Article Abstract

Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhi) a predominant foodborne pathogen, significantly impacting global public health. Therefore, timely diagnosis is imperative to safeguard overall human health. To address this, we developed a novel CRISPR/Cas12a-mediated electrochemical detection system (biosensor) for targeting the SifA gene of S. typhi. To construct the biosensor, we utilized a screen-printed gold electrode (SPGE) as an electrochemical transducer and CRISPR/Cas12a for detection of SifA gene of S. typhi. The developed electrochemical biosensor exhibited an exceptional detection limit of 0.634 ± 0.029 pM, which was determined through differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) by utilizing a potentiostat. We compared the fabricated biosensor with gold standard RT-PCR and the visual detection limit of SifA was found to be 10 μM (in spiked buffer samples). The lower detection limit of fabricated biosensor provides an upper edge over the RT-PCR. Further, the fabricated biosensor also has the potential to serve as a rapid, stable, efficient, and early detection tool for S. typhi, offering promising advancements in diagnostic realms.

Mustard agents, including sulphur mustard (SM) and nitrogen mustard (NM), are chemical warfare agents that can cause blistering of the skin and mucous membranes upon contact. Although SM and NM both have dermal effects, their medical management of systemic poisoning differs significantly. A rapid and simple method for detecting and discriminating between SM and NM would be greatly valuable.

Salicylic acid (SA) is a critical phytohormone involved in plant growth, development, and defense responses, making its precise quantification essential for both agricultural management and environmental monitoring. Here, we report a novel label-free near-infrared aptasensor (NIRApt) for the rapid and sensitive detection of SA, utilizing a rationally selected triphenylmethane (TPM) dye. Through systematic screening, ethyl violet (EV) was identified as the optimal fluorophore, showing pronounced fluorescence enhancement upon binding to a SA-specific aptamer.
