Abstract

The detection of Rhamnolipid virulence factor produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa involved in nosocomial infections is reported by using the redox liposome single impact electrochemistry. Redox liposomes based on 1,2‐dimyristoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine as a pure phospholipid and potassium ferrocyanide as an encapsulated redox content are designed for using the interaction of the target toxin with the lipid membrane as a sensing strategy. The electrochemical sensing principle is based on the weakening of the liposomes lipid membrane upon interaction with Rhamnolipid toxin which leads upon impact at an ultramicroelectrode to the breakdown of the liposomes and the release/electrolysis of its encapsulated redox probe. We present as a proof of concept the sensitive and fast sensing of a submicromolar concentration of Rhamnolipid which is detected after less than 30 minutes of incubation with the liposomes, by the appearing of current spikes in the chronoamperometry measurement.

  • RL is a glycolipidic biosurfactant secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a pathogenic Gram-negative bacterium involved in nosocomial infections.

    “RL is a glycolipidic biosurfactant secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.aeruginosa), pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria involved in nosocomial infections [17].”

    From Trends in single-impact electrochemistry for bacteria analysis (2023) · cites this paper as [17]

    The Abstract states that Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretes the glycolipidic biosurfactant rhamnolipid and is involved in nosocomial infections. It also describes the bacterium as pathogenic, but our copy does not identify it as Gram-negative; that part of the attributed claim is unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The detection principle of the redox liposome proof of concept is based on RL-induced weakening of the liposome lipid membrane, leading to liposome breakdown upon impact at a UME and release/electrolysis of the encapsulated redox probe.

    “The detection principle in this proof of concept is based on the weakening of the liposomes' lipid membrane caused by the interaction with RL, which leads to the breakdown of the liposomes upon impact at a UME , and the release/electrolysis of its encapsulated redox probe (Fig. 4, right) [17].”

    From Trends in single-impact electrochemistry for bacteria analysis (2023) · cites this paper as [17]

    The discussion around Figure 2 (labelled Abstract in our copy; page not supplied) says RL weakens the liposome membrane and that current spikes suggest breakdown during impact at a Pt UME, with probable release of the encapsulated redox content. The passage labelled Equation 1 describes breakdown and/or release and electrolysis, rather than establishing that both breakdown and release necessarily occur at each impact. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • An original and recent approach is to detect virulence factors released by pathogenic bacteria rather than the cells themselves, based on redox liposomes single-impact electrochemistry.

    “Also, an original and recent approach is to detect the virulence factors released by pathogenic bacteria rather than the cells themselves, based on redox liposomes single-impact electrochemistry [17].”
  • A recent proof of concept has demonstrated highly-sensitive detection of a bacterial virulence factor using redox liposomes single-impact electrochemistry.

    “Following an original and innovative strategy, a recent proof of concept presented in the next section has demonstrated the highly-sensitive detection of a bacterial virulence factor thanks to the redox liposomes single-impact electrochemistry [17].”
  • Detection of a sub-micromolar concentration of Rhamnolipid (RL) virulence factor by electrochemical single impacts of redox liposomes is reported.

    “In this last section, the detection of a sub-micromolar concentration of Rhamnolipid (RL) virulence factor by electrochemical single impacts of redox liposomes is reported (Fig. 4) [17].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
