Abstrakt: In this work, aptamers against E. coliwith better performance were obtained viacell systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (cell-SELEX) and dissociation constants (Kd) of aptamers were estimated to range from 133.87 to 199.44 nM. Furthermore, the selected aptamer was employed for label-free colorimetric detection of E. coliusing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with peroxidase-like activity to catalyze the oxidation of tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce color development. This colorimetric apta-assay started with an aptamer–bacteria binding step, and the concentration of residual aptamers after binding depended on the amount of target bacteria. Then, the amount of separated residual aptamers determined the degree of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-inhibited catalytic activity of AuNPs, which resulted in a color change from dark blue to light blue. Owing to the excellent peroxidase activity of AuNPs, they could emit strong visible color intensity in less than 1 minute to improve visual detection sensitivity. Under optimized conditions, the sensitivity of detection was 5 × 103CFU mL−1visually and 75 CFU mL−1using the UV-vis spectrum with a linear range from 5 × 102to 1 × 106CFU mL−1. And it had shown a good recovery rate in real samples of water, juice and milk compared with classical counting methods.
