Herein, a non-enzymatic sandwich-type electrochemical immunoassay was fabricated for quantitative monitoring of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7). Silica coated FeO magnetic nanoparticles (FeO@SiO) were modified with mouse anti-E. coli O157:H7 monoclonal antibody (Ab) to act as capture probes to reduce detection time and increase the sensitivity of the immunoassay. The Au@Pt nanoparticles were loaded on neutral red (NR) functionalized graphene to form composite complex rGO-NR-Au@Pt. rGO-NR-Au@Pt has high specific surface area and good biocompatibility. rGO-NR-Au@Pt was used as the carriers of detection antibodies (Ab). Au@Pt catalyzed the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (HO) to detection of E. coli O157:H7 with the thionine (TH) as electron mediator to effectually amply the current signal. Under the optimized conditions, a linear relationship between the reduction peak current change (ΔI) and the logarithm of the E. coli O157:H7 concentration is obtained in the range from 4.0 × 10 to 4.0 × 10 CFU mL and the limit of detection (LOD) is 4.5 × 10 CFU mL at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The immunoassay exhibits acceptable specificity, reproducibility and stability on the detection of E. coli O157:H7. Furthermore, the immunoassay showed good performance in pork and milk samples. The results suggest that this immunoassay will be promising in the food safety area.

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.
