<p>Within the scope of our project, we want to develop a system with which pathogens on solid surfaces can be detected quickly and cost-effectively. This is essential in many respects, because presently there are no effective analytic methods for use in the health sector that can meet the increasing demands of affordability and speed. It is particularly important to detect microorganisms on solid surfaces in places where good hygiene is crucial, since—even after cleaning—microorganisms can still be present in dangerous amounts. This is demonstrated by the high number of 1.7 million infections per year in the US health sector, of which approximately 10,000 resulted in death (Klevens et al., 2002). A large number of these cases would be preventable, however, there is a present lack of adequate tools for practical application. We not only want to develop a detection system that alerts the patient to the presence of pathogens, but one that can also identify and quantify these microorganisms. Only in this way is it possible to reliably estimate the danger of infection.</p> | <p>Within the scope of our project, we want to develop a system with which pathogens on solid surfaces can be detected quickly and cost-effectively.
