Background: A novel paper-based electrochemiluminescence test strip (ECL-TS) for the detection of pathogenic microorganisms is developed by combining lateral flow immunochromatography(LFIC) with ECL.
Methods: Based on the principle of double-antibody sandwich, monoclonal antibody 1 labeled with tris(bipyridine)ruthenium is fixed on the conjugate pad as the labeled antibody, and monoclonal antibody 2 is directly fixed on the detection pad as the capture antibody. The antibody is Made to flow to the detection region through LFIC and specifically bind to the capture antibody in the detection region. Cyclic voltammetry scanning is carried out at a speed of 0.1 V/s in the detection region to obtain an ECL signal, which is then converted into the content of the virus in the sample to be tested.
Results: Under the optimized conditions, the developed test strip could be detected within 5 min, with a minimum detection Limit of 7.96 pg/mL, a reproducibility deviation of 5.62%, a stability deviation of 6.34%, and a KAPPA value of 0.88, which was specific for the related viruses.
Conclusions: The developed paper-based ECL-TS provides a portable, rapid and sensitive detection method. Taking the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) as an example, compared with the nucleic acid detection method, this method has the advantages of being rapid, accurate and low-cost. It is expected to be used as a point-of-care testing (POCT) tool in the detection of pathogenic microorganisms.

Cell death mechanisms play a fundamental role in mycobacterial pathogenesis. We critically reviewed 94 research manuscripts, 44 review articles, and 4 book chapters to analyze important discoveries, background literature, and potential shortcomings in the field. The focus of this review is the pathogen (Mtb) and other Mtb and complex microorganisms.

Background: Healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) pose a serious threat to healthcare systems. Accurately determining the incidence of HCAIs is crucial for planning and implementing efficient interventions, as they are associated with a wide range of challenges. The objective of this study was to assess and update the incidence rates of HCAIs in Iran in 2023, using data from the Iranian Nosocomial Infection Surveillance (INIS) system, a nationwide hospital-based surveillance program.

Unlabelled: Microalgae treatment is regarded as a green and environmentally acceptable method of treating pig farm biogas slurry (BS). Numerous studies have been conducted on the use of microalgae to treat sterilized BS. Nevertheless, in large-scale application settings, this method will undoubtedly result in high costs and low efficiency.

Clinical microbiology involves the detection and differentiation of primarily bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi in patients with infections. Billions of people may be colonised by one or more species of common luminal intestinal parasitic protists (CLIPPs) that are often detected in clinical microbiology laboratories; still, our knowledge on these organisms' impact on global health is very limited. The genera Blastocystis, Dientamoeba, Entamoeba, Endolimax and Iodamoeba comprise CLIPPs species, the life cycles of which, as opposed to single-celled pathogenic intestinal parasites (e.

Certain pathogenic microorganisms present in nest environments may compromise avian health through direct infection of both adult birds and their offspring, ultimately leading to reduced reproductive success. However, there is a lack of systematic research on the changes in the microbial environment within the nest during the nest-building stages, where nest-building activities may exert a positive impact on the associated microbial communities.
