Abstract:: The rapid detection of hazardous bacteria is important for healthcare situations, where such identification can lead to substantial gains for patient treatment and recovery and a reduced usage of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Potential biosensors must be able to provide a fast, sensitive and selective response with as little sample preparation as possible. Indeed, some of these pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus, can be yet harmful at very low concentrations in the blood stream, e.g., below 10 colony for… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
