Magnetosome-anti-Salmonella antibody complex based biosensor for the detection of Salmonella typhimurium.

Epidemic Salmonellosis contracted through the consumption of contaminated food substances is a global concern. Thus, simple and effective diagnostic methods are needed. Magnetosome-based biosensors are gaining attention because of their promising features. Here, we developed a biosensor employing a magnetosome-anti-Salmonella antibody complex to detect lipopolysaccharide (somatic "O" antigen) and Salmonella typhimurium in real samples. Magnetosome was extracted from Magnetospirillum sp. RJS1 and characterized by microscopy. The magnetosome samples (1 and 2 mg/mL) were directly conjugated to anti-Salmonella antibody (0.8-200 μg/mL) and confirmed by spectroscopy and zeta potential. The concentrations of magnetosome, antibody and lipopolysaccharide were optimized by ELISA. The 2 mg/mL-0.8 μg/mL magnetosome-antibody complex was optimal for detecting lipopolysaccharide (0.001 μg/mL). Our assay is a cost-effective (60%) and sensitive (50%) method in detection of lipopolysaccharide. The optimized magnetosome-antibody complex was applied to an electrode surface and stabilized using an external magnetic field. Increased resistance confirmed the detection of lipopolysaccharide (at 0.001-0.1 μg/mL) using impedance spectroscopy. Significantly, the R
