A chimeric protein, in which a cationic antimicrobial peptide was fused to the adhesive self-assembling moiety of fungal class I hydrophobin, produced and used easily functionalize gold nanoparticles (f-AuNPs). f-AuNPs are able bind Escherichia coli Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria, tested as model organisms. reverse colorimetric assay then set up based on induced aggregation free f-AuNPs. This leads changes optical properties solution, visible even by naked eyes. approach allows detection 10 CFU mL-1 E. within 15 min can be applicable detect bacterial contamination real matrices. Notably, variation combined machine-learning methodologies inferring data from photos colored solutions, acquired smartphones. fast, highly practical flexible system, would enable on-site measurements and, therefore, help prevent significant contaminations.

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Апрель 30, 2024

The applicability of nanomaterials has evolved in biomedical domains thanks to advances biocompatibility strategies and the mitigation cytotoxic effects, allowing diagnostics, imaging, therapeutic approaches. application nanoparticles (NP), particularly metal (mNPs), such as gold (Au) silver (Ag), includes inherent challenges related material characteristics, surface modification, bioconjugation techniques. By tailoring properties through appropriate coating with biocompatible molecules or functionalization active biomolecules, researchers can reach a harmonious interaction biological systems samples (mostly fluids tissues). Thus, this review highlights mechanisms associated obtention mNP presents comprehensive overview methods that facilitate safe efficient production. Therefore, we consider be valuable resource for all navigating dynamic field.
