“…Previously, colony immunoblotting technique was evaluated for the specific detection and enumeration of Citrobacter freundii in sterilized or unsterilized carrier media in commercial products (Kecskés et al, 2009). Today, the sensitivity of microbial identification and enumeration in a sample is improved by next generation sequencing Technique (Abbasian et al, 2018). However, the analysis in Table 1 shows that it is currently difficult to find a technique that meets all the desired criteria, i.e., reliable, rapid, inexpensive, and relatively easy to use.…”

The production of biofertilizers at industrial level is a bottleneck because bacterial strains are generally developed and managed by research laboratories and not by production units. A seamless transition from laboratory to field application is, therefore necessary. This review provides an overview of the constraints that limiting the application or the implementation of Actinobacteria based biofertilizers especially in agricultural field and suggests solutions to overcome some of these limits. General processes of making and controlling the quality of the inoculum are briefly described. In addition, the paper underlines the opportunity of biofertilizers alone or in combination with chemical fertilizers. This review also, highlights the latest studies (until June 2019) and focuses on P-solubilization microorganisms mainly Actinobacteria. The biotechnology of these bacteria is a glimmer of hope for rock phosphate (RP) bioformulation. Since direct application of RP fertilizer is not always agronomically effective due to its sparse solubility.

“…Several review articles have been written covering the advances and trends in biosensors for the detection of pathogens and other contaminants (e.g., toxins, antibiotics), in food products of animal origin (Bahadir and Sezgintürk, 2017; Gaudin, 2017; Vanegas et al, 2017; Vidic et al, 2017; Abbasian et al, 2018; Neethirajan et al, 2018). Milk, mostly as a food-product, is referred as one of the target samples and is the basis of several proof-of-concept applications for many devices under development.…”

Bovine mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland caused by a multitude of pathogens with devastating consequences for the dairy industry. Global annual losses are estimated to be around €30 bn and are caused by significant milk losses, poor milk quality, culling of chronically infected animals, and occasional deaths. Moreover, mastitis management routinely implies the administration of antibiotics to treat and prevent the disease which poses serious risks regarding the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Conventional diagnostic methods based on somatic cell counts (SCC) and plate-culture techniques are accurate in identifying the disease, the respective infectious agents and antibiotic resistant phenotypes. However, pressure exists to develop less lengthy approaches, capable of providing on-site information concerning the infection, and in this way, guide, and hasten the most adequate treatment. Biosensors are analytical tools that convert the presence of biological compounds into an electric signal. Benefitting from high signal-to-noise ratios and fast response times, when properly tuned, they can detect the presence of specific cells and cell markers with high sensitivity. In combination with microfluidics, they provide the means for development of automated and portable diagnostic devices. Still, while biosensors are growing at a fast pace in human diagnostics, applications for the veterinary market, and specifically, for the diagnosis of mastitis remain limited. This review highlights current approaches for mastitis diagnosis and describes the latest outcomes in biosensors and lab-on-chip devices with the potential to become real alternatives to standard practices. Focus is given to those technologies that, in a near future, will enable for an on-farm diagnosis of mastitis.

“…[102] While these elements usually are discussed together, as exemplified in some recent publications, [4,33,45,61] we prefer to highlight some of the most commonly employed key biorecognition elements in this review. [4,37,61,103]…”

Recent insights into the rapidly emerging field of bacterial sensing and biofilm monitoring for infection diagnostics are discussed as well as recent key developments and emerging technologies in the field. Electrochemical sensing of bacteria and bacterial biofilm via synthetic, natural, and engineered recognition, as well as direct redox-sensing approaches via algorithmbased optical sensing, and tailor-made optotracing technology are discussed. These technologies are highlighted to answer the very critical question: "how can fast and accurate bacterial sensing and biofilm monitoring be achieved? Following on from that: "how can these different sensing concepts be translated for use in infection diagnostics? A central obstacle to this transformation is the absence of direct and fast analysis methods that provide high-throughput results and bio-interfaces that can control and regulate the means of communication between biological and electronic systems. Here, the overall progress made to date in building such translational efforts at the level of an individual bacterial cell to a bacterial community is discussed.
