Fluorogenic DNAzyme Probes as Bacterial Indicators

摘要

The prevalence of food-borne pathogens, emergence of drug-resistant bacteria and viruses, and threat of bioterrorism are amongst the most pressing concerns of our time. The early detection of pathogens is a crucial step in preventing large-scale outbreaks, and is particularly important today as globalization of commerce and shorter journey times have significantly increased the rate and breadth of the spread of infectious agents.
