Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), is one of the most widespread infectious diseases, with nearly 2 billion people infected globally. We present an innovative approach for the real-time detection of TB antigens Mpt64 and Ag85B using DNA aptamers in combination with a graphene oxide (GO)-assisted optical microfiber super-sensor. The high surface-to-volume ratio and superior properties of the GO layer significantly enhance the microfiber's fixation capabilities. To validate the clinical applicability of this sensing method, we employed the optical sensor to successfully detect Mpt64 and Ag85B in serum samples within 10 s, achieving limits of detection of 4.23 × 10⁻²⁰ M and 3.11 × 10⁻¹⁹ M, respectively. Due to the high conservation of Mpt64 and Ag85B in human and bovine MTB strains, our detection system can be used to identify MTB in both humans and bovine. These results demonstrate the sensor's high sensitivity for quantifying MTB particles, enabling rapid identification of infected individuals or bovine. Overall, the optical microfiber sensor system offers a promising platform for diagnosing MTB due to its straightforward detection scheme and potential for miniaturization.

期刊介绍： Biotechnology & Bioengineering publishes Perspectives, Articles, Reviews, Mini-Reviews, and Communications to the Editor that embrace all aspects of biotechnology. These include: -Enzyme systems and their applications, including enzyme reactors, purification, and applied aspects of protein engineering -Animal-cell biotechnology, including media development -Applied aspects of cellular physiology, metabolism, and energetics -Biocatalysis and applied enzymology, including enzyme reactors, protein engineering, and nanobiotechnology -Biothermodynamics -Biofuels, including biomass and renewable resource engineering -Biomaterials, including delivery systems and materials for tissue engineering -Bioprocess engineering, including kinetics and modeling of biological systems, transport phenomena in bioreactors, bioreactor design, monitoring, and control -Biosensors and instrumentation -Computational and systems biology, including bioinformatics and genomic/proteomic studies -Environmental biotechnology, including biofilms, algal systems, and bioremediation -Metabolic and cellular engineering -Plant-cell biotechnology -Spectroscopic and other analytical techniques for biotechnological applications -Synthetic biology -Tissue engineering, stem-cell bioengineering, regenerative medicine, gene therapy and delivery systems The editors will consider papers for publication based on novelty, their immediate or future impact on biotechnological processes, and their contribution to the advancement of biochemical engineering science. Submission of papers dealing with routine aspects of bioprocessing, description of established equipment, and routine applications of established methodologies (e.g., control strategies, modeling, experimental methods) is discouraged. Theoretical papers will be judged based on the novelty of the approach and their potential impact, or on their novel capability to predict and elucidate experimental observations.
