Popis: Consumption of food contaminated by Listeria monocytogenes can result in Listeriosis, an illness with hospitalization rates of 94% and mortality rates up to 30%. As a result, U.S. regulatory agencies governing food safety retain zero-tolerance policies for L. monocytogenes. However, detection at such low concentrations often requires strategies such as increasing sample size or culture enrichment. A novel flow-through immunoelectrochemical biosensor has been developed for Escherichia coli O157:H7 detection in 1 L volumes without enrichment. The current work further augments this biosensor’s capabilities to (1) include detection of L. monocytogenes and (2) accommodate genetic detection to help overcome limitations based upon antibody availability and address specificity errors in phenotypic assays. Herein, the conjugation scheme for oligo attachment and the conditions necessary for genetic detection are laid forth while results of the present study demonstrate the sensor’s ability to distinguish L. monocytogenes DNA from L. innocua with a limit of detection of ~2 × 104 cells/mL, which agrees with prior studies. Total time for this assay can be constrained to
