Recent progress in the genotyping of bovine tuberculosis and its rapid diagnosis via nanoparticle-based electrochemical biosensors

Abstract

Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is considered a worldwide infectious zoonotic disease. Mycobacterium bovis causes bTB disease.

Carbohydrate polymer-supported metal and metal oxide nanoparticles for constructing electrochemical sensors

“…4,37,38 They have been extensively used for detecting different types of substances such as drugs, sweat ions, bioactive molecules, pesticides, dyes, mycotoxins, and heavy metals. 8,[39][40][41][42][43] Basically, electrochemical sensors convert chemical reactions of the targeted substances into electrical impulses with variations in potential, current, impedance, and conductivity. 44 These variations are used as electrochemical signals to investigate the composition and/or concentration of the targeted substances.…”

Advances in the fabrication of potential nanomaterials for diagnosis and effective treatment of tuberculosis

“…TB is primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis , which is a type of bacteria that can be identified as either Gram-positive or Gram-negative on a gram stain. 6 Several clinical approaches have reported the diagnosis of TB, encompassing culture of the tracheal aspirate, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), gastric washings, chest X-ray, and skin examination. 7…”
