The conventional gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with insufficient brightness face substantial challenges in developing a sensitive lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA). Herein, multibranched manganese-gold (Mn-Au) nanoparticles (MnAuNPs) with a Au core-Mn shell nanostructure were synthesized by a one-pot method. The Mn shell of valence-rich and Au core of high electron transfer efficiency endowed MnAuNPs with oxidase-like activity, which oxidized 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) only by electron transfer. Ox-TMB, which was the oxidation product of TMB, is an excellent photothermal agent. Furthermore, the synergistic photothermal effect of ox-TMB and MnAuNPs significantly enhanced the photothermal conversion efficiency. The synergistic photothermal effect of multibranched MnAuNPs and ox-TMB has enabled highly sensitive quantitative detection. The LFIA based on MnAuNPs (cascade LFIA) has achieved sensitive detection of O157:H7. The entire detection process was completed in 25 min. The limit of detection of cascade LFIA was 239 CFU mL, which was 37.21-fold lower than that of AuNPs-LFIA (8892 CFU mL). The recoveries of cascade LFIA were 82.63-111.67%, with coefficients of variation of 4.28-14.19%. Overall, this work suggests the potential of MnAuNPs and ox-TMB in the development of sensitive LFIA and broadens the biosensing strategies for point-of-care testing.

MC-PRPA-HLFIA Cascade Detection System for Point-of-Care Testing Pan-Drug-Resistant Genes in Urinary Tract Infection Samples.

Recently, urinary tract infection (UTI) triggered by bacteria carrying pan-drug-resistant genes, including carbapenem resistance gene and , colistin resistance gene , and (X) for tigecycline resistance, have been reported, posing a serious challenge to the treatment of clinical UTI. Therefore, point-of-care (POC) detection of these genes in UTI samples without the need for pre-culturing is urgently needed. Based on PEG 200-enhanced recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and a refined Chelex-100 lysis method with HRP-catalyzed lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), we developed an MCL-PRPA-HLFIA cascade assay system for detecting these genes in UTI samples.

The widespread emergence of transferable extensively drug-resistant (XDR) genes, including and for carbapenem resistance, for colistin resistance, and (X4) and (X6) for tigecycline resistance, in poses a major threat to public health. Thus, rapid on-site detection of these XDR genes is urgently needed. We developed a cascade system with a unitary polyethylene glycol (PEG) 200-enhanced recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) as the core, combined with a modified Chelex-100 lysis method and a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalyzed lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) biosensor, to accurately detect these genes in .

In this investigation, a new approach for developing a sensitive lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) was proposed for the detection of the hazardous marine toxin okadaic acid (OA). It is based on the indirect format with anti-species antibodies labeled by gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and cascade signal amplification. The latter is performed by first passing a mixture of anti-OA antibodies and a tested sample along the immunochromatographic test strip and then performing several cycles of the interaction of anti-species antibodies conjugated with AuNPs with free antibodies, which bind to anti-species antibodies but are not specific to the target analyte.
