Bali Thorat, Mukti E. Jadhav

Abstract

Universally tuberculosis is the recordable serious killer diseases produced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Today in the medical field the most challenging and demanding job is detection of Tuberculosis. As per the current situations tuberculosis detection methods can be improve by bio-sensing technologies. The various bio-sensors have been developed in last few decades to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The recognition systems of these bio-sensors are based on basic signal transducer principles and various biological elements. The purpose of the paper is to study the severity of tuberculosis and a number of bio-sensing technologies for rapid detection of tuberculosis and also shown different kinds of bio-sensors with their limits of recognition. Categorization of these bio-sensors are constructed on the process of signal transduction specially physical and chemical signal transducer with piezo-electric quartz crystal bio-sensors, electro-chemical bio-sensors, Magneto elastic Bio-sensors, Micro-cantilever Bio-sensors, Breathalyzer sensors.
