Abstract

The evolution of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) provides an opportunistic approach for the detection of pathogenic bacteria. This approach can be enhanced by the application of VOC-labelled enzyme substrates that target specific enzyme activities of the bacteria under investigation. Detection of the VOCs provides a novel, specific and sensitive approach for the detection of pathogenic bacteria. This review highlights the importance of this approach alongside a range of alternative detection techniques for the identification of pathogenic bacteria.
