▎ 摘　　要

A rapid and sensitive electrochemical biosensor was constructed to detect Salmonella using invA gene biosensor. The biosensing was based on polyrrole-reduced graphene oxide (PPy-rGO) nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and signal amplification with horseradish peroxidase-streptavidin biofunctionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs-HRP-SA). PPy-rGO was prepared at 60 degrees C by chemical reduction of PPy-functionalized graphene oxide (PPy-GO) that was synthesized by in situ polymerization at room temperature. The detection signal was amplified via enzymatic reduction of H2O2 in the presence of hydroquinone (HQ) using AuNPs-HRP-SA as nanotag. Under optimal conditions, the differential pulse voltametric (DPV) signal from the biosensor was linearly related to the logarithm of target invA gene concentrations from 1.0 x 10(-16) to 1.0 x 10(-10) M, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 4.7 x 10(-17) M. The biosensor can also detect Salmonella in the range of 9.6 to 9.6 x 10(4) CFU mL(-1), with LOD of 8.07 CFU mL(-1). The biosensor showed good regeneration ability, acceptable selectivity, repeatability and stability, which bode well as an alternative method for Salmonella screening. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
