Pathogen Light: Fluorescent Probe for Rapid Foodborne Bacteria Detection
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
According to CDC, 1 in 6 Americans (or 48 million people) gets sick each year due to foodborne illness. Among them, there are 3,000 deaths. Foodborne bacteria is the NO.1 contributor for that. The direct and indirect costs associated with illnesses caused by major foodborne pathogens are estimated at $15.6 billion per year. Current technologies like culturing and PCR, which are considered as the gold standards, do not meet the fast testing demand requirements in the food supply chain. Pathogen light is a set of reagents and fluorescence probes that can identify foodborne pathogenic DNA in minutes rather than days.
