Microfabricated Electrochemical Sensor for Early Detection of P. aeruginosa Infection
- Technology Benefits
- The device:ΓÇóAllows for a faster and a real-time monitoring of P. aeruginosaΓÇóIs highly compact, allowing for a convenient placement into areas unsuitable for larger systemsΓÇóIs completely isolated and avoids all unwanted environmental effects including contaminationsΓÇóCan be used for early detection of P. aeruginosa in breathing tubes, bandages and other areas where there is rusk of infection

- *Abstract
-
Early detection of bacteria, such as P. aeruginosa, is critical in preventing serious infections in patient. Currently available devices are too big to be used in places such as ventilator tubes and bandages. Moreover, alternative available techniques such as PCR are used only for confirmation of the presence of infection. These techniques do not provide early notification of the infection or of the causative agent. This approach discloses the development and use of a novel micro-fabricated electrochemical sensor device for an early detection of P. aeruginosa infection.
