Carbon dot (CD) nanozymes with excellent biocompatibility, optical properties, and catalytic activity show great promise for microbial detection drug sensitivity testing. This study reports the synthesis of metal-doped green-emitting CDs good peroxidase-like activity, which were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal route using thiourea, N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine, catechol as starting materials FeCl3 doping agent. In presence H2O2, catalyze oxidation 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), producing blue product; however, in bacteria bacterial catalase enzyme decomposes H2O2 inhibits CDs, preventing color change. The neutralizes prevents from color-changing reaction TMB. Based on CDs-TMB-H2O2 cascade system bioenzymes nanozymes, we developed rapid, sensitive, direct colorimetric method Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) limit 2 × 103 CFU/mL linear range 103-2 106 CFU/mL. visual was successfully applied to S. food samples. Antibiotics have different effects proliferation sensitive resistant strains, leading levels hydrolysis solution resulting varying intensities color; therefore, simple antibiotic susceptibility test. applications CD provide powerful tool detecting pathogenic food, clinical, environmental samples infections.
