Abstract
ABSTRACT The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) that is affecting both public and animal health, worldwide. To circumvent this and prevent antibiotics from entering the food chain, it is essential to detect them rapidly at the source. As most of the conventional methods used for the antibiotic detection in biological, food and environmental samples are time consuming and expensive, a suitable alternative is served by the biosensors which provide rapid, cost-effective and user-friendly platform for portable sensing applications. Development of devices using lab-on-a-chip technology has potential application in the field of development of biosensor-based antibiotic detection kits. This review gives a detailed discussion of various biosensors developed for antibiotic detection. Recent techniques such as the integration of biosensing and microfluidic technologies, along with the simulation softwares employed which aids in the miniaturisation of the biosensing devices are also highlighted in this review.
