Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical analysis and detection technology, specifically to a method for detecting Escherichia coli in food using Fe3O4@Mo-CDs nanozyme-binding aptamers. Background Technology

[0002] Food safety is receiving increasing global attention. Despite significant success in treating pathogenic diseases, infections caused by pathogens remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Escherichia coli (E. coli) Escherichia coli Escherichia coli (E. coli) is one of the most common foodborne pathogens that can cause serious illnesses, including inflammation, hemorrhagic colitis, and hemolytic uremic syndrome, and can even lead to death, especially in young people, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. Outbreaks of foodborne illnesses caused by E. coli are often linked to contaminated food and water. Therefore, in addition to effective treatment, rapid and reliable detection of foodborne pathogens is essential for food safety.

[0003] Fe3O4NPs, due to their excellent biocompatibility, superparamagnetism, and peroxidase-like activity, have been widely used in sensors, biomedicine, and microbial detection and treatment. However, Fe3O4NPs exhibit high chemical reactivity and are easily oxidized and lose their magnetism in air. Molybdenum-based nanomaterials possess excellent near-infrared light absorption and biocompatibility. Fe3O4NPs modified with molybdenum-based nanomaterials not only have enhanced peroxidase-like activity but also exhibit near-infrared light response properties. Nucleic acid aptamers (Apts) are concise single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules that can selectively bind to specific target molecules, including proteins, peptides, small molecules, and even whole cells. They are generated through the Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX) method. Combining nanozymes with nucleic acid aptamers for rapid and specific detection of target substances has become a research hotspot in food safety control. Summary of the Invention
