Recent breakthroughs in biosensing technologies have significantly enhanced the rapid detection, diagnosis, and real-time monitoring of microbial infections, offering promising solutions for clinical and public health applications. These novel biosensors—ranging from point-of-care devices to sophisticated, high-throughput platforms—leverage cutting-edge approaches such as nanomaterials, microfluidics, and artificial intelligence to improve sensitivity, specificity, and turnaround time. The integration of these tools has the potential to revolutionize microbial diagnostics by enabling earlier intervention, individualized treatment, and better epidemiological surveillance.

This Research Topic seeks contributions that highlight innovative methodologies, translational research, and clinical applications in biosensing technologies. We welcome original research, review articles, and technological reports focusing on the detection of bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic pathogens, as well as studies that address challenges such as multiplexing, miniaturization, and deployment in resource-limited settings. Our goal is to foster a multidisciplinary dialogue that accelerates the adoption and optimization of biosensors for improved infectious disease management.

To gather further insights in this complex field, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Emerging biosensing platforms for rapid and sensitive detection of microbial pathogens
- Integration of biosensing with digital health and data analytics for real-time monitoring
- Applications in clinical diagnostics, point-of-care testing, and field surveillance
- Advances in miniaturization and development of portable biosensors
- Strategies for multiplexed detection and differentiation of co-infections
- Novel biorecognition elements (e.g., aptamers, antibodies, CRISPR-based systems)
- Overcoming challenges in specificity, robustness, and cost-effectiveness
- Implementation in low-resource and decentralized settings
- Regulatory, ethical, and translational considerations for clinical deployment
