Three in one: A multifunctional oxidase-mimicking ag/Mn3O4 nanozyme for colorimetric determination, precise identification, and broad-spectrum inactivation of foodborne pathogenic bacteria
A multifunctional oxidase-mimicking Ag/Mn 3 O 4 was prepared, catalyzing the 3, 3′, 5, 5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) chromogenic reaction. Six foodborne pathogenic bacteria species, including Escherichia coli , Staphylococcus aureus , Salmonella enterica , Listeria monocytogenes , Bacillus cereus , and Cronobacter sakazakii , were observed to differentially inhibit its oxidase-like activity, resulting in decelerating the TMB chromogenic reaction. Owing to these properties, the following achievements were achieved: colorimetric determination of these bacteria with high sensitivity can be achieved using Ag/Mn 3 O 4 + TMB reaction system; precise identification of these bacteria at different concentrations, including individual bacterium, binary mixtures, and even multivariate mixtures, can be effectively realized by combining the Ag/Mn 3 O 4 -based colorimetric sensor array with principal component analysis (PCA); broad-spectrum inactivation of these bacteria can be remarkably realized through catalyzation of Ag/Mn 3 O 4 to generate superoxide anion free radicals. Therefore, our proposed Ag/Mn 3 O 4 holds significant application potential in the colorimetric determination, precise identification, and broad-spectrum inactivation of foodborne pathogenic bacteria.
