“…Thus, bacterial sensors have been characterised based on their transducer properties, which include surface plasmon resonance (SPR), amperometric, potentiometric, and acoustic wave sensors [184]. These sensors have been independently reviewed in Zourob, Elwary and Turner (2008) [185] in individual chapters, including SPR [186], Evanescent Wave-based Fluorescent biosensors [187], Fiber Optic biosensors [188], Integrated Deep-Probe Optical Waveguides [189], Interferometric biosensors [190], Luminescence sensors [191], Porous and planar silicon sensors [192], Acoustic wave biosensors [193], Amperometric biosensors [194], Field Effect Transistors [195], Impedance-based sensors [196], Molecular Nanowire transducer-based sensors [197], Magnetic sensors [198], Cantilever sensors [199], Raman spectroscopy [200], and others.…”

Aims:The aim of this review is to present Rickettsioses sensu lato, with emphasis on their current and future clinical diagnosis. The review presents the conditions, the agents that cause them, and the current gold standards on their diagnosis in national and international reference centres. Additionally, this review covers the various emerging technologies available in the diagnosis of Rickettsioses and discusses their potential for future use as gold standards in the diagnosis of these diseases. Introduction: The introduction presents Rickettsioses sensu lato and gives a broad overview of the conditions they cause, the issues associated with their current diagnosis and the need for their improved, earlier and more accurate diagnosis, in order to prevent current issues with false negatives, misdiagnosis or delay in the diagnosis associated with these conditions, which often renders them grave or lethal. Main Body: The main body of the review presents in independent sections Rickettsias, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Bartonella and Coxiella and the conditions associated with each of these bacteria. Spotted fever, endemic typhus, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, human monocytic ehrlichioses, bartonellosis and Q-fever are some of the conditions associated with this group of proteobacteria. The emphasis is on the clinical diagnosis of these conditions and an overview of the current practice, gold standards in reference
