The simplicity and rapidity of techniques are imperative for their adoption and widespread usage at point-of-care. The fabrication and evaluation of such a device is reported in this work. The use of a small bioreceptor array (based on lectin-carbohydrate binding) resulted in a unique response profile, which has the potential to be used for pathogen identification, as demonstrated by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The performance of the chemiresistive device was tested with Escherichia coli K12, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus mutans, and Salmonella typhi. The limits of detection, based on concanavalin A (conA) lectin as the bioreceptor, are 4.7 \u00d7 103 cfu\/mL, 25 cfu\/mL, 7.4 \u00d7 104 cfu\/mL, and 6.3 \u00d7 102 cfu\/mL. This shows that the detection of pathogenic bacteria is achieved with clinically relevant concentrations. Importantly, responses measured in spiked artificial saliva showed minimal matrix interference. Furthermore, the exploitation of the distinctive outer composition of the bacteria and selectivity of lectin-carbohydrate interactions allowed for the discrimination of bacterial infections from viral infections, which is a current and urgent need for diagnosing common clinical infections.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bios8030063","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,29]],"date-time":"2018-06-29T10:51:50Z","timestamp":1530269510000},"page":"63","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Lectin- and Saccharide-Functionalized Nano-Chemiresistor Arrays for Detection and Identification of Pathogenic Bacteria Infection"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Nuvia M.","family":"Saucedo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, University of California, Riverside, CA 92521, USA"},{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Southern Adventist University, Collegedale, TN 37315, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yingning","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Riverside, CA 92521, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0198-0154","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tung","family":"Pham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Riverside, CA 92521, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2831-4154","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ashok","family":"Mulchandani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Riverside, CA 92521, USA"},{"name":"Materials Science and Engineering Program, University of California, Riverside, CA 92521, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.3201\/eid1701.P11101","article-title":"Foodborne Illness Acquired in the United States\u2014Major Pathogens","volume":"17","author":"Scallan","year":"2011","journal-title":"Emerg.
