Developing a simple and highly sensitive approach for Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( P. aeruginosa ) detection is crucial, as it is closely associated with various disorders, such as newborn infections. Nevertheless, few of techniques have the capability to accurately identify P. aeruginosa with a high level of sensitivity and significantly improved stability. The employment of the both-end blocked peroxidase-mimicking DNAzyme significantly diminished the interferences from background signals, so conferring the approach with a high degree of selectivity and reproducibility. The proposed method is demonstrated with exceptional discernment capacity in differentiating interfering microorganisms. The simplicity, elevated sensitivity and high discerning capability make the method a highly promising alternative instrument for pathogenic bacteria detection.
