Abstract

Post-operative pathogenic infections in liver transplantation seriously threaten human health. It is essential to develop novel methods for the highly sensitive and rapid detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Interestingly, the combination of the property of bacteria to secrete hydrogen peroxidase, bacterial metabolism-triggered-chemiluminescence (CL)-based bioassays can be as a candidate point-of-care testing (POCT) for the detection of S. aureus against the CL substrate Luminol and hydrogen peroxide without excitation light sources. Here, a CL-based strategy with stable and visualized CL intensity was fabricated according to a hybrid biomimetic enzyme of copper-Hemin metal-organic framework, which enhances the biological enzyme activity while improving the stability and sensitivity of the assay. By further integrating S. aureus-specific capture and one-step separation of the antibody-modified FeO NPs (FeO NPs@Ab), the portable device integrated smartphone enables CL-based POCT for specific detection of S. aureus in the range of 10-10 CFU/mL with a limit of detection as low as 1 CFU/mL. Specifically, S. aureus can be eliminated after detection with high antibacterial efficiency due to the excellent photothermal properties of FeO NPs@Ab. The developed multifunctional platform has the advantages of simplicity of operation and low cost, indicating great potential in clinical applications.
