Abstract
Foodborne and waterborne bacterial infections caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli) pose a serious threat to public health and safety. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a fast and accurate diagnostic device for early detection and prevention of bacterial contamination. In this study, we designed a visual cotton fabric-based detection biosensor that can target enzymes produced by E. coli metabolism and induce color changes. In addition, the system can be integrated with the naked eye, smartphones, and small spectrometers to analyze the generated signals for qualitative, semi-quantitative, and quantitative detection. The platform achieved a minimum detection limit of 537 cfu/mL for E. coli, a wide detection range of 102-106 cfu/mL, and a minimum detection time as low as 20 mins. The detection results of complex environmental samples showed that the system has excellent anti-ion interference and anti-pH interference behavior. This visual detection biosensor has great commercial application potential and can be widely used in real-time on-site detection due to its rapid, portable, anti-interference, and low-cost advantages.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hazardous Materials serves as a global platform for promoting cutting-edge research in the field of Environmental Science and Engineering. Our publication features a wide range of articles, including full-length research papers, review articles, and perspectives, with the aim of enhancing our understanding of the dangers and risks associated with various materials concerning public health and the environment. It is important to note that the term "environmental contaminants" refers specifically to substances that pose hazardous effects through contamination, while excluding those that do not have such impacts on the environment or human health. Moreover, we emphasize the distinction between wastes and hazardous materials in order to provide further clarity on the scope of the journal. We have a keen interest in exploring specific compounds and microbial agents that have adverse effects on the environment.
