Bio-Specific Au/Fe<sup>3+</sup> Porous Spongy Nanoclusters for Sensitive SERS Detection of <i>Escherichia coli</i> O157:H7

For sensitive and fast detection of <i>Escherichia coli</i> O157:H7, organic and inorganic hybrid Au/Fe<sup>3+</sup> nanoclusters (NCs) were synthesized for the first time using gold nanoparticles (GNPs), bovine serum albumin, ferric chloride, phosphate-buffered saline, and a...

description For sensitive and fast detection of <i>Escherichia coli</i> O157:H7, organic and inorganic hybrid Au/Fe<sup>3+</sup> nanoclusters (NCs) were synthesized for the first time using gold nanoparticles (GNPs), bovine serum albumin, ferric chloride, phosphate-buffered saline, and antibodies. The Au/Fe<sup>3+</sup> porous spongy NCs with large surface area showed excellent bio-specific capability for <i>E. coli</i> O157:H7. GNPs in Au/Fe<sup>3+</sup> NCs functioned as signal enhancers, significantly increasing the Raman signal via the metathesis reaction product of Prussian blue and obviously improving the detection sensitivity. We combined the novel Au/Fe<sup>3+</sup> NCs with antibody-modified magnetic nanoparticles to create a biosensor capable of sensitive detection of <i>E. coli</i> O157:H7, which showed a good linear response (10<sup>1</sup> to 10<sup>6</sup> cfu/mL), high detection sensitivity (2 cfu/mL), and good recovery rate (93.60–97.50%) in spiked food samples. These results make the biosensor well-suited for food safety monitoring. This strategy achieves the goal of sensitive and quantitative detection of <i>E. coli</i> O157:H7.
