Rapid, expression‐free bacteriophage‐based specific detection of target bacteria by conditional release of encapsidated reporter molecules

Abstract Rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases is of paramount importance to prevent or control outbreaks and pandemics. Detection of bacteria is commonly performed using culture‐based and molecular detection methods, which cannot address the need for quick, specific and cheap diagnostics. Bacteriophage‐based assays r...
