The rapid and sensitive detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is essential to ensure food safety and protect humans from foodborne diseases. In this study, a sensitive and facile electrochemical immunosensor using AuPdPt trimetallic nanoparticles functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-AuPdPt) as the signal amplification platform was designed for the label-free detection of S. aureus. The nanocomposite of MWCNTs-AuPdPt was prepared by an in situ growth method of loading AuPdPt trimetallic nanoparticles on the surface of MWCNTs. The synthesized MWCNTs-AuPdPt featured good conductivity and superior catalytic performance for hydrogen peroxide. The nanocomposite of MWCNTs-AuPdPt with good biocompatibility and high specific surface area was further functionalized by anti-S. aureus antibodies. The immobilized antibodies could efficiently capture S. aureus to the modified electrode by an immune reaction, which resulted in the change of catalytic current intensity to realize the sensitive detection of S. aureus. The designed immunosensor could detect S. aureus in a linear range from 1.1 × 102 to 1.1 × 107 CFU mL−1 with a low detection limit of 39 CFU mL−1. Additionally, the proposed immunosensor was successfully applied to determine S. aureus in actual samples with acceptable results. This strategy provided a promising platform for highly sensitive determination of S. aureus and other pathogens in food products.

Background: Immunoglobulin A (IgA) accounts for 15% of total protein production per day and plays a crucial role in the first-line immune defence. Recently, IgA has been established as a vital clinical biomarker for nephropathy, allergic asthma, celiac disease (CD), pneumonia, and asthma as well as some neurological disorders. In this work, we have studied several carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) having different dimensions (D): carbon nano-onions (CNOs) - 0D, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) - 1D, and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) - 2D, on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to identify which CNMs (CNOs/SWCNTs/GNPs) work best to fabricate IgA based electrochemical immunosensor. Methods: Different CNMs (CNOs, SWCNTs, GNPs) were tested for high electric current on GCE using square wave voltammetry (SWV), and among them, GNPs modified GCE platform (GNPs/GCE) showcased the highest electric current. Therefore, GNPs/GCE was utilized for the development of highly sensitive label-free electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of Immunoglobulin A using SWV. Results: Despite the simple fabrication strategies employed, the fabricated sensor demonstrated a low limit of detection of 50 fg mL-1 with an extensive linear range of detection from 50 fg mL-1 to 0.1 μg mL-1. Conclusion: Fabricated immunosensor represented high stability, repeatability, specificity and resistance to most common interferences as well as great potential to analyse the real sample.
