Abstract
Rapid, reliable, cost-effective, selective and sensitive detection of biomolecules has gained great attention in the preliminary scopes of scientific research groups. Detection, identification, and quantification of potentially threatening microorganisms found in water sources, soil, living organisms are of great interest. Molecular imprinting has been applied as a biomimetic strategy by using a combination of shape and chemical composition on the surface. Besides, the imprinting process has been extensively used due to providing desirable properties to synthesized polymeric structures such as foreseeable, selective, specific and universal stability. Imprinting of microorganisms has been introduced as an alternative approach that has certain positive features as compared to traditional methods, due to its simplicity, low cost preparation with high selectivity and stability. The combination of this technology with transducers has undergone rapid expansion to create functional sensing applications. In this chapter, the aim is to review the recent implementations of polymer-based molecularly imprinted material in forming sensors for the recognition of microorganisms by combining imprinting techniques and analytical detection technologies. Different imprinting strategies developed to produce molecularly imprinted polymers for direct and indirect recognition of microorganisms are extensively summarized. Molecularly imprinted polymers combined with sensing platforms such as electrochemical, optical and mass sensitive transducers are explained. Representative examples based on imprinting of both whole microbial cells and their components are given, covering the detection and enumeration of microorganisms. In consequence, challenges and future perspectives are discussed as means to increase the selectivity of molecularly imprinted polymers-based sensing systems designed for the recognition of microorganisms.
