Advances in Biosensor Technology for Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Detection

Advances in Biosensor Technology for Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Detection provides an interdisciplinary overview of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb) and various biosensing techniques for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb) detection and diagnosis. The book covers detailed information about the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, its pathogenesis, and the global health challenges caused by tuberculosis. It explores potential materials for biosensor development, the various types of biosensors integrated with electrochemical and fluorescence for the detection of Mtb and TB biomarkers, and their application in disease diagnosis.

In addition, the book discusses the potential of advanced technologies, including AI, IoT, and POC devices for TB diagnosis. With contributions from experts in the field, this book is an informative resource for those interested in enhancing point-of-care diagnostics and accurate TB detection for the timely treatment of the disease.

• Details conventional diagnostic approaches for Mycobacterium tuberculosis detection
• Explores various biosensing techniques for MTb detection
• Discusses potential materials which can be utilized for biosensor development for MTb detection
• Examines the potential role of artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) in advancing Mtb diagnostics
