Abstract
The rapid and sensitive detection of Escherichia/Shigella genera is crucial for human disease and health. This study introduces a novel series of piezoelectric quartz crystal (SPQC) sensors for detecting Escherichia/Shigella genera. In this innovative biosensor, we propose a new target and novel method for synthesizing long-range DNA. The method relies on the amplification of two DNA probes, referred to as H and P amplification (HPA), resulting in the products of long-range DNA named Sn. The new target was screened from the 16S rRNA gene and utilized as a biomarker. The SPQC sensor operates as follows: the Capture probe is modified on the electrodes. In the presence of a Displace probe and target, the Capture can form a complex with the Displace probe. The resulting complex hybridizes with Sn, bridging the gap between the electrodes. Finally, silver wires are deposited between the electrodes using Sn as a template. This process results in a sensitive response from the SPQC. The detection limit of the SPQC sensor is 1 CFU/mL, and the detection time is within 2 h. This sensor would be of great benefit for food safety monitoring and clinical diagnosis.
