Demonstration of a tailorable and PCR-free detection of Enterococcus DNA isolated from soil samples

Abstract

Bacteria detection is crucial for water and environmental monitoring.

Developing a toll-like receptor biosensor for Gram-positive bacterial detection and its storage strategies

“…20 While DNA bacteria sensors offer flexibility in targeting genetic sequences in the cells, it requires additional steps to lyse the cell and make the DNA targets available for biosensors. 21 Antibody and antimicrobial peptide-based biosensors, which are highly specific, can detect cells without lysis steps. 22 Kraatz et al have shown how a ferrocene moiety could be used in constructing a label-free electrochemical sensor for detecting E. coli O157:H7 cells down to 10 3 CFU/mL.…”
