Abstract
Recently, the authors have developed and demonstrated a novel sensing technology, named SEPTIC (SEnsing of Phage-Triggered Ion Cascades), for the rapid, inexpensive and specific identification of bacteria. The method combines the specificity and fast response of the bacteriophage (“phages”; viruses that specifically detect and kill bacteria) with the sensitivity of the nano-scale fluctuation-enhanced sensing.
