniline (PANI). Subsequent attachment of the amine-modified aptamer to the polyanilinated MOFs was accomplished using glutaraldehyde (GA) as a cross-linking agent. The prepared biocompatible platform was carefully characterized by means of field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) techniques. The biosensor fabrication and its electrochemical characterizations were monitored by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was applied to monitoring and quantitation of the interaction between the aptamer and E. coli O157:H7 using methylene blue (MB) as an electrochemical indicator. Changes in the reduction peak current of MB in the presence of E. coli O157:H7 was recorded as an analytical signal and indicated a relationship with the logarithm of the E. coli O157:H7 concentration in the range of 2.1 × 10 to 2.1 × 10 CFU mL with a LOQ of 21 CFU mL and LOD of 2 CFU mL. The electrochemical aptasensor displayed good recovery values for the detection of E. coli O157:H7 in environmental real samples and also could act as a smart device to investigate the effects of antibacterial agents against E. coli O157:H7.

Effect of active composite coating based on nanochitosan-whey protein isolate on the microbial safety of chilled rainbow trout fillets packed with oxygen absorber.

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.
