A Wireless CMOS Device for Rapid Point-of-Care Diagnosis of Bacterial Infections and Antibiotic Susceptibility Profiling
EF 2013-14
Résumé
The Canadian Foundation for Infectious Diseases estimates that 25% of all physician visits are related to infectious diseases and result in a total cost of >$12billion annually for treatment and lost productivity. We have developed a disposable microchip that is able to identify and type live bacteria in less than ten minutes with no bacterial culturing steps required. This technology combines the specificity of viruses (phages) that infect and kill bacteria with the sensitivity of integrated electronic circuits to create a low-cost, portable detection system. The system can also be used to allow rapid antibiotic susceptibility profiling that would provide positive antibiotic stewardship.
