The 3D impedimetric sensors as a tool for monitoring bacterial response to antibiotics

The developed microbial sensor based on interdigitated electrode array (3D-IDEA) impedimetric transducer was employed in a biosensing platform especially designed to monitor the bacterial response to the antibiotic ampicillin. To facilitate immobilization of bacteria within the trenches and prevent their deposition on top of the barriers an important novelty is the use of polyIJN-isopropylmethacrylamide) p(NIPMAM) microgels working as antifouling agents, deposited on top of the barriers by microcontact printing.
