Abstract
Bacterial infections are common causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide; therefore, environmental contamination by bacterial pathogens represents a global public health concern. Consequently, a selective, rapid, sensitive, and in-field detection platform for detecting significant bacterial contamination is required to ensure hygiene and protect public health. Here, we developed a fast and simple platform for the selective and sensitive detection of bacteria by measuring adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence following targeted photothermal lysis mediated by antibody conjugated gold nanorods. This method employed both targeted photothermal lysis of bacteria by near-infrared irradiation and highly selective detection of the lysed bacteria via ATP bioluminescence within 36 min (incubation, 30 min; NIR-irradiation, 6 min). Using the proposed method allowed limits of detection in pure solution of 12.7 CFU, 70.7 CFU, and 5.9 CFU for Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella typhimurium, and Listeria monocytogenes, respectively. Additionally, bacteria were successfully detected on artificially inoculated plastic cutting boards. Furthermore, this method was highly specific, without cross-reaction among pathogenic bacteria. We believe that the proposed method has significant potential as an on-site diagnostic tool for applications associated with public health and environmental-pollution monitoring.Keywords
