Quantum Physics in Bacterial Diagnostics and Therapeutics

الملخص

The escalating crisis of antibiotic resistance necessitates a paradigm shift in the approach to infectious disease management. This study explores the emerging field at the intersection of quantum physics and bacteriology, focusing on how quantum principles are being leveraged to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
We examine two primary areas: quantum-enhanced biosensing for early and precise bacterial detection, and quantum-inspired therapeutics, particularly the use of quantum dots and quantum disinfection technologies.
The review highlights the potential of quantum mechanics to offer solutions that surpass the limitations of classical methods, providing unprecedented sensitivity in diagnosis and new mechanisms of action for treatment.
The integration of quantum concepts, from quantum coherence in biological processes to the application of quantum dots, represents a promising frontier in the fight against bacterial pathogens.
