The aptamers functionalized orange-emission carbon dots (OCDs) and green-emission carbon dots (GCDs) had dual-emission peaks with single excitation. Tungsten disulfide nanosheets (WS NSs)-triggered fluorescence quenching achieved the ratiometric fluorescence determination of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) with wide ranges of 18-1.8 × 10 and 37-3.7 × 10 CFU/mL and low detection limits of 8 and 20 CFU/mL, respectively. The results in real sample with recoveries of 90-101 % and RSD < 4.12 % were no significant difference from standard plate counting method. Meanwhile, the dual-color CDs were further adopted in the smartphone-assisted hydrogel platform and achieved speedy, sensitive, portable and real-time determination of E. coli O157:H7 and S. aureus in real samples. This work has not only developed ratiometric fluorescence detection and constructed a portable hydrogel platform, but also provided a unique strategy in developing a time-efficient and easy-to-use portable device in food safety monitoring.

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.
