    Abstract:
    A sandwich immunoassay was developed for determination of E. coli O157:H7. This is based on an antimicrobial peptide-mediated nanocomposite pair and uses a personal glucose meter as signal readout. The antimicrobial peptides, magainins I, and cecropin P1 were employed as recognition molecules for the nanocomposite pair, respectively. With a one-step process, copper phosphate nanocomposites embedded by magainins I and Fe3O4 were used as "capturing" probes for bacterial magnetic isolation, and calcium phosphate nanocomplexes composed of cecropin P1 and invertase were used as signal tags. After magnetic separation, the invertase of the signal tags hydrolyzed sucrose to glucose, thereby converting E. coli O157:H7 levels to glucose levels. This latter can be quantified by a personal glucose meter. Under optimal conditions, the concentration of E. coli O157:H7 can be determined in a linear range of 10 to 107 CFU·mL-1 with a detection limit of 10 CFU·mL-1. The method was successfully applied to the determination of E. coli O157:H7 in milk samples. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of sandwich immunoassay for E. coli O157:H7. One-pot synthetic of Fe3O4-magainins I nanocomposites (MMP) were used for magnetic capture. Cecropin P1-invertase nanocomposites (PIP) were used as signal tags. A personal glucose meter was used as readout to determine the target.
