Point-of-care detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in water using AuNPs-based aptasensor
Objective(s): Access to safe drinking and irrigation water has always been one of the major human concerns worldwide. Thus, rapid, sensitive, and inexpensive approaches for pathogenic bacteria detection, such as Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EHEC) that can induce important infectious diseases, are highly on demand. Materials and Methods: In ...
متن کاملPoint-of-Care Laboratory of Pathogen Diagnosis in Rural Senegal
BACKGROUND In tropical Africa, where the spectrum of the bacterial pathogens that cause fevers is poorly understood and molecular-based diagnostic laboratories are rare, the time lag between test results and patient care is a critical point for treatment of disease. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We implemented POC laboratory in rural Senegal to resolve the time lag between test results and p...
متن کاملA modular yeast biosensor for low-cost point-of-care pathogen detection
The availability of simple, specific, and inexpensive on-site detection methods is of key importance for deployment of pathogen surveillance networks. We developed a nontechnical and highly specific colorimetric assay for detection of pathogen-derived peptides based on Saccharomyces cerevisiae-a genetically tractable model organism and household product. Integrating G protein-coupled receptors ...
متن کاملAcinetobacter spp. - an emerging pathogen in neonatal septicemia in Amritsar.
Septicaemia remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the newborns in the developing countries. According to National Neonatal Perinatal Database (2000) in India, the incidence of neonatal septicemia is 24/1000 live births. Changing bacterial flora and emergence of resistant strains further aggravate the problem. Acinetobacter spp. have emerged as important nosocomial pathogens....
متن کاملBiofunctional organic nanocrystals for quantitative detection of pathogen deoxyribonucleic acid.
Advances in nanotechnology have had significant impacts in the field of biodiagnostics. In this study, we describe the novel application of dissolvable, organic and biofunctional nanocrystals for the quantitative detection of a PCR product. Fluorescein diacetate (FDA), a fluorogenic precursor of fluorescein, was milled in a solution of a polymeric surfactant to create a stable, nanosized colloi...
