Abstract
Burkholderia gladioli (B. gladioli), a foodborne pathogen, poses a significant threat to global food safety because of its adverse effects on human health. Conventional detection methods are often labor-intensive, time-consuming, and costly, highlighting the urgent need for rapid, simple, and sensitive detection strategies. Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has been widely adopted for point-of-care testing (POCT) owing to its simplicity, portability, and rapid response. In this study, an aggregation-induced emission metal–organic framework (AIE-MOF)-based LFIA (AIE-MOF-LFIA) was developed for the rapid on-site detection of B. gladioli. The proposed assay achieved a detection limit of 72 CFU/mL, representing an approximately 25-fold improvement in sensitivity over conventional gold-nanoparticle-based LFIA (AuNP-LFIA). No cross-reactivity was observed with eight common foodborne pathogens, and both intra- and inter-batch coefficients of variation (CVs) remained below 10%. Recoveries from wood ears, yellow corn flour, and wet rice noodles samples ranged from 83.92% to 113.75%. Moreover, distinct fluorescent signals were generated within 10 min, enabling rapid visual detection. The proposed assay features simple operation, supporting both naked-eye qualitative analysis and instrument-assisted quantitative detection, together with good analytical performance. It provides a practical platform for rapid on-site screening of B. gladioli in high-risk foods and facilitates early food safety risk assessment and intervention.
期刊介绍:
Food Analytical Methods publishes original articles, review articles, and notes on novel and/or state-of-the-art analytical methods or issues to be solved, as well as significant improvements or interesting applications to existing methods. These include analytical technology and methodology for food microbial contaminants, food chemistry and toxicology, food quality, food authenticity and food traceability. The journal covers fundamental and specific aspects of the development, optimization, and practical implementation in routine laboratories, and validation of food analytical methods for the monitoring of food safety and quality.
