    Abstract:
    The sensitive and efficient strategy remains a central challenge for early diagnosis of pathogenic bacteria. Herein, an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor was proposed based on the multiple amplification strategy via the 3D DNA walker, rolling circle amplification (RCA) and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) for the accurate detection of Escherichiacoli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7). Firstly, the target sequence extracted from E. coli O157:H7 was transformed and amplified by the DNA walker firstly. Subsequently, a large number of transformed nucleic acid sequences were amplified by the RCA reaction. And then, the progress of HCR was triggered by every fragment in RCA products to form a long double-stranded DNA sequence to immobilize electrochemical indicators, generating a significantly enhanced electrochemical signal. As expected, a high sensitivity with a detection limit of 7 CFU/mL was achieved based on the proposed multiple amplification strategy, which is superior to most current methods for E. coli O157: H7 assay. The multiple amplification strategy could be readily expanded for the detection of various pathogenic bacteria, providing a new approach for early diagnosis of pathogenic microorganisms or other diseases.
