Two-step resonance-energy-transfer-based ratiometric biosensor for sensing and annihilation of Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract

A two-step resonance energy transfer (RET)-based fluorescence/electrochemiluminescence (FL/ECL) biosensor was developed for ratiometric measurement and annihilation of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Using coupled dual-recognition-triggered target conversion with the catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) technique, the monitoring of S. aureus was obtained at the single-cell level.
