Abstract
⺠We developed novel quantum dot (QD)-labeled antibody reporters for E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella. ⺠The developed crosslinked QD-antibody conjugates were strong and cost efficient. ⺠The bead-free cell isolation method employed improved the limit of detection. ⺠When applied to ground beef, levels as low as 10 CFU of pathogens per gram of artificially inoculated ground beef could be detected after a 24-h enrichment.
