Typhoid
is
re
-emerging
as
a
biggest
health
threat
to
third
world
countries
.
One
of
the
major
challenge
is
false
negative
diagnosis
using
existing
immunodiagnostic
methods
due
to
overlapping
symptoms
of
other
infections
(
like
brucellosis
,
malaria
,
hepatitis
)
that
mimic
this
enteric
fever
(
typhoid
)
.
Surface
plasmon
resonance
(
SPR
)
based
DNA
hybridisation
biosensor
has
been
fabricated
by
generating
self-assembled
monolayer
of
5
'
-
thiolated
single
-stranded
DNA
(
ssDNA
)
probe
onto
gold
surface
.
Highly
specific
DNA
probe
has
been
selected
from
conserved
Vi
capsular
antigen
gene
of
Salmonella
enterica
serovars
typhi
.
This
DNA
biosensor
has
been
investigated
for
label-free
real-time
monitoring
of
Salmonella
.

This
biosensor
was
successfully
demonstrated
to
distinguish
complementary

non-complementary

one

and
reusability
up
to

Successful

were
obtained
for
hybridisation
studies
of

isolated
from

Performance

of
this
biosensing
device
suggested
further
scope
to
fine-tune
such
DNA-based
assays
to
be
implied
for
clinical
,
food
and
environmental
applications
.
