| Abstract: |
| Conventional methods for detecting bacteria usually require a laboratory and skilled technicians, which may take several hours or days. However, recent advances in various fields of science and engineering have led to a major change in the way microorganisms are identified. Analytical sensors can be used for rapid and in situ monitoring of bacterial pathogens in food, water, and the environment. This paper discusses analytical methods, biosensors, and electrical tongue technology that can be used to ensure food safety, water quality, and environmental monitoring. In summary, most of our discussion focuses on various rapid sensors including electrotonic, biosensors, microfluidic chips, and nanomaterial-based biosensors. Analytical functions such as sensitivity, specificity, and usability of these sensors, as well as a brief comparison with conventional methods for bacterial detection, form the main part of the discussion. Furthermore, we provide a comprehensive perspective on how future research should focus on exploring the synergy of different sensing technologies with the development of multiple sensors that enable rapid detection. |
