چکیده	Development of sensitive and selective analytical method for accurate diagnosis of Acinetobacter baumannii (Ab) bacteria in biological samples is a challenge. Herein, we developed an ingenious ratiometric fluorescent aptasensor for sensitive and selective detection of (Ab) bacteria based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between ortho-phenylenediamines carbon dot (o-CD), nitrogen-doped carbon nanodots (NCND) as donor’s species and graphene oxide (GO) as acceptor. NCND that assembled onto the edge of graphene oxide (GO) exhibited quenched photoluminescence emission, and with the absorption of the modified o-CD with aptamer (o- CD-ssDNA) onto the graphene oxide surface the fluorescence of o-CD was efficiently quenched. The aptamer (ssDNA) as a biorecognition element is bound with A. baumannii specifically which releases the o-CD-ssDNA from GO and the recovery of the fluorescence signal of o-CD, while the fluorescence intensity of NCND only slightly altered and acted as the reference signal in ratiometric fluorescence assay. The fluorescence intensity ratio (I550 nm/I440nm) varied from 2.0 to 10.0 with the concentration of bacteria changing from 2.0 × 103 to 4.5 × 107 cfu/mL and the low detection limit of 3.0 × 102 cfu/mL (S/N = 3). The feasibility of the developed aptasensor for selective detection of A. baumannii in urine sample with satisfactory results was also demonstrated.
