One promising, but currently underexplored, area for the future of drinking water pathogen monitoring stems from the development of nanomaterial-enabled detection strategies. The nanoscience literature contains numerous reports of nanoenabled biosensors; however, to date only a small percentage have focused on the detection of whole cells, in general, and waterborne pathogens, in particular. There are significant opportunities for the use of nanoenabled biosensors for environmental monitoring, and this review is intended to both illustrate the state of this field and to spur additional research in this area.
一个有前景但目前尚未充分探索的饮用水病原体监测未来领域源于纳米材料使能检测策略的发展。纳米科学文献中包含许多关于纳米使能生物传感器的报告;然而,迄今为止,只有一小部分报告集中于检测整个细胞,一般来说,以及特别是水传播病原体。对于纳米使能生物传感器在环境监测中的应用有重大机会,而这篇综述旨在展示该领域的现状,并激发该领域的更多研究。
