Pathogenic Bacteria Detection: A Hierarchical 3D Nanostructured Microfluidic Device for Sensitive Detection of Pathogenic Bacteria (Small 35/2018)

In article number 1801893, Sara Mahshid and co-workers develop a nanostructured fluidic device for sensitive analysis of pathogenic bacteria based on a hierarchical nano/micro-islands detection platform enabling direct, rapid, and quantifiable detection of bacteria. Performance of the integrated device in probe-free optical detection of pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli and optoimmunocapturing of antibiotic resistant bacteria such as methicillin-resistant-Staphylococcus-aureus shows promise in future point-of-care devices.
