Biofilm Detection: Specifications
Specifications
These must be elaborated further, but to start with, the system should:
- be able to detect that it is in the presence of a biofilm on
- contact lenses
- catheters (which type?)
- surgical instruments
- kitchen utensils
- pipes
- food samples
- IUDs
- be able to adsorb to, and penetrate, the biofilm
- survive long enough in the biofilm in order to disperse it (probably using DspB)
- be able to disperse 99% of the biofilm material
Parameters to quantify
- maximum time for biofilm dispersal
- minimum amount of biofilm to be dispersed
- environmental conditions for system to work in (temperature, pH, pressure)
- any others..?
