Rapid, simple, sensitive, and selective recognition of salmonella that causes food poisoning disease is necessary for food-safety and prevention of pathogenic infection. However, laborious and time-consuming process which is required in previous methods put a limit on rapid detection for target. Herein, we propose liquid crystal (LC)-based system to allow simple and remarkably sensitive detection for salmonella via optical response of LCs.
