| Popis: | This paper describes a simple strategy to identify bacteria using the optical properties of the nanohybrid structures (NHs) of polymer-coated metal nanoparticles (NPs). NHs, in which many small NPs are encapsulated in polyaniline particles, are useful optical labels because they produce strong scattered light. The light-scattering characteristics of NHs are strongly dependent on the constituent metal elements of NPs. Gold NHs (AuNHs), silver NHs (AgNHs), and copper NHs (CuNHs) produce white, reddish, and bluish scattered light, respectively. Moreover, unlike NPs, the color of the scattered light does not change even when NHs are aggregated. Introducing an antibody into NHs induces antigen-specific binding to cells, enabling the identification of bacteria based on light scattering. Multiple bacterial species adsorbed on the slide can be identified within a single field of view under a dark field microscope based on the color of the scattered light. Therefore, it is a useful development for safety risk assessments at manufacturing sites, such as those for foods, beverages, and drugs, and environmental surveys that require rapid detection of multiple bacteria. |
