    Citation Excerpt :

    P22 infection in Salmonella led to ice crystal formation on the outer cell membrane. A detection limit of 10 cells/mL was reported in artificially contaminated eggs and raw meat samples (Wolber and Green 1990). A commercial assay based on ice nuclease P22 reporter phages was developed, and demonstrated potency to detect Salmonella with a limit of detection of less than 3 CFU/mL in 3 h (van der Merwe et al., 2014).

    Citation Excerpt :

    A common design strategy is the creation of reporter-based constructs packaged within phage or phage-like particles that infect target cells and ultimately result in the production of fluorescent, colorimetric, or luminescent signals. Furthermore, sensor designs can include genetically engineered phage that express a product causing ice nucleation [110] or that incorporate tags for linking to detectable elements such as quantum dots [111]. Though most of these examples of specifically modified phages have been enabled by advancements in engineering and synthetic biology to achieve real-world applicability, the concept of using natural phage as sensing tools is not a new one.
