Remote Coacervate Robots with Visualized Bacteria Sensing and Removal in Indwelling Catheters for Infection Prevention
Listed in figshare and Loughborough Research Repository — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.1021/acs.nanolett.6c04324.s001
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) have been a common but challenging disease due to difficulties in the accurate prescribing of antibiotics, while existing clinical diagnostic methods are deficient in their quickness, simplicity, and convenience.
Description
Here we report a point-of-care sensing technique using untethered coacervate robots, which demonstrate high controllability and adaptation in confined catheters filled with viscous urine.
Under different motion modes, the controlled coacervate robots can achieve a quick, visualized, and selective fluorescence response to Gram-negative bacteria from 10<sup>2</sup> CFU/mL to 10<sup>7</sup> CFU/mL in human urine as well as remove the colonized bacteria in the inner wall of catheters within 5 min. Blind tests on clinical urine samples with various bacterial infections reveal that the coacervate robots achieve 90% sensitivity and 100% specificity in identifying Gram-negative bacteriuria.

The visualized sensing technique opens up a pathway for quick onsite diagnosis, which helps prevent infections associated with urinary catheters.
