New Biosensor Detects Bacteria Biomarker in CF Patients’ Sputum Samples, U.K. Study Shows
A research team at Imperial College London (ICL) has developed a quick, cheap method to detect the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in sputum samples collected from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Using small engineered DNA circuits called cell-free biosensors, the method reveals molecules specifically produced by P. aeruginosa. When…
