- Abstract
A novel bipolar electrode (BPE)-electrochemiluminescence (ECL) device was constructed for the ultra-sensitive detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) by combining polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and DNA network-loaded polymethylene blue nanoparticles (pMB NPs). The presence of target triggered the dissociation of double-stranded DNA on Fe
3 O4 NPs and the release of T strand, which initiated the PCR. The PCR product contains two protruding single-stranded DNA fragments that serve as bridges to connect Au NPs labeled probes. The PCR-Au products were captured by the probes on cathode of BPE to form three-dimensional DNA networks, which offer multiple adsorption sites for pMB NPs, leading to the remarkable enhancement of ECL intensity. Under optimal circumstances, a wide linear range from 10 to 108 CFU/mL and a low detection limit of 0.78 CFU/mL were achieved. This research opens new horizons for the application of PCR-based biosensors for the accurate and sensitive measurement of pathogenic bacteria., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: Meisheng Wu reports financial support was provided by National Natural Science Foundation of China.
