Modified Impedance Sensing System Determination of Virulence Characteristics of Pathogenic Bacteria Klebsiella Species.

An impedance sensing system is a family of biosensors that measure changes in electrical impedance to perform their functions. Physical and chemical changes in the impedance of the sensing element, such as changes in the concentration of a target analyte or changes in the physical properties of the sensing element, can result in changes in the impedance of the sensing element. Many impedance biosensors have been developed for the detection of pathogens in the past few decades. Several types of biosensors have been developed for the detection of infections, including transduction elements, biorecognition components, and electrochemical approaches. In this review, we discuss the characteristics and pathogenic factors associated with 2,3-butanediol-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae collected using impedance sensors. An impedance sensing system was introduced as a great method for monitoring the virulence factors of Klebsiella spp . in situ. Klebsiella pneumoniae produces virulence factors, including capsules, lipopolysaccharides, fimbriae, and siderophores, as part of its pathogenesis. It is possible to examine virulence factors' pathogenic characteristics in vitro and in vivo using real tissues or mouse models in order to conduct experiments. For the monitoring of virulence factors in situ, a novel alternative method has been developed to mimic the environment of real tissues. For the purpose of developing tissue-mimicking models, mucin and mannose were used to modify the surface of gold electrodes. These components are known to contribute to the adhesion of pathogens to epithelial cells in mammals.
