Abstract
Penicillins represent most commonly prescribed and salient part of antibacterial armamentarium. Due to lack of proper guidance and regulations, especially in developing countries they are indiscriminately applied in agricultural sectors (livestock farming, aquaculture and plants). Major concerns related to remaining residues of penicillins in food or environment are allergy, development of antibacterial resistance, environmental pollution, economical losses to food industries, consumers and food safety. Researchers of different disciplines are developing reliable detection methods for penicillins in various samples. Among them biosensors are attracting considerable attention primarily for their instant detection, convenience in application, on-site monitoring and portability. Nowadays, they are becoming more sophisticated with the help of modern approaches such as nanotechnology. This review article summarizes the research literature on advancements and recent trends in the field of biosensors for penicillins quantification till date. Different domains of biosensors (electrochemical, optical, mass-sensitive and thermal) are discussed for penicillins along with their applicability.
