Biosorbent Paper Strips Comprising Immobilized Bacteriophage Tail Spike Proteins as Rapid Test for Detection of Salmonella Typhi Contamination in Drinking Water

We aim to develop a paper-based test that takes advantage of the specificity of phage tail spike proteins in detecting bacteria by using them to separate, concentrate and detect the bacteria that causes typhoid fever: Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi.
