New diagnostic methods such as LED fluorescence microscopy, Genexpert, Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) are limited on efficacy spectrum owing to their high cost, time-intensive and laborious nature, in addition their low sensitivity hinders their robustness and portability. Electroanalytical methods are now being considered as an excellent alternative, being currently employed for efficient detection of the analytes with the potential of being portable. This report suggests label-free electrochemical detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) via its marker, insertion sequence (IS6110).Methods: In this pursuit, graphene oxide-chitosan nanocomposite (GO-CHI), a biocompatible matrix, having a large electroactive area with an overall positively charged surface, is fabricated and characterized. The obtained GO-CHI nanocomposite is then immobilized on the ITO surface to form a positively functionalized electrochemical sensor for the detection of Mtb. DNA probe, specific for the IS6110, was electrostatically anchored on a positively charged electrode surface and the resistance of charge transfer was investigated for the sensitive and specific (complementary vs non-complementary) detection of Mtb by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry techniques.Results: The cyclic voltammetry was found to be diffusion controlled facilitating the absorption of analyte on the electrode surface. The label-free “genosensor” was found to detect a hybridization efficiency with a limit of detection of 3.4 pM, and correlation coefficient R2=0.99 when analysed over a range of concentrations of DNA from 7.86 pM to 94.3pM. The genosensor was also able to detect target DNA from raw sputum samples of clinical isolates without DNA purification.Conclusion: This electrochemical genosensor provides high sensitivity and specificity; thus offering a promising platform for clinical diagnosis of TB and other infectious diseases in general.Keywords: label-free detection, DNA genosensor, Mycobacterium detection, tuberculosis, graphene oxide nanocomposites, GO nanocomposites electrochemical sensingJaved AAbbas SRHashmi MUBabar NUAHussain IDove Medical Pressarticlelabel-free detectiondna genosensormycobacterium detectiontuberculosisgraphene oxide (go) nanocompositeselectrochemical sensingMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 16, Pp 7339-7352 (2021)
