A sensor based on mesoporous carbon materials immobilized with sortase A (SrtA) for determination ofStaphylococcus aureus(S. aureus) is reported. To prepare the biosensor, we first synthesized carboxyl-functionalized mesoporous hollow carbon spheres, then applied them as carriers for immobilization of SrtA. Based on the catalytic mechanism of SrtA, a highly sensitive, inexpensive, and rapid method was developed forS. aureusdetection. The sensor showed a linear response in the bacterial concentration range of 0.125 × 102colony-forming units (CFU) mL−1to 2.5 × 102CFU mL−1, with detection limit as low as 9.0 CFU mL−1. The method was successfully used for quantitative detection ofS. aureusin whole milk samples, giving results similar to experimental results obtained from the plate counting method. This biosensor could also be used to detect other Gram-positive bacteria that secrete SrtA.
