Highlights•Sensors for bacteria mostly rely on surface-immobilized capture probes, for
example, antibodies.•Surface features are critical in the bacterial transition from planktonic to …

Bacteria elimination from water sources is key to obtain drinkable water. Hence, the design
of systems with ability to interact with bacteria and remove them from water is an attractive …

Enrichment and diagnosis tools for pathogens currently available are time consuming, thus
the development of fast and highly sensitive alternatives is desirable. In this study, a novel …

Bacterial cell attachment that results in biofilm formation is the first step of bacteria-mineral
interaction, and it is known that they strongly depend on the chemical characteristics of the …

Magnetic nanopowders were developed by functionalization of bimagnetic core@ shell
nanoparticles with cysteine (CoFe2O4@ ɣ-Fe2O3@ Cys), which present a core with high …

This chapter focuses on the interactions of the metallic and metal oxide nanomaterials and
microorganisms, such as algae, bacteria, and protozoa. Engineered Nanomaterials (ENMs) …

Bacteria infection is a growing problem all over the world. Within this contribution,
