Gold Nanorod Probes for the Detection of Multiple Pathogens

Abstract

Multiple pathogenic detection: A simple, sensitive, and inexpensive multiplex pathogen detection scheme, based on novel gold nanorod bioprobes, is developed to detect <102 cfu mL−1 of pathogens. This method sets the stage for the first demonstration of LSPR sensors using gold nanorods with different aspect ratios to detect multiple pathogens, specifically and sensitively.
