RETRACTED: Alginate‑carbon dot nanocomposite: A green approach towards designing turn-on aptasenor for Candida albicans fungus

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: ≥ 0.989 for both linear ranges), with limit of detection of 40 cells/mL. The selectivity of the designed probe was examined against a mixture of microbial agents (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) and Curdlan polysaccharide (1→3)-b-D-Glucan (L). The designed biosensor showed an excellent ability to directly detect Candida albicans fungus via a simple and fast (<30 min) approach. The results of this experimental study show that Alginate-CD-aptamer nanocomposite is a bright prospect in clinical applications and a suitable alternative to traditional methods of Candida albicans diagnosis.
