Timely detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is critical because it can multiply to disease−causing levels in a matter of hours. Herein, a simple and sensitive DNA tetrahedral (Td) fluorescence signal amplifier with blue carbon quantum dots (bCDs) was prepared for sandwich detection of S. aureus. bCD was modified at the apex of Td, and an aptamer on Td was used to accurately identify and “adsorb” the amplifier to the surface of S. aureus. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) demonstrates the successful preparation of this signal amplifier. The fluorescence intensity emitted in this strategy increased 4.72 times. The strategy showed a stronger fluorescence intensity change, sensitivity (linear range of 7.22 × 100–1.44  × 109 CFU/mL with a LOD of 4 CFU/mL), and selectivity. The recovery rate in qualified pasteurized milk and drinking water samples was 96.54% to 104.72%. Compared with simple aptamer sandwich detection, these fluorescence signal amplifiers have improved fluorescence detection of S. aureus. Additionally, this fluorescent signal amplification strategy may be applied to the detection of other food pathogens or environmental microorganisms in the future.
