Abstract

A biosensor utilizing long-period fiber gratings (LPFG) functionalized with nanoporous coated structures was developed for the rapid detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria. The nanoporous structure coatings on the LPFG surface facilitated specific adhesion and interaction with S. aureus, resulting in an instantaneous shift in the resonance wavelength (RW) in the transmission spectrum of the LPFG. The LPFG with nanoporous polyelectrolyte coatings exhibited an approximately seven-fold RW shift compared to the bare LPFG under the optimal experiment conditions. By tracking the RW shifts, we were able to monitor the real-time S. aureus adhesion to study the interaction process in detail. The bacterial differentiation and S. aureus specificity of the method was confirmed through a series of studies using Escherichia coli (E. coli). This nanoporous structure-enabled LPFG-based biosensor scheme holds significant promise for rapid, reliable, and low-cost detection of S. aureus for biomedical applications.
