Abstract
A novel electrochemical sensing strategy was developed for ultrasensitive and rapid detection of Salmonella by combining the rolling circle amplification with DNA–AuNPs probe. The target DNA could be specifically captured by probe 1 on the sensing interface. Then the circularization mixture was added to form a typical sandwich structure. In the presence of dNTPs and phi29 DNA polymerase, the RCA was initiated to produce micrometer-long single-strand DNA. Finally, the detection probe (DNA–AuNPs) could recognize RCA product to produce enzymatic electrochemical signal. Under optimal conditions, the calibration curve of synthetic target DNA had good linearity from 10aM to 10pM with a detection limit of 6.76aM (S/N=3). The developed method had been successfully applied to detect Salmonella as low as 6CFUmL−1 in real milk sample. This proposed strategy showed great potential for clinical diagnosis, food safety and environmental monitoring.
