Ag NP-filter paper based SERS sensor coupled with multivariate analysis for rapid identification of bacteria
Rapid and accurate identification of bacteria is essential to ensure food safety and prevent pathogenic bacterial infection. In this study, a highly efficient method was established for accurately identifying bacterial species by applying Ag NP-filter paper based Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) analysis and Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) statistical methods. The flexible Ag NP filter paper substrate with high sensitivity and uniformity was prepared by a facile and low-cost silver mirror reaction at room temperature, which exhibited desirable SERS activity in bacteria detection. Furthermore, PLS-DA was successfully employed to distinguish SERS spectra from S. aureus CMCC 26003, E. faecalis ATCC29212 and L. monocytogenes ATCC 19115 with a sensitivity of 93.3–100%, specificity of 96.7–97%, and overall predicting accuracy of 95.8%. This exploratory study demonstrates that a Ag NP-filter paper based SERS sensor coupled with PLS-DA has great potential for rapid and effective detection and identification of bacteria.
