Paper Abstract
Oral samples, including saliva, offer an attractive alternative to serum or urine for diagnostic testing. This is particularly
true for point-of-use detection systems. The various types of oral samples that have been reported in the literature are
presented here along with the wide variety of analytes that have been measured in saliva and other oral samples. The
paper focuses on utilizing point-detection of infectious disease agents, and presents work from our group on a rapid test
for multiple bacterial and viral pathogens by monitoring a series of targets. It is thus possible in a single oral sample to
identify multiple pathogens based on specific antigens, nucleic acids, and host antibodies to those pathogens. The value
of such a technology for detecting agents of bioterrorism at remote sites is discussed.
