Description
Fast, cheap tests for dangerous bacteria remain a clinical need. Gunes Kibar and co-authors build a biosensor for Streptococcus pneumoniae, a major cause of pneumonia. The sensor rests on hybrid nanoparticles made in five minutes by a green light-driven method. Magnetic iron oxide and a sticky bio-inspired coating are added in layers. DNA probes sit on the surface and break only when the target bacterium's nuclease enzyme is present. That break produces an electric signal, and a magnet handles the particles.
The test detected the bacterium down to 100 colony-forming units per milliliter. It ignored non-target bacteria. The authors pitch the platform as a rapid, amplification-free diagnostic.
