Watch online : Listening to the Confessions Made by Bacteria via Nanotechnology
This public lecture describes the invention and fabrication of a type sensor made of silver nanoparticle array that facilitates the detection of the ‘vibrational spectrum’ (‘sound’) of molecules released from bacteria. Such ‘sound from bacteria’ can be exploited to differentiate bacteria species and conduct antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) of bacteria from the blood samples of sepsis patients. Early AST reports can help doctors choose the most appropriate antibiotic to save patients and reduce the abuse of antibiotics, which could lead to the creation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria strains.
