Abstract In order to monitor and respond rapidly to outbreaks of food-borne pathogens, establishing rapid and sensitive detection methods is becoming increasingly urgent. In this work, through the synthesis of copper-based metal-organic framework nanoparticles (CuMOF NPs) and functionalized with aptamers, we developed a colorimetric protocol to detect Escherichia coli. In a typical experimental procedure, aptamer 1 was immobilized onto microplate to act as capture probes. Cu-MOF NPs were synthesized and functionalized with streptavidin and biotinylated aptamer 2 to form the signal probes. In the presence of E. coli, aptamers on both capture and signal probes bind with E. coli and form a sandwich-type complex. The Cu-MOF NPs enable to catalyze the colorless peroxidase substrate to yield a colorimetric output signal. This peroxidase-like mimics-based colorimetric aptasensor showed a rapid and sensitive quantification of E. coli in the concentration range of 16~1.6 × 106 cfu/mL with a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 16 cfu/mL and limit of detection (LOD) of 2 cfu/mL. The application of the developed assay for colorimetric measuring of milk samples was evaluated with satisfactory results. The developed Cu-MOF NPs-assisted visual method can be expected as a powerful alternative and promising tool for foodborne pathogen detection and control. Keywords Visual . E.coli . Aptamer .

Statistics Annuals reported that 2446 cases of foodborne disease outbreaks and produced 48,250 sickened people in China during the period of 2011–2016. Pathogenic Escherichia (E.) coli species such as E. coli O157:H7 accounts for a great majority of hospitalizations and deaths. Its toxicity results from enterotoxins, which can cause hemorrhagic enteritis with symptoms such as bloody diarrhea and hemolytic ure
