TL;DR: A fingerprint lifting technique has been innovated to visualize trace TNT particulates on various surfaces by the appearance of a different color against a yellow-green background under a UV lamp, showing high selectivity and sensitivity with a detection limit as low as 5 ng/mm(2) on a manila envelope and the attribute of being seen with the naked eye.

TL;DR: In this article, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was used for the detection of living bacteria in drinking water by employing a synthesis of silver nanoparticles coating the cell wall of bacteria.

TL;DR: The recent trends and developments of label and label-free based SERS applied to detection of pathogen bacteria, including the relatively complete interpretation of SERS spectra are summarized.

TL;DR: The Bacteria@AgNPs method is used to detect antibiotic resistance of E. coli strains against several antibiotics used in human medicine and successful quantification of different percentages of dead bacteria both in bulk liquid and on glass surfaces by using SERS mapping on a single cell basis.

TL;DR: Antimicrobial peptide based magnetic recognition elements and Au@Ag-GO SERS tags with stable internal standards: a three in one biosensor for isolation, discrimination and killing of multiple bacteria in whole blood.
