Fluorescent on-site detection of multiple pathogens using smartphone-based portable device with paper-based isothermal amplification chip.

ABSTRACT: The development of cost-effective, portable, and ease-of-use sensing system for on-site genetic diagnostics is highly desirable for pathogen screening and infectious disease diagnosis. This study develops (1) a paper-based biochip which is able to integrate the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) protocols for simultaneous detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., and Staphylococcus aureus, and (2) a stand-alone smartphone-based portable device which can control exactly 65 °C for isothermal amplification as well as collect and analyze the thus generated fluorescence signals. The reported sensing system has been successfully demonstrated for foodborne pathogen detection with a limit of detection of 2.8 × 10^-5 ng μL^-1. Spiked milk samples with concentration as low as 10 CFU mL^-1 were successfully determined within 4 h, demonstrating the practicality of the reported sensing system in the fields. The reported sensing system featuring simplicity and reliability is ideally suited for genetic diagnostics in low resource settings.

Project description:Campylobacter jejuni is recognized as the most common species in the genus Campylobacter that causes foodborne diseases. The main reservoirs harboring C. jejuni are poultry products, which are associated with most illnesses, creating a demand for effective detection methods to achieve point-of-need diagnostics. We developed an easy-to-use, hybrid paper/polymer-based microfluidic device that integrates paper-based DNA extraction, isothermal nucleic acid amplification, and lateral flow detection. Overall, the recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) reaction was completed in 20 min and demonstrated 100% specificity to C. jejuni, including 2 reference strains and 6 wild strains isolated from the agroecosystem, 9 other Campylobacter subspecies strains, and 11 non-Campylobacter strains. The limit of detection (LOD) was 46 CFU/mL with DNA extracted on the cellulose paper. The sensitivity was reduced to 460 CFU/mL on the integrated hybrid paper/polymer-based microfluidic device. This device could detect C. jejuni spiked at concentrations ranging from 101 to 102 CFU/g in chicken meat after an enrichment of 5 to 10 h. For C. jejuni levels of >102 CFU/g, it managed to confirm positive results immediately, without bacterial enrichment. RPA reagents and primers remained stable on the paper platform at 22°C for 12 h. After lyophilization and storage on paper, the RPA reaction showed consistent sensitivity for 3 days, and the LOD was reduced to 103 CFU/mL when storage was extended to 25 days. The use of this hybrid paper/polymer-based microfluidic device enabled detection of Campylobacter in foods with high specificity and sensitivity, demonstrating its potential as a reliable point-of-need diagnostic platform for on-site conditions due to its low cost, portability, and simplicity. IMPORTANCE The global health and economic burden of Campylobacter prompts the development of novel detection techniques that can be implemented in resource-limited and on-site settings. This study described point-of-need identification of C. jejuni using a hybrid paper/polymer-based microfluidic device that is easy to operate. This device had high specificity and sensitivity toward C. jejuni and significantly reduced the total analysis time compared to conventional culture-based methods. Nucleic acid extraction was simplified from intensive pipetting to a paper dipstick, making it more convenient for use in the field as a promising tool for future routine surveillance and outbreak investigation.
