Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bacteria and their toxins pose threats to multiple aspects including humans, animals, environment, and ecology. High-sensitivity, rapid, and high-throughput detection of bacteria and their toxins is essential for food safety risk identification, clinical diagnosis, and ecological monitoring. Traditional detection methods based on biochemical identification, immunology, and PCR have problems such as long detection time, low sensitivity, and complex pretreatment. Biosensors have advantages such as high sensitivity, rapid response, high specificity, and portability in detecting bacteria and their toxins, and have broad application prospects.
