Abstract
A sensitive detection of microorganisms plays an important role in prevention and identification of infectious
and deadly diseases. However, conventional methods of bacterial detection are time-consuming, laborious or
expensive. A promising way to overcome these problems is offered by the strategy of molecularly imprinted
polymers (MIPs), which uses molecular templates to create selective binding sites in cross-linked polymer
layers. By this approach, it is possible to prepare materials tailored for recognition of target analyte taking to
account the detection method available. In this work, the novel sensitive method for Staphylococcus aureus
isolation and detection was investigated. This method utilized the non-covalent molecular imprinting technique
employing dopamine as a functional monomer. A layer of molecularly imprinted polymer was created on a
surface of magnetic particles (MPs). MPs were chosen due to the ability to pre-concentrate bacteria from large
sample volumes and thereby allow for the extremely sensitive detection.
