Area of Science:

  • Food microbiology
  • Biosensing technology
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Foodborne pathogens proliferate rapidly, posing significant risks to public health and the environment.
  • Timely detection of pathogens is crucial to prevent widespread contamination and outbreaks.
  • Existing detection methods can be time-consuming and lack the sensitivity required for early-stage contamination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, rapid, and sensitive method for detecting foodborne bacteria using modified hydrogel stir bars.
  • To enable simultaneous detection of multiple bacterial species.
  • To simplify the detection process for practical application in food safety.

Main Methods:

  • Development of transparent porous hydrogel stir bars modified with specific phages targeting *Escherichia coli* and *Hafnia sp*.
  • Utilizing a small animal live imager for high-throughput screening of samples.
  • Employing an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence sensor for quantification of bacteria in positive samples.
  • Pre-encapsulation of bioluminescence reagents within the hydrogel to streamline the assay.

Main Results:

  • The developed method achieved a detection range of 10^2-10^8 CFU·mL^-1 with a limit of detection as low as 30 CFU·mL^-1 within 11 minutes.
  • Phage modification provided high specificity and capture ability, enhancing detection sensitivity.
  • The hydrogel's structure and transparency facilitated increased phage loading and efficient bioluminescence detection.
  • Simultaneous detection of multiple bacteria was demonstrated using different phages.
  • Validation with actual food samples showed comparable results to traditional plate counting but with significantly reduced time.

Conclusions:

  • Phage-modified hydrogel stir bars offer a highly sensitive, specific, and rapid platform for detecting foodborne bacteria.
  • The integrated system simplifies the detection workflow, making it suitable for rapid screening and quantification.
  • This technology significantly shortens detection times, improving the efficiency of food safety monitoring.
