Sensitive and efficient analysis of methicillin-resistance of SA is crucial for improving the nursing performance of pneumonia.

This paper presents the development of a new fluorescent biosensor for detecting <i>mecA</i> gene using a triple-branch catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) triggered DNAzyme switch-based DNA tweezer. The SA from the samples are immobilized on the plate's surface using the protein A antibody. The biosensor possesses several key features. Firstly, it utilizes dual signal amplification processes, specifically the triple-branch CHA and DNAzyme controlled DNA tweezer-based signal recycling, to enable mecA detection on the plate. This design enhances the method's sensitivity, resulting in a low limit of detection of 1.5 fM. Secondly, the biosensor does not rely on enzymes for <i>mecA</i> analysis, ensuring a high level of stability during target analysis. Lastly, the method demonstrates a remarkable selectivity by accurately distinguishing target sequences from non-target sequences.

Furthermore, in vivo study outcomes demonstrated that KCH improved intestinal transit, increased fecal moisture content, and reduced fecal impaction in constipated mice.
