Advanced Materials for Pathogenie Bacterial Sensing

Abstract

Bacterial detection has attracted tremendous interests owing to its importance in biology, medical care, drug discovery, and public health. For such applications, bacterial cellimprinting technologies are regarded as potential methods, as they can create artificial tailor-made receptors for target cell recognition. In comparison to conventional methods, which generally require a few days for bacterial determination, cell-imprinted polymers can save a substantial amount of time. In this work, we applied the molecular imprinted polymer technique to form an artificial receptor for bacterial cells and fabricated two kinds of sensing materials: cell-imprinted microsphere and cell-imprinted 96-well microplate.
