The widespread prevalence of underscores the urgent need for rapid, sensitive, and reliable detection methods to ensure food safety and protection of public health. In this study, we successfully developed an integrated detection system that combines immunomagnetic separation with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis. This system achieved high capture efficiencies, exceeding 96.04% in phosphate-buffered saline and over 91.66% in milk samples artificially spiked with Typhimurium at concentrations below 4.2 × 10 CFU/mL. However, direct SPR detection of the isolated . Typhimurium showed limited sensitivity, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 4.2 × 10 CFU/mL. Incorporating a sandwich assay with antibody-conjugated gold nanoparticles significantly enhanced sensitivity, lowering the LOD by six orders of magnitude to 4.2 × 10 CFU/mL. The whole integrated process, integrating immunomagnetic separation with SPR analysis, was completed within 50 min. These results demonstrate that this AuNP-enhanced SPR platform offers both the rapidity and sensitivity essential for effective monitoring of food safety and traceability in -related foodborne outbreaks, particularly in products such as milk.

Giardia lamblia is a flagellated protozoan and the etiological agent of giardiasis, a leading cause of epidemic and sporadic diarrhoea globally. The clinical and public health relevance of giardiasis underscores the need for robust methodologies to investigate and manage this pathogen. This study reviews the main methodologies described in the literature for studying the life cycle of G.

With the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, there is an increased interest in identifying and isolating rare cell populations to understand their roles in homeostatic and pathophysiological states. Lymphatic vessels exist in nearly all vascularized tissues and have become increasingly appreciated as physiological and biological mediators of tissue homeostasis and immune function. Lymphatics, and the lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) that make up these vessels, are low in number compared to blood endothelial cells and other stromal cell types and share surface markers with these cells.

Endothelial cells (ECs) regulate angiogenesis in normal and pathological conditions. Isolation and culture of ECs are used for deciphering the underlying mechanisms of vascular-related pathological conditions, and the use of ECs from transgenic mice allows the study of the functional significance of certain proteins upon their lack of expression or mutation status. This protocol describes an efficient method of lung EC isolation from adult mice using magnetic beads and is based on the expression of ICAM-2, a transmembrane endothelial-specific protein.

Aims: Rapid detection of bloodstream infection pathogens is essential, as traditional blood cultures require 24-72 h, delaying treatment and reducing survival rates. This study aims to develop a simple, efficient strategy for rapidly isolating Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram negative), Staphylococcus aureus (Gram positive), and Candida albicans (yeast) directly from blood while preserving whole-cell integrity for downstream applications such as fluorescence staining.
Methods And Results: The method employs antibody-conjugated magnetic beads (MBs) to capture pathogens directly from blood, enhancing detection sensitivity for low-abundance organisms.
