Diagnostics Based on Microbial Enzymes

Microbial enzymes have emerged as desirable resources for the diagnostic field in the rapidly expanding healthcare sector. Their biocompatible nature, sustainable and selective quality, and economic viability make them preferable to enzymes derived from plants or animals. This chapter explores the fascinating world of these biocatalytic agents, highlighting their diversity, distinctive capabilities, and versatile applications in the realm of diagnostics. Furthermore, the chapter discusses the associated assay technologies, their principles, novel technology adaptations, and limitations. By highlighting the real-world uses of microbial enzymes as diagnostic tools, this chapter can serve as a valuable resource for academics and healthcare professionals in the ever-evolving field of microbial diagnostics.
