Detecting metabolic activities of bacteria using a simple carbon nanotube device for high-throughput screening of anti-bacterial drugs
In this contribution, we demonstrate a simple carbon nanotube device to electrically detect the presence of bacteria (Escherichai coli) with high sensitivity (<100 cfu/mL) and the glucose triggered metabolic activities of bacteria in real-time. As proof-of-concept demonstration, we...

Summary: | In this contribution, we demonstrate a simple carbon nanotube device to electrically detect the presence
of bacteria (Escherichai coli) with high sensitivity (<100 cfu/mL) and the glucose triggered metabolic activities
of bacteria in real-time. As proof-of-concept demonstration, we also show that this nanoelectronic
approach can be employed for high-throughput screening of anti-bacterial drugs. |
