A multipurpose biochip for food pathogen detection

Abstract

Foodborne illnesses caused by the ingestion of foods contaminated with pathogens and/or their toxins arestill one of the major public health threats worldwide. Disposable devices, allowing the on-site, early andmultiplexed quantitative detection of pathogenic bacteria are therefore highly sought. Herein, we reportbiochips that are able to quantitatively detect two of the most common food-associated pathogens,namely Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus from the suspensions of bacteria stationaryphasebroth culture. With a detection limit as low as 5.00 CFU ml-1 for L. monocytogenes and 1.26 CFUml-1 for S. aureus, our platform may be a promising point-of-care device not only for clinical and fooddiagnostics but also for biosecurity purposes.
