Versatile Electrochemical Sensing Platform for Bacteria

Bacterial infections present one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, resulting in an urgent need for sensitive, selective, cost-efficient, and easy-to-handle technologies to rapidly detect contaminations and infections with pathogens. The presented research reports a fully functional chemical-detection principle, addressing all of the above-mentioned requirements for a successful biosensing device. With the examples of Escherichia coli...
