Background
Salmonella is a pathogenic genus that poses a major threat to human health by causing food borne infections. More than 2000 serotypes have been identified. Among them, salmonella typhimurium is a major serotype, which is closely related to the occurrence of human food-borne diseases due to its high virulence. Salmonella typhimurium is transmitted through contaminated foods and through the oral and fecal pathways to infect healthy people and cause secondary infections. Salmonella cannot be detected in food such as milk powder, cheese and the like according to the regulations of the disease control center in China. Therefore, in order to ensure food safety, a stable, sensitive and specific salmonella typhimurium detection method is needed.
The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a technology for detecting salmonella typhimurium based on the basic principle of specific antigen-antibody binding reaction, the detection concentration of salmonella typhimurium is determined by the intensity of a chromogenic reaction formed by the oxidation catalysis of a labeled natural enzyme by a substrate, and the reaction determines the stability and sensitivity of detection. However, these natural enzymes have three disadvantages of (1) being mainly composed of proteins produced by living cells, which are complicated in preparation process, (2) high in cost of extraction equipment, which results in an increase in price, and (3) poor stability, which requires strict storage conditions. Thus, nanoezymes have been investigated as viable alternatives to natural enzymes.
The nano-enzyme is a nano-material with catalytic activity similar to that of natural enzyme, and has the advantages of easy purification, high cost efficiency, high stability, strong environment restoration capability and the like. Most nanoenzymes are typically prepared using large amounts of expensive precious metals, such as pure platinum nanoenzymes, gold platinum nanoenzymes, etc., which are expensive. Part of the nano-enzymes are prepared from Fe 3O4 materials, but the preparation time is long, the procedure is complex, the catalytic effect of the nano-enzymes is limited, and the detection application of the nano-enzymes is limited. The cobalt-platinum nano-alloy pseudoenzyme (CoPtNPs) consists of a cobalt core and a platinum shell, the cobalt cost is lower, and the catalytic efficiency is obviously higher than that of the biotinylated peroxidase (HRP). Therefore, there is an urgent need to establish a method for detecting salmonella typhimurium based on the immunoadsorption technology (NLISA) of CoPtNPs materials.
