Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University Reports Findings in Biosensors (CRISPR/Cas-based colorimetric biosensors: a promising tool for the diagnosis of bacterial foodborne pathogens in food products).

A report from Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University in Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia discusses the use of CRISPR/Cas-based colorimetric biosensors as a promising tool for diagnosing bacterial foodborne pathogens in food products. The researchers highlight the importance of rapid detection of these pathogens, which can cause severe health impacts and even death. They explain that colorimetric nanoprobes based on the CRISPR strategy offer a potential solution, as they can be visualized with the naked eye and do not require diagnostic apparatus. The report provides an overview of the different CRISPR/Cas protein agents used in biosensors and discusses the current status and limitations of this technology. The researchers also address the challenges and future opportunities in this field. [Extracted from the article]
