Abstract:
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is one of the most important foodborne pathogens that cause various life-threatening diseases in human and animals. Here, we present a rapid detection platform for V. parahaemolyticus by combining loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and disposable electrochemical sensors based on screen-printed graphene electrodes (SPGEs). The LAMP reactions using primers targeting V. parahaemolyticus toxR gene were optimized at an isothermal temperature of 65 °C, providing specific detection of V. parahaemolyticus within 45 min at the detection limit of 0.3 CFU per 25 g of raw seafood. The LAMP amplicons can be effectively detected using unmodified SPGEs, redox active molecules namely Hoechst-33258 and a portable potentiostat. Therefore, the proposed system is particularly suitable as a point-of-care device for on-site detection of foodborne pathogens.
