A Molecular Beacons-Based SERS Assay for Rapid and Duplex Detection of MRSA

Abstract

Ramya Krishna

Methicillin-Resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is a serious public health threat due to its resistance to multiple antibiotics. The detection of MRSA is crucial for proper treatment and prevention of further spread of the bacteria. One potential method for detecting MRSA is through the use of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) based molecular biosensors. SERS is a powerful analytical technique that has been widely used for the detection of biological molecules.
