Lack of potable water is a global challenge today, on the other hand, pathogenic bacteria cause Read More pollution of water resources and cause diseases and in many cases, death. Therefore, quick, accurate, and timely identification of this pathogenic factor is very important. Nowadays, biosensors have received much attention due to their simplicity, high speed, and inexpensive, and they have a promising perspective for controlling water quality and maintaining public health.
