Abstract:
The diagnosis of bloodstream infections presents numerous challenges, in part, due to the low concentration of pathogens present in the peripheral bloodstream. As an alternative to existing time-consuming, culture-based diagnostic methods for organism identification, microfluidic devices have emerged as rapid, high-throughput and integrated platforms for bacterial and fungal enrichment, detection, and characterization. This focused review serves to highlight and compare the emerging microfluidic platforms designed for the isolation of sepsis-causing pathogens from blood and suggest important areas for future research.
