Popis: A fluorescent aptasensor for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is designed, which takes advantage of strand displacement amplification (SDA) technology and unique self-assembled DNA hexagonal structure. In the presence of S. aureus, a partially complementary strand of S. aureus aptamer (cDNA) is competitively released from cDNA/aptamer duplex immobilized on magnetic beads due to the affinity of the aptamer for S. aureus. The addition of primer starts the SDA reaction. With the catalysis of Bsm DNA polymerase and Nb.bpu10I endonuclease, a large number of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) is produced, which induces the opening of a hairpin probe and the subsequent self-assembly to form a hexagonal structure. The staining of the DNA hexagon with SYBR Green I excites the fluorescence signal, which is used for detection. The aptasensor exhibits a broad linear range from 7 to 7 × 107 CFU/mL, with a detection limit of 1.7 CFU/mL for S. aureus. The sensor shows negligible responses to other bacteria. Moreover, the aptasensor has been applied to detect S. aureus in milk samples, and the results demonstrate the general applicability of the sensor and its prospect in systematic detection of S. aureus in food safety control and medicine-related fields.
