Abstract
Mastitis, a common disease in dairy cows, impacts both dairy cows health and farm profitability. Streptococcus pyogenes, a major pathogen, can cause outbreaks in cows and foodborne illnesses, threatening dairy product safety. Given the specificity of the cows farm location and limited testing resources and possible missed detections due to the presence of several different subtypes of S. pyogenes, two rapid tests were developed: a latex beads-based lateral flow immunoassay (LBs-LFIA) and a fluorescent immunoassay using europium nanoparticles (EuNPs-LFIA). LBs-LFIA can detect S. pyogenes in raw milk at 105 CFU/mL within 15 min without complex pre-treatment, aiding in mastitis diagnosis. EuNPs-LFIA offers quantifiable detection with a sensitivity of 5 × 103 CFU/mL. In field tests, these methods detected S. pyogenes in 4.62 % (9/195) of raw milk samples, aligning with standard methods. These tools provide effective on-site detection options for dairy product safety and contribute to dairy cow health monitoring.
期刊介绍:
The Microchemical Journal is a peer reviewed journal devoted to all aspects and phases of analytical chemistry and chemical analysis. The Microchemical Journal publishes articles which are at the forefront of modern analytical chemistry and cover innovations in the techniques to the finest possible limits. This includes fundamental aspects, instrumentation, new developments, innovative and novel methods and applications including environmental and clinical field.
Traditional classical analytical methods such as spectrophotometry and titrimetry as well as established instrumentation methods such as flame and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, gas chromatography, and modified glassy or carbon electrode electrochemical methods will be considered, provided they show significant improvements and novelty compared to the established methods.
