DNA based biosensing of Acinetobacter baumannii using nanoparticles aggregation method

Abstract

Acinetobacter baumannii is the main cause of nosocomial infections in blood, urinary tract, wounds and in lungs leading to pneumonia. Apart from its strong predilection to be the cause of serious illnesses in intensive care units. Herein, we present a specific and sensitive approach for the monitoring of Acinetobacter baumannii genome based on citrate capped silver nanoparticles (Cit-AgNPs) using spectroscopic methods. In this study, (5ʹ SH-TTG TGA ACT ATT TAC GTC AGC ATG C3ʹ) sequence was used as a probe DNA (pDNA) of Acinetobacter baumannii . Then, complementary DNA (cDNA) was used for hybridization. After the hybridization of pDNA with cDNA, target DNA (5ʹ GCA TGC TGA CGT AAA TAGTTC ACA A 3ʹ) was recognized and detected using turn-on fluorescence bioassay. After the hybridization of pDNA with cDNA, the target DNA was successfully measured in optimum time of 2 min by spectrophotometric techniques. Moreover, the selectivity of designed bioassay was evaluated in the presence of two mismatch sequences and excellent differentiation was obtained. 1 Zepto-molar (zM) of low limit of quantification (LLOQ) was achieved by this genosensor. The present study paved the way for quick (2 min) and accurate detection of Acinetobacter baumannii , which can be a good alternative to the traditional methods. Current study proposed a novel and significant diagnostic test towards Acinetobacter baumannii detection based on silver nanoparticles aggregation which has the capability of being a good alternative to the traditional methods. Moreover, the proposed genosensor successfully could be applied for the detection of other pathogens.

“…[15][16][17] The coupling of electrochemical genosensors with microand nanoscale materials containing electrical conductivity has brought an additional sensitivity and selectivity to DNA sensing. [18][19][20] In the present study, silver-graphene quantum dots nanoparticles were used for the preparation of nano ink and applied as a new substrate for detection of DNA methylation by electroanalytical methods.…”

Visual monitoring and optical recognition of digoxin by functionalized AuNPs and triangular AgNPs as efficient optical nano‐probes

“…Therefore, a rapid, sensitive, and biocompatible strategy such as optical methods is needed. [9][10][11][12] The colorimetric methods are a simple alternative way to detect analysts in which the concentration of a chemical element or chemical compound is determined in a solution with the aid of a color reagent. The most prevalent reagents used in colorimetric methods are gold and silver nanoparticles.…”
