The foodborne pathogens usually exist within complex
biological matrixes, and the separation and enrichment
of the target pathogens are crucial steps for accurate
detection. Current pathogen detection method are time
consuming and lack detection sensitivity.

Main Objective
Establish the applicability of Cd-based QDs and Zn-based NPs
as a rapid method for bacteria detection using Fluorescence
Spectrometry as the analysis instrumentation for the real-time
pathogenic bacterial detection.
Specific Objectives:
Determine the optimal parameters conditions to the enhancement
of the detection limit of pathogen species in presence of selected
QDs.
Establish a relation between bacteria concentration and
fluorescence intensity peak spectra of Cd-based and Zn-based
QDs with Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes and
Staphylococcus aureus.
Assess the applicability of Cd-based QDs and Zn-based NPs as
optical sensors for detection of pathogens with detection limit
about 102 CFU/mL. 10

The combination band 4200 cm-1 corresponds to CH2 and the one
around 5100 cm-1 suggested the presence of RCO2R functional group.
The presence of a weak band at 5760 cm-1 can be assigned to the first 16
