The Overall Need/Problem
Detection of Bioagents Intentional Dispersal by Terrorist
Domestic/Military Targets e.g. weaponized aerosols, contamination of water & food supplies
B. anthracis, Y. pestis, F. tularensis, C. botulinum A,P. hanta
Detection of Waterborne Pathogens Unintentional Water Contamination
Domestic/Military
Cryptosporidium, Giardia, V. cholerae, Campylobacter jejuni
Detection of Foodborne Pathogens Unintentional Food Contamination
Domestic/Military
Listeria monocytogenes, E. coli (O157:H7), Salmonella enterica
Detection of Clinical Pathogens Unintentional Spread of Infections
Domestic/Military Hospitals
S. aureus (MERSA), Tuberculosis, AIDs
BA spores almost perfect bioagent.
Most likely to be employed by terrorist :
right size so can be inhaled most lethal route.
RTA is developing complete package toaddress each of these application areas.

The Challenge & GoalDetect bioagents and pathogens
on surfaces, in aerosols, water, in biofluids, and food.(Category A agents 1st priority:Bacillus anthracis spores)
The device must provide the following:
Sensitivity: Detect 10,000 spores Anthrax LD50 ~10,000 spores (100 ng)
Speed: Within 15 minutes Specificity: Identify and discriminate pathogens
(No False Positives!)
Reproducibility: Accurate and Repeatable(No False Negatives!)
Current methods:
DNA or RNA enumeration: (Culture growth - 24 hours)
or Polymerase Chain Reactions (PCR, >4 hours)
Test kits (limited shelf life, very high false positive rate)

The Solution: SERSInherent specificity: all chemicals (drugs/metabolites) produce a unique
Raman spectrum allowing unequivocal identification (no false-positives).
Improved sensitivity: Ag and Au nanoparticle substrates used to generateSERS amplify Raman signals (increase scattering efficiency) by 1 million times
or more with potential detection at sub-ppb, i.e. 10-8 M (no false-negatives).

ALSO, chemical contribution
can provide additional 103
enhancement
Sub part-per-billion detection
becomes possible with SERS
SERS
provides
Single Molecule Detection
some argue this requires
enhancement factor (EF)
of 1012 -1014
Others say 105 -108
Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
Raman, although weak effect,
provides molecular specificity
BUT, when a molecule is within
a laser induced plasmon field,
the efficiency of Raman scattering
increases by 106 i.e. 1 million times!Sub part-per million detection possible

Peptide-Functionalized Silver Sol-gel
Ag nanoparticles immobilized within porous sol-gel in a glass capillary were successfully functionalized
with a short peptide that specifically bindsBacillus anthracis spores.
Peptide functionalization and spore binding are verified by SERS. The functionalized spectrum dominated by sulfur of the pep-cys-Ag bond (660 cm-1 ).

Goal is a 95% confidence level (bioagent concentration that can be detected 95% of time).
Determine K-value (indicates a statistically significant separation between a true and false response).
K > 3.29 meet Armys requirement (of 95% probability of detection & 5% probability of false alarm).
Since some non-specificity of other Bacillus spores with sol-gel,use of BC blank as opposed to water blank is more realistic!

Executive Summary
Proposed device (SERS analyzer/BA assay) provides the following:
Sensitivity: Detect < 10,000 BA spores (as low as 10 BA-S spores)
Speed: Less than 15 minutes (within 12 minutes)
Specificity: Identify and discriminate BA (against BC, BS, BM)(No False Positives!)
Reproducibility: Accurate and Repeatable (95% confidence 100 spores)(No False Negatives!)
Possible assay time = 8.5-min + 40-sec + 20-sec + 30-sec = 10-min!
Complete publication for BA assay (ames and sterne) pending (2012).
