Abstract
Bacterial biofilms are structured communities of microorganisms that play a critical role in various industries and healthcare settings, contributing to chronic infections and biofouling issues. Understanding the metabolites produced by bacterial biofilms is of paramount importance to detect their growth patterns, virulence, and responses to treatment strategies. Electrochemical detection has emerged as a powerful and versatile tool for real-time, label-free, and sensitive analysis of bacterial biofilm metabolites. This review paper investigates recent breakthroughs in the field of electrochemical detection, focusing on the principles, methodologies, and applications of this cutting-edge technology. It includes a comprehensive examination of electrochemical sensors and their various modifications, designed to enhance sensitivity and specificity. Finally, the paper emphasisesing the potential for novel electrochemical techniques and their integration into clinical and industrial settings.
期刊介绍:
The development of the Current Opinion journals stemmed from the acknowledgment of the growing challenge for specialists to stay abreast of the expanding volume of information within their field. In Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, they help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:
1.The views of experts on current advances in electrochemistry in a clear and readable form.
2.Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
In the realm of electrochemistry, the subject is divided into 12 themed sections, with each section undergoing an annual review cycle:
• Bioelectrochemistry • Electrocatalysis • Electrochemical Materials and Engineering • Energy Storage: Batteries and Supercapacitors • Energy Transformation • Environmental Electrochemistry • Fundamental & Theoretical Electrochemistry • Innovative Methods in Electrochemistry • Organic & Molecular Electrochemistry • Physical & Nano-Electrochemistry • Sensors & Bio-sensors •
