Current Status and Future Prospects on Staphylococcus aureus detection based on biosensors
Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) is one of the most serious infectious pathogens,which has potential threat to human health.Therefore,rapid and precise detection of S.aureus is of great impor-tance.Traditional S.aureus detection methods inevitably suffer from disadvantages such as time-consuming,money-cost and requirement of professional complex operations.In order to save time and cost,using a portable device for rapid,sensitive and specific detection of S.aureus is the trend in the future.In the recent years,many methods based on biosensors have been employed for S.aureus identification owing to the advantages of quick and on-site detection.Electrochemical,optical-based and mass-based biosensors have been proposed for S.au-reus detection and summarized in this paper.The development directions of these biosensors are forecasted.
