Abstract
In this study, a novel electrochemical biosensor was developed for the sensitive and selective detection of the Acinetobacter baumannii gene sequence. The biosensor was created by immobilizing a capture probe specific to the A. baumannii gene on the surface of chitosan-gold modified pencil graphite electrodes. Following solid-state hybridization on the Chit-Au/PGE surface, the target DNA sequence of the A. baumannii was detected by measuring the guanine signal using square wave voltammetry (SWV). All experimental parameters impacting sensor response are examined in order to improve hybridization efficacy, and the electrochemical biosensor's performance. The limit of detection (LOD) for the A. baumannii gene sequence was calculated and found to be 1.93nM. Three different non-complementary DNA sequences were used to evaluate the assay selectivity, but no interference effect was obtained. Additionally, the potential applicability of the biosensor to real samples was tested in artificial serum media. The suggested electrochemical test procedure is simple, approachable, and quick, making it a convenient approach for the screening of DNA sequence.
