研究目的
To develop rapid and reliable sensor arrays based on tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivatives for the detection and discrimination of pathogens, including normal and drug-resistant bacteria, with high accuracy.
研究成果
The developed sensor arrays based on TPE-AIEgens successfully identified various pathogens, including drug-resistant strains, with high accuracy. The method is rapid, simple, and does not require washing steps, making it suitable for clinical applications.
研究不足
The study focuses on a limited number of pathogens and may require validation with a broader range of clinical samples. The sensor arrays' performance in complex biological matrices was not extensively evaluated.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
The study designed sensor arrays using TPE-based AIEgens with cationic ammonium groups and different hydrophobic substitutions to enable multivalent interactions with pathogens. The fluorescence response patterns were analyzed using linear discriminant analysis (LDA).
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
Seven microorganisms were used, including Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and fungi. Fluorescence intensities were recorded using a microplate reader.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
Materials included TPE derivatives, pathogens (S. aureus, E. faecalis, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, C. albicans), and solvents (DMSO, PBS). Equipment included a microplate reader, confocal laser scanning microscopy, and dynamic light scattering (DLS).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
Pathogens were incubated with TPE-ARs solutions, and fluorescence intensities were recorded. The process involved shaking, incubation, and fluorescence measurement without washing steps.
5:Data Analysis Methods
Fluorescence response patterns were analyzed using LDA for pathogen identification. The relative fluorescence intensities before and after incubation with pathogens were calculated.
