Pathogenic infection is one of the most widespread foodborne diseases, so the development of sensitive, reliable and easy operating detection tests is a key issue for food safety. Identifying bacteria with a fluorescent medium is more sensitive and faster than using chromogenic media. This study designed and synthesized a -galactosidase-activatable fluorescent probe BOD-Gal for the sensitive detection of . It employed a biocompatible and photostable 4,4-difluoro-3a,4a-diaza-s-indancene (BODIPY) as the fluorophore to form a --glycosidic bond with galactose, allowing the BOD-Gal to show significant on-off fluorescent signals for in vitro and in vivo bacterial detection. This work shows the potential for the use of a BODIPY based enzyme substrate for pathogen detection.
致病性感染是最广泛的食源性疾病之一,因此开发敏感、可靠和易于操作的检测试验是食品安全的关键问题。使用荧光培养基比使用显色培养基鉴定细菌更敏感、更快。本研究设计并合成了一种β-半乳糖苷酶激活型荧光探针 BOD-Gal,用于灵敏检测。它采用了生物相容性和光稳定性好的 4,4-二氟-3a,4a-二氮杂-s-茚满(BODIPY)作为荧光团,与半乳糖形成 --糖苷键,使 BOD-Gal 能够在体外和体内细菌检测中显示出显著的开-关荧光信号。这项工作表明,基于 BODIPY 的酶底物在病原体检测方面具有应用潜力。
