Abstract

A multifunctional platform that meets the demands of both bacterial detection and elimination is urgently needed because of their harm to human health. Herein, a "sense-and-treat" biosensor was developed by using immunomagnetic beads (IMBs) and AgPt nanoparticle-decorated PCN-223-Fe (AgPt/PCN-223-Fe, PCN stands for porous coordination network) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The synthesized AgPt/PCN-223-Fe not only exhibited excellent peroxidase-like activity but also could efficiently kill bacteria under near infrared (NIR) irradiation. This biosensor enabled the colorimetric detection of E. coli O157:H7 in the range of 103-108 CFU/mL with a limit of detection of 276 CFU/mL, accompanied with high selectivity, good reproducibility, and wide applicability in diverse real samples. Furthermore, the biosensor possessed a highly effective antibacterial rate of 99.94% against E. coli O157:H7 under 808 nm light irradiation for 20 min. This strategy can provide a reference for the design of novel versatile biosensors for bacterial discrimination and antibacterial applications.
