Here, a fluorescence immunoassay that can achieve high-throughput detection of three Gram-positive foodborne pathogenic bacteria simultaneously was proposed. Vancomycin and bovine serum albumin conjugate (Van-BSA) was immobilized on a polycarbonate chip to capture three Gram-positive foodborne pathogenic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) and Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes). CdSe/ZnS quantum dot modified antibodies (Ab-QD) were prepared by carbodiimide coupling chemistry. Due to the affinity reaction between antibodies and proteins on the bacterial surface, the simultaneous detection of multiple Gram-positive bacteria was achieved by monitoring the fluorescence signal of quantum dot by a portable microfluidic chip analyzer. Under optimal conditions, low detection limits was 18 CFU/well, 3 CFU/well and 36 CFU/well for S. aureus, B. cereus and L. monocytogenes, respectively. With satisfactory accuracy and precision, the proposed fluorescence immunoassay holds good prospects to detect pathogens in real food samples.
