“…Preventive measures help to reduce the chances of getting food-borne Salmonellosis [48]. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published guidelines for the Food Safety and Inspection Service to control measures for all stages of the food chain, from agricultural production to food preparation at home [52]. Recently, there has been an increased interest in Salmonella biosensors, primarily in combination with nanomaterials, for detecting Salmonella in water and food.…”

Epidemiological surveillance is a critical tool to monitor the population's health and facilitate the prevention and control of infectious disease outbreaks. Bacterial infections are well known as one of the leading causes of global infection-related morbidity and mortality. Our study summarizes the number of bacterial infectious diseases in Saudi Arabia, along with an overview and recent advances in treatment or prevention modalities against these reported bacterial infections. This study only covers the reported bacterial infectious diseases in the Saudi Monthly Epidemiology Reports between 2018 and 2021. The results revealed that brucellosis, tuberculosis and salmonellosis were the most frequently reported bacterial infectious diseases in Saudi Arabia. Generally, males were more affected by bacterial infections than females. There was a variation in the distribution of bacterial infectious diseases between Saudi and non-Saudi citizens. Brucellosis and Salmonellosis infections were more common among Saudi citizens, while Tuberculosis was more common in non-Saudis. Interestingly, there was a decline in the incidence rates of numerous bacterial infectious diseases during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and COVID-19 restrictions. However, this decline in the incidence rates might be a result of underreporting during the national lockdown. Some bacterial infectious diseases were rarely reported in Saudi Arabia, including Syphilis, Diphtheria, and Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Women diagnosed with late‐stage ovarian cancer suffer a very high rate of mortality. Accordingly, it is imperative to detect and diagnose the disease as early as possible in its development. Achievement of this aim implies relatively large‐scale screening of women at an age of clinical significance through assay of biomarkers for disease present in blood or serum. Biosensor detection offers an attractive technology for the automated detection of such species. Among several biomarkers that have been identified that are present in patients with ovarian cancer, the only one that is commonly tested for in clinical use is cancer antigen 125, which is considered to be a poor biomarker for the disease. Here, we describe several biosensors that developed in the past decade for the detection of ovarian cancer biomarkers such as CA125, human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) and apolipoprotein A1. The challenges presented by the fabrication of biosensor devices for detecting ovarian cancer and the limited number of biosensors developed for this purpose are discussed.
