A transcription aptasensor: amplified, label-free and culture-independent detection of foodborne pathogens via light-up RNA aptamers

Abstract
We report a transcription aptasensor by using a light-up RNA aptamer. It allows for sensitive, label-free and culture-free detection of intact foodborne pathogens, and no separation, purification or enrichment processes are involved.
