Rapid and effective analysis of foodborne bacteria is crucial for preventing and controlling bacterial infections. Here, we present the synthesis of a self-reporting molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as an inner reference probe (IR), and the in-situ growth of metal-organic frameworks on transition metal carbon nitrides (MOF/TiCT-MXene) as a signaling nanoprobe (SP). These advancements are then applied in a ratiometric electrochemical bioassay for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) using a hybrid recognition mechanism. When S. aureus is present, the aptamer-integrated MIP (MIP@Apt) efficiently captures it, followed by binding with SP to form a sandwich structure. This leads to decreased current response of IR (I) and increased current intensity of SP (I), enabling quantification through utilization of the I to I ratio. The biosensor shows a wide detection range (10-10 CFU mL) and low detection limit of 1.2 CFU mL. Its feasibility for testing complex samples indicates the potential application in food analysis.
