Summary of the results of P. aeruginosa detection by electrochemical, phenotypic, automated and 16 s rRNA gene PCR methods.

Detection method	Number of positive samples	Percentage
PCR amplification of 16 s rRNA gene	7	100%
SWV using PANI/Au NPs modified ITO	7	100%
CV using PANI/Au NPs modified ITO	6	85.7%
The automated ID & Ast system	6	85.7%
SWV using SPE	5	71.4%
Phenotypic methods	5	71.4%
CV using SPE	3	42.9%

CV cyclic voltammetry scans, SWV square wave voltammetry scans, SPE screen-printed electrode.

Percentages are calculated from P. Aeruginosa positive samples by PCR amplification of 16s rRNA gene.
