METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING AND/OR QUANTIFYING BACTERIOPHAGES THAT CAN INFECT A PREDETERMINED BACTERIAL HOST STRAIN, USE OF A MICROELECTRONIC SENSOR DEVICE FOR DETECTING SAID BACTERIOPHAGES AND MICROELECTRONIC SENSOR DEVICE FOR IMPLEMENTING SAID METHOD

摘要

The method, system and device claimed are based on the measurement of changes in impedance arising on the interface of an electrode to which bacteria of a host strain for the bacteriophage to be detected have previously been made to adhere. The changes arising in said electrode/bacteria interface originate from the phagic activity of the bacteriophages on the bacteria adhering to the surface of the working electrode of a microelectronic sensor device.
