New aptamer/SERS biosensors for antibiotics in water
The abuse of antibiotics has caused many drug-resistance problems due to the development of resistance in bacteria. Monitoring the concentration of antibiotics in water is important for managing the problem of drug-resistant bacteria. While analytical instrumentation based methods such as mass spectrometry are available, they are expensive with a long turnaround time. This project aims to develop highly sensitive and selective biosensors for the detection of the main antibiotics currently prescribed including tetracycline, ampicillin and chloramphenicol.
