The level of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the human body is closely associated with cardiovascular diseases and inflammation. In this study, a label-free functionalized aptamer sensor was attached to an electrode trimmed with in-gold nanoparticles and carboxylated graphene oxide (AuNPs/GO-COOH) to achieve sensitive measurements relative to CRP. Gold nanoparticles were selected for this study due to super stability, remarkably high electrical conductivity, and biocompatibility. In addition, carboxylated graphene oxide was utilized to promote the anchorage of inducer molecules and to increase detection accuracies. The sensing signal was recorded using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and it produced a conspicuous peak current obtained at approximately -0.4 V. Furthermore, the adapted sensor manifested a broad linear span from 0.001 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL. The results also demonstrated that this aptamer sensor had superior stability, specificity, and reproducibility. This aptamer-based electrochemical sensor has enormous potential in complex application situations with interfering substances.

Bacteria have a significant impact on human production and life, endangering human life and health, so rapid detection of infectious agents is essential to improve human health. Aptamers, which are pieces of oligonucleotides (DNA or RNA) have been applied to biosensors for bacteria detection due to their high affinity, selectivity, robust chemical stability, and their compatibility with various signal amplification and signal transduction mechanisms. In this review, we summarize the different bacterial aptamers selected in recent years using SELEX technology and discuss the differences in optical and electrochemical bacterial aptamer sensors.

Article Synopsis
- Bacterial infectious diseases pose a significant public health challenge, especially with rising antibiotic resistance, making fast detection of pathogens essential for control measures.
- Current methods rely on culture techniques, which are time-consuming and require special equipment, leading to a need for alternative detection methods that can quickly identify whole bacteria without culture.
- Aptamer-based assays are emerging as a promising alternative, offering benefits such as stability, specificity, and cost-effectiveness, with various detection techniques like optical and electrochemical methods enhancing their utility in diagnosing bacterial infections.

Electrochemical aptamer-based biosensors (E-aptasensors) are emerging platforms for point-of-care (POC) detection of complex biofluids. Human saliva particularly offers a noninvasive matrix and unprecedented convenience for detecting illicit drugs, such as cocaine. However, the sensitivity of cocaine E-aptasensors is significantly compromised in saliva.

Although various sensors specifically developed for target analytes are available, affordable biosensing solutions with broad applicability are limited. In this study, a cost-effective biosensor for detecting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) was developed using custom-made gold leaf electrodes (GLEs). A novel strategy for antibody immobilization on a gold surface, for the first time mediated by protein L and HER2-specific antibody trastuzumab, was examined using commercial screen-printed gold electrodes and GLEs.
