Abstract

A simple, highly sensitive method was developed to detect Salmonella typhimurium using 100-nm antibody- and horseradish peroxidase-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles (Ab-HRP-MNPs). The particles bound bacteria, while unbound particles were removed by filtration. The number of bacteria was determined based on the intensity of light emitted from the chemiluminescence reaction catalysed by bacterium-bound peroxidase in the filter. The light intensity was proportional to the cells in the range of 0–104 colony forming units (CFU), with a lower detection limit of 10 CFU.
