Early diagnosis of bacterial infections is crucial to improving survival rates by enabling treatment with appropriate antibiotics within the first few hours of infection. This paper presents a highly sensitive amperometric biosensor for the detection of several pathogenic bacterial cells in blood plasma around 30 min. The proposed device is based on an electropolymerized self-assembled layer on gold nanoparticles operated in a portable nano-sieving microfluidic system (NS-MFS). The redox-active gold nanoparticles (raGNPs) enhanced the electrical conductivity and provided a greater number of electrochemically active molecules for sensing, while improving resistance to the fouling of sensors by oxidation products in blood plasma. The detection limit of the device has been shown to reach 10 CFU/mL for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus spiked in plasma. The dynamic range of the sensing system falls between 10 and 10(5) CFU/mL in a buffer solution by cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. The results demonstrated that the raGNPs/NS-MFS can successful detect P. aeruginosa and S. aureus in human plasma, and is very useful for the diagnosis of bacteremia from clinical samples.
