Abstract

The current foodborne pathogen detection methods, such as culture-based methods, polymerase chain reaction, and optical and electrochemical biosensors with nucleic acid, have high sensitivity and selectivity. However, they are slow, expensive, and require well-trained operators. In this study, we utilized a 3D printer to develop a novel chip with an aptamer-based nanointerferometer capable of identifying four distinct foodborne pathogens: Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus. The aptamer sensor on the chip achieved a limit-of-detection of 10 colony forming unit (CFU)/ml. With its high sensitivity and specificity, this chip offers a cost-effective platform for distinguishing and screening different foodborne pathogens.
