Foodborne bacterial infection poses a serious threat to human health. As most diseases are caused by living bacteria, real-time assessment of bacterial viability is vitally important to the public health sector. Herein, we developed a simple and novel colorimetric assay based on the Glucose oxidase (GOD)/Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) bienzyme system for real-time monitoring of bacterial viability in food and drinking water. This bienzyme system is free of any chemical synthesis and only requires 3 sample handling steps. The color response is easily observable with the naked eye or recordable with a smartphone for precise determination of bacterial viability. The proposed strategy was validated with various bacteria both Gram-positive and Gram-negative, indicating its capability for broad-spectrum bacteria viability detection. Therefore, the proposed strategy shows promise for rapid and reliable quality control in food and drinking water.
