Title: Recent advances in bacteriophage-based methods for bacteria detection
Abstract: Fast and reliable bacteria detection is crucial for lowering the burden related to bacterial infections (e.g., in industry or security). Bacteriophages (i.e., viruses with hosts) pose advantages such as great specificity, robustness, and cheap preparation, making them popular biorecognition in biosensors and other assays for bacteria detection. There several possible designs of bacteriophage-based biosensors. Here, we on developments based on whole virions as recognition agents. We the review into sections dealing with phage lysis as an signal, phages as capturing elements in assays and sensing layers, putting the main focus on development within the past three years but without omitting the fundamentals.
