It was determined through a fluorescence assay that the selected aptamers had high binding ability and specificity to this pathogen. The dissociation constant of these aptamers were up to nanomolar range, and aptamer Apt22 with the lowest Kd (47 \u00b1 3 nM) was used in cell imaging experiments. To detect this bacteria with high specificity and cost-efficiently, a novel useful detection method was also constructed based on the noncovalent  self-assembly of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and DNAzyme-labeled aptamer  detection probes. The amounts of target bacteria could be quantified by exploiting chemoluminescence intensity changes at 420 nm and the detection limit of the method was 103 cfu\/mL. This study demonstrated the applicability of Salmonella specific aptamers  and their potential for use in the detection of Salmonella in food, clinical and environmental samples.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s130506865","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,22]],"date-time":"2013-05-22T12:45:12Z","timestamp":1369226712000},"page":"6865-6881","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":107,"title":["Highly Specific and Cost-Efficient Detection of Salmonella Paratyphi A Combining Aptamers with Single-Walled  Carbon Nanotubes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Ming","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Co-Construction Laboratory of Microbial Molecular Biology of Province Department and Ministry of Science and Technology, College of Life Sciences, Hunan Normal University,  Changsha 410081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhihui","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Co-Construction Laboratory of Microbial Molecular Biology of Province Department and Ministry of Science and Technology, College of Life Sciences, Hunan Normal University,  Changsha 410081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Ning","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Co-Construction Laboratory of Microbial Molecular Biology of Province Department and Ministry of Science and Technology, College of Life Sciences, Hunan Normal University,  Changsha 410081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yongzhe","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Co-Construction Laboratory of Microbial Molecular Biology of Province Department and Ministry of Science and Technology, College of Life Sciences, Hunan Normal University,  Changsha 410081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qin","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Co-Construction Laboratory of Microbial Molecular Biology of Province Department and Ministry of Science and Technology, College of Life Sciences, Hunan Normal University,  Changsha 410081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Le","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Co-Construction Laboratory of Microbial Molecular Biology of Province Department and Ministry of Science and Technology, College of Life Sciences, Hunan Normal University,  Changsha 410081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"79","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mimet.2012.01.014","article-title":"Development of RNA aptamers for detection of Salmonella Enteritidis","volume":"89","author":"Hyeon","year":"2012","journal-title":"J.
