- Researchers at the Agharkar Research Institute (ARI), Pune have developed 'bug sniffer,' a sensitive and low-cost sensor to rapidly detect bacteria.
- It can detect pathogens with a limit of detection of 10 cells per 1 milli liter within 30 minutes.
- The most common disease-causing bacteria is Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium.
- The Bug Snifer is a biosensor that uses synthetic peptides, magnetic nanoparticles, and quantum dots to detect the presence of bacteria.
- The ARI is an autonomous institute under the Department of Science & Technology.
