Abstract
We report on the development of an autonomously reporting indicator hydrogel for the rapid and selective detection of enzymes secreted by the food-borne biosafety level 3 pathogen enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 (EHEC) and the differentiation of this pathogen from the non-virulent E. coli strain K12. To introduce the sensing functionality, chitosan hydrogel films were equipped with fluorogenic substrates for the detection of...
