Escherichia coli O157:H7 ( E. coli O157:H7) is a dangerous foodborne pathogen, mainly found in beef, milk, fruits, and their products, causing harm to human health or even death. Therefore, the detection of E. coli O157:H7 in food is particularly important. In this paper, we report a lateral flow immunoassay strip (LFIS) based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE) material labeling antigen as a fluorescent probe for the rapid detection of E. coli O157:H7. The detection sensitivity of the strip is 105 CFU/mL, which is 10 times higher than that of the colloidal gold test strip. This method has good specificity and stability and can be used to detect about 250 CFU of E. coli O157:H7 successfully in 25 g or 25 mL of beef, jelly, and milk. AIE-LFIS might be valuable in monitoring food pathogens for rapid detection.

Bloodstream infection (BSI) is a major cause of mortality in hospitalized patients worldwide. Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common pathogens found in BSI. The conventional workflow is time consuming. Therefore, we developed a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) for rapid detection of S. aureus-protein A in positive blood culture samples. A total of 90 clinical isolates including 58 S. aureus and 32 non-S. aureus were spiked in simulated blood samples. The antigens were extracted by a simple boiling method and diluted before being tested using the developed LFIA strips. The results were readable by naked eye within 15 min. The sensitivity of the developed LFIA was 87.9% (51/58) and the specificity was 93.8% (30/32). When bacterial colonies were used in the test, the LFIA provided higher sensitivity and specificity (94.8% and 100%, respectively). The detection limit of the LFIA was 107 CFU/mL. Initial evaluation of the LFIA in 20 positive blood culture bottles from hospitals showed 95% agreement with the routine methods. The LFIA is a rapid, simple and highly sensitive method. No sophisticated equipment is required. It has potential for routine detection particularly in low resource settings, contributing an early diagnosis that facilitates effective treatment and reduces disease progression.

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VREs) have become one of the most important nosocomial pathogens worldwide, associated with increased treatment costs, prolonged hospital stays and high mortality. Rapid detection is crucial to reduce their spread and prevent infections and outbreaks. The lateral flow immunoassay NG-Test VanB (NG Biotech) was evaluated for the rapid detection of VanB-producing vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VanB-VREs) using 104 well-characterized enterococcal isolates. The sensitivity and specificity were both 100% when bacterial cells were grown in the presence of vancomycin used as a VanB inducer. The NG-Test VanB is an efficient, rapid and easy to implement assay in clinical microbiology laboratories for the confirmation of VanB-VREs from colonies. Together with the NG-Test VanA, they could replace the already existing tests available for the confirmation of acquired vancomycin resistance in enterococci, especially from selective media or from antibiograms, with 100% sensitivity and specificity. Rapid detection in less than 15 min will result in more efficient management of carriers and infected patients. In addition, these tests may be used for positive blood cultures, given a 3.5 h sub-culturing step on Chocolate agar PolyViteX in the presence of a 5-µg vancomycin disk, which is routinely performed in many clinical microbiology laboratories for every positive blood culture for subsequent MALDI-TOF identification of the growing bacteria.
