Biosensors are of great significance because of their capability to resolve a potentially large
number of analytical problems and challenges in very diverse areas such as defense …

Effective pathogen detection is an essential prerequisite for the prevention and treatment of
infectious diseases. Despite recent advances in biosensors, infectious diseases remain a …

Dielectrophoresis, the induced motion of polarisable particles in a nonuniform electric field,
has been proven as a versatile mechanism to transport, accumulate, separate and …

Probiotic bacteria reduce the intestinal colonization of pathogens. Yet, their use in
preventing fatal infection caused by foodborne Listeria monocytogenes (Lm), is inconsistent …

This article reviews existing methods for the isolation, fractionation, or capture of rare cells in
microfluidic devices. Rare cell capture devices face the challenge of maintaining the …

Infections caused by various known and emerging pathogenic microorganisms, including
antibiotic-resistant strains, are a major threat to global health and well-being. This highlights …

The multidisciplinary field of micro total analysis systems (μTAS) also called “lab-on-a-chip”
has enormously expanded in the last 2 years. By cross referencing online keyword searches …

Listeria monocytogenes is one of the most invasive foodborne pathogens and is responsible
for numerous outbreaks worldwide. Most of the methods to detect this bacterium in food …

With the aim of getting earlier, sensitive and specific information on the presence–or
absence–of bacterial pathogens, biosensors are getting an increasing interest for more than …

Real-time chemical imaging of bacterial activities can facilitate a comprehensive
understanding of the dynamics of biofilm structures and functions. Synchrotron-radiation …
