Highly specific Electrochemical Sensing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients suffering from corneal ulcers: A comparative study.

ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common pathogenic gram-negative bacteria causing corneal ulcers globally. In severe cases, often after trauma and eye injury, corneal destruction progresses rapidly and may be completed within 24-48 h causing blindness. In our preliminary work, we have established an ultrasensitive polyaniline (PANI)/gold nanoparticles (Au NPs)/indium tin oxide (ITO) modified sensor for rapid detection of pyocyanin (PYO) in P. aeruginosa infections with a linear range from 238 μM to 1.9 μM and a detection limit of 500 nM. In the present study, we evaluated the efficiency of the established modified electrochemical sensor in the diagnosis of P. aeruginosa in 50 samples collected from patients suffering from corneal ulcers. The obtained results were compared with the result
