An electrochemical immunosensor for the common food pathogen Escherichia coil O157:H7 was developed. This novel immunosensor based on the PPy/AuNP/MWCNT/Chi hybrid bionanocomposite modified pencil graphite electrode (PGE). This hybrid bionanocomposite platform was modified with anti-E. coli O157:H7 monoclonal antibody. The prepared bionanocomposite platform and immunosensor was characterized by using cyclic voltammetry (CV). Under the optimum conditions, the results have shown the order of the preferential selectivity of the method is gram negative pathogenic species E. coil O157:H7. Concentrations of E. coli O157:H7 from 3 x 10(1) to 3 x 10(7) cfu/mL could be detected. The detection limit was similar to 30 cfu/mL in PBS buffer. Briefly, we developed a high sensitive electrochemical immunosensor for specific detection of E. coli O157:H7 contamination with the use of sandwich assay evaluated in this study offered a reliable means of quantification of the bacteria. For the applications in food quality and safety control, our immunosensor showed reproducibility and stability. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
