Summary

This review examines the design principles, transduction mechanisms, and performance characteristics of electrochemical biosensors for antibiotic detection, covering enzyme-based, aptamer-based, and molecularly imprinted polymer approaches and highlighting the integration of nanomaterials and microfluidics to address the challenge of antibiotic resistance monitoring.

The development and uses of electrochemical biosensors for antibiotic detection are covered in detail in this chapter. Electrochemical biosensors have emerged as a possible answer to the pressing demand for quick and sensitive detection techniques due to the growing prevalence of antibiotic resistance. The first section introduces the fundamental concepts of antibiotics and their electrochemical sensing, including the mechanisms of electrochemical transduction and the various types of electrodes and transducers employed. Next, several biosensor designs, including those based on enzymes, aptamers, and molecularly imprinted polymers, are examined for antibiotic detection. Key performance measures are reviewed, along with obstacles and constraints in the field, including sensitivity, specificity, and reaction time. The chapter emphasizes the combination of nanomaterials and microfluidics to improve biosensor functioning, as well as current advancements and future directions. It aims to provide valuable insights to researchers and practitioners in the field of electrochemical biosensing for antibiotic detection by offering a comprehensive overview of current technologies and developments.
