  • To achieve high-throughput and reliable detection of pathogenic bacteria in urine samples.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a multichannel sensor array with three types of antimicrobial agent-functionalized gold nanoclusters (AuNCs): vancomycin, lysozyme, and bacitracin.
  • Utilizing the differential fluorescence quenching of AuNCs by various bacterial species to generate unique fingerprints.
  • Testing the sensor array's ability to differentiate seven pathogenic bacteria, varying concentrations, and bacterial mixtures.

Main Results:

  • The sensor array successfully differentiated seven distinct pathogenic bacteria based on unique fluorescence quenching patterns.
  • Accurate identification of UTIs was achieved in approximately 30 minutes with 100% classification accuracy.
  • The system demonstrated capability in distinguishing different bacterial concentrations and complex bacterial mixtures.

Conclusions:

  • The developed multichannel sensor array offers a rapid, high-throughput, and reliable platform for UTI diagnosis.
  • Functionalized AuNCs provide a sensitive and specific method for bacterial identification.
  • This sensing system has the potential to significantly improve the clinical management of UTIs.
