Background: Pathogenic bacteria are widespread in nature and can cause infections and various complications, thereby posing a severe risk to public health. Therefore, simple, rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective methods must be developed to detect pathogenic bacteria. Biosensors are prominent platforms for detecting pathogenic bacteria owing to their high sensitivity, specificity, repeatability, and stability.

With the rapid development of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene testing of lung adenocarcinoma patients has been routinely carried out, EGFR mutations are also possible for some small samples of non-smoking female lung squamous cell carcinoma patients. This increases the opportunity for targeted therapy for this group of patients. However, drug resistance in patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma during targeted therapy is an important factor affecting subsequent treatment.

Mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) gene mutation is a large class of mutations commonly seen in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MET mutation includes subtypes such as MET exon 14 skipping mutation (METex14m) and MET amplification (METamp). For advanced NSCLC with METex14m, Savolitinib has a high sensitivity as a member of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
