However, despite the high error rate, Ashton et al. [ 10] demonstrate the potential of the MinION® device for microbial sequencing.

It was the purpose of this study to evaluate the performance of a new point-of-care multiplex PCR device for rapid microbial testing in the setting of HAP at the ICU.
Miniaturized PCR devices have been reported for microbial agent detection and identification.
Unfortunately, submerged surfaces of these devices act as excellent seat for microbial biofilms (Donlan 2001; Costerton et al. 1999).
The impressive diversity of electroactive microorganisms and the conditions in which they function provide new opportunities for electrochemical devices, such as microbial fuel cells that generate electricity or microbial electrolysis cells that produce hydrogen or methane.
These engineered nanomaterials are approved by regulatory agencies such as USFDA and Korea⿿s FITI, for use as antimicrobial agents, supplementary antimicrobials, food packaging, skin care products, oral hygiene, and for fortifying devices prone to microbial infections.
