Phages differ substantially in the bacterial hosts that they infect. Their host range is
determined by the specific structures that they use to target bacterial cells. Tailed phages …

Microbial biosensor which integrates different types of microorganisms, such as bacteria,
microalgae, fungi, and virus have become suitable technologies to address limitations of …

The routinely used enzymes, antibodies, and nucleic acids-based biosensors for detection
of Staphylococcus aureus are often overwhelmed by limited selectivity, sensitivity, high cost …

Magnetic cell separation has become a key methodology for the isolation of target cell
populations from biological suspensions, covering a wide spectrum of applications from …

Foodborne pathogens have raised significant concerns in human public health. Rapid, high-
sensitive, low-cost, and easy-to-use testing methods for food safety are needed. In this study …

Foodborne pathogens contamination is one of the main sources of food safety problems.
Although the existing detection methods have been developed for a long time, the …

Magnetic nanobeads have been widely used for magnetic separation, target labeling and
signal amplification in the development of various biosensors. This review summarized (1) …

The emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens is becoming increasingly problematic in the
treatment of bacterial diseases. This has led to bacteriophages receiving increased attention …

Highlights•Bacteriophages bring new quality and opportunities in bacterial detection.•
Amplification of phages and release of bacterial content can be analytical signals.•Phages …

Bacteriophages infect and replicate inside a bacterial host as well as serve as natural bio-
control agents. Phages were once viewed as nuisances that caused fermentation failures …
