In this work, A novel label-free electrochemical biosensor based on octahedral CuO @ Au nanocomposites was developed for the detection of tetracycline. The gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the surface of CuO nanomaterials not only improve the electrochemical performance, but also can be used as a binding site for thiol-modified tetracycline aptamers, which can specifically bind to tetracycline. CuO @ Au nanocomposites provide a synergistic effect of electrochemical signal amplification and tetracycline recognition strategy. Under the optimal conditions, the proposed biosensor exhibited different electrochemical reactions for different concentrations of tetracycline, with a linear range of 1 nM-1000 μM and a detection limit of 0.16 nM. This work provides a new idea for rapid and sensitive detection of tetracycline by using a simple and economical tetracycline aptamer combined with CuO @ Au biosensor platform.

Tetracycline (TC) is widely used in veterinary medicine and animal feed; however, TC residues in food pose a risk to human health. Thus, the sensitive and selective detection of TC is needed to ensure food safety. Herein, we developed a CRISPR-Cas12a biosensor with competitive aptamer binding to detect TC residues.

Tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) are extensively used as broad-spectrum antimicrobials. However, their excessive use and misuse have led to serious accumulation in foods and environments, posing a significant threat to human health. To solve such public issue, we have designed a novel dual-mode detection method, integrating colorimetric sensing with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology, for sensitive and rapid evaluation on TCs.

This study introduces an innovative bio-based sorbent bead crafted by integrating chitosan (CS) biopolymers, Fe(NO3)3 and polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) via glutaraldehyde crosslinking. The primary focus of this study was the concurrent separation of diverse tetracycline antibiotics (TCs), followed by rigorous reversed-phase liquid chromatography analysis. The fabricated CS/Fe@PDA sorbent beads were comprehensively characterized using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, revealing a surface rich in active carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O) moieties.

Objectives: Sheep farming represents an important economic sector in Algeria, and the potential dissemination of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcaceae (MRS) is a critical veterinary and public health concern. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and types of MRS in ovine in Algeria and characterize them using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis.
Methods: Two hundred sheep from twenty different Algerian farms across three regions were screened for nasal colonization with MRS.
