“…Novel methodologies for Brucella detection and identification are still limited since most methods detect the bacteria indirectly using label‐dependent biosensors (Fu‐Chun, De‐Si, Zhong, Shu‐Zhen, & Ya‐Fei, ; Liebes, Amir, Marks, & Banai, ; Wu et al, ) or sensors that require sample pretreatment (Pal et al, ; Rahi, Sattarahmady, & Heli, ). Sensitivity of the immunoassays depends on the immobilization of the antibody on a solid support of sufficient surface density in an orientation that maximizes their antigen capture capability (Holford, Davis, & Higson, ; Moina & Ybarra, ). The use of protein A extracted from Staphylococcus aureus (SpA) has been used to increase the efficiency of recognition site detection of soluble antigens (Tan et al, ; Trilling, Beekwilder, & Zuilhof, ; Yoon, ).…”
