Microbial Biosensors

88
Microbial biosensors are analytical devices that utilize living microbes to detect specific substances through measurable signals. These devices consist of two main components: biosensing organisms and signal-transducing elements. Biosensing organisms, such as Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are typically housed in multiwell plates connected to transducers, enabling rapid, real-time detection of target analytes.Signal Generation MechanismWhen a target analyte—such as...

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Nanotechnology
  • Infectious Disease Diagnostics

Background:

  • Accurate and rapid diagnostics are crucial for managing infectious diseases like SARS-CoV-2.
  • Existing methods like RT-PCR can be time-consuming and require specialized facilities.
  • A need exists for point-of-care (POC) devices that can assess both viral presence and infectiousness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a graphene field-effect transistor (gFET) biosensor for dual detection of SARS-CoV-2.
  • To assess viral RNA for positivity and nucleocapsid (N-)protein as a proxy for infectiousness.
  • To evaluate the gFET biosensor's potential as a POC device for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis and infectivity assessment.

Main Methods:

  • A gFET biosensor was engineered to detect both viral RNA (targeting the E-gene) and SARS-CoV-2 N-protein using specific antibodies.
  • Clinical nasopharyngeal swab samples (n=213) were tested for SARS-CoV-2 RNA and correlated with RT-PCR cycle threshold values.
  • N-protein detection was assessed for its limit of detection (LOD) and correlation with virus culture results (n=16).

Main Results:

  • The gFET biosensor demonstrated high sensitivity in detecting SARS-CoV-2 RNA, correlating well with RT-PCR values.
  • Specificity was confirmed against pre-pandemic samples containing other respiratory viruses.
  • The N-protein assay achieved an LOD of 0.9 pM and showed strong correlation with virus culture, indicating infectiousness.

Conclusions:

  • The gFET biosensor offers a sensitive and rapid method for diagnosing SARS-CoV-2 infection.
  • Dual detection of RNA and N-protein provides a comprehensive assessment of viral presence and infectiousness.
  • This technology holds promise as a POC device for improved clinical and public health decision-making during pandemics.
