Meat, with its abundant nutrients and high water activity, constitutes an ideal niche for S. aureus colonization. Numerous studies have shown that human digestive tract diseases caused by consuming meat products contaminated with S. aureus occur frequently. It is of great significance to strictly monitor S. aureus in meat matrices. A novel biosensor employing dual-signal output was developed through the combination of efficient magnetic separation and dual-modal precise detection. Designed for the rapid enrichment of S. aureus, it significantly boosts detection sensitivity and accuracy, thereby enabling the earlier identification of potential contamination sources. This method uses vancomycin-modified magnetic beads as the capture element, and aptamer-modified nanozymes as the signal element. After magnetic separation, the 3,3\u2032,5,5\u2032-tetramethylbenzidine color reaction can be used to quickly and sensitively detect S. aureus. It achieved a detection limit as low as 10 cfu\/mL. Moreover, this dual-signal sensor based on efficient magnetic separation can sensitively detect S. aureus in meat products, thus showing good application prospects in food matrices and further improving the reliability and specificity of detection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bios16080403","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,24]],"date-time":"2026-07-24T13:53:26Z","timestamp":1784901206000},"page":"403","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Superparamagnetic Platform Enhanced with Metal-Modified Carbon Dots for Rapid Dual-Modal Detection of Staphylococcus aureus"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Hongzhou","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Food Science and Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mengyu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Food Science and Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weichao","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Food Science and Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Food Science and Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chuanfu","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Food Science and Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Food Science and Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuwei","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Food Science and Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8862-6889","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yingwang","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Food Science and Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Baocai","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Food Science and Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9676-0829","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kezhou","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Food Science and Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Plumet, L., Ahmad-Mansour, N., Dunyach-Remy, C., Kissa, K., Sotto, A., Lavigne, J.-P., Costechareyre, D., and Molle, V.
