Construction of a Colorimetric and Fluorescence Dual-Mode Immunoassay Detection of Alpha-Hemolysin in Milk

Alpha-hemolysin (Hla) is a major virulence factor secreted by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), which can lyse a variety of mammalian cells and help bacteria evade the host immune system or antibiotics, posing a safety hazard to human health. Therefore, it is critical to establish a quick-responsive and sensitive method for Hla detection to ensure food safety. In this work, a dual-mode immunoassay was developed with both colorimetric and fluorescent readouts for discriminative detection of Hla. The proposed sensing system consists of p-phenylenediamine (PPD) and fluorescein, where fluorescein functions as a fluorescent reporter, and PPD serves a dual function as a colorimetric reporter and fluorescence quencher. Subsequently, the reaction system of this method was optimized, and the detection limit, sensitivity, and specificity were evaluated. Under optimal conditions, the proposed method possesses excellent analytical performance in the range from 0.5 to 500 ng/mL with a limit of detection as low as 0.5 ng/mL. Noteworthy, this method was successfully employed for the detection of Hla in milk with good selectivity and high accuracy. Overall, the dual-mode immunoassay provides a superior platform for the on-site, quantitative, and accurate detection of Hla in food samples.
