Recent progress in nanomaterial-based sensing of airborne viral and bacterial pathogens
Graphical abstract Display Omitted
Highlights The use of nanosensors toward airborne pathogens is described based on various principles. The review first describes common airborne pathogens and their associated diseases. The merits of nanosensors are assessed in terms of stability, specificity, and sensitivity. The challenges associated with such detection are addressed in the context of future development.
Abstract Airborne pathogens are small microbes that can cause a multitude of diseases (e.g., the common cold, flu, asthma, anthrax, tuberculosis, botulism, and pneumonia). As pathogens are transmitted from infected hosts via a number of routes (e.g., aerosolization, sneezing, and coughing), there is a great demand to accurately monitor their presence and behavior. Despite such need, conventional detection methods (e.g., colony counting, immunoassays, and various molecular techniques) generally suffer from a number of demerits (e.g., complex, time-consuming, and labor-intensive nature). To help overcome such limitations, nanomaterial-based biosensors have evolved as alternative candidates to realize portable, rapid, facile, and direct on-site identification of target microbes. In this review, nano-biosensors developed for the detection of airborne pathogens are listed and discussed in reference to conventional options. The prospects for the development of advanced nano-biosensors with enhanced accuracy and portability are also discussed.
