Biomimetic sensing of Escherichia coli at the solid-liquid interface: From surface-imprinted polymer synthesis toward real sample sensing in food safety

The incorporation of imprinted polymers (IP) into sensing devices has enabled the detection of a wide range of analytes going from molecules to whole cells. Biomimetic platforms for bacteria recognition possess the potential of being a low-cost and on-site testing technology for applications in food safety, where the accurate detection of pathogens is crucial for preventing disease. This work presents the optimization of a label-free thermal...
