Abstract

Abstract: Background: Optical biosensors offer excellent properties and methods for detecting bacteria when compared to traditional analytical techniques.  It allows direct detection of many biological and chemical materials.  Bacteria are found in the human body naturally non-pathogenic and pathologically, as they are found in other living organisms.  One of these bacteria is Escherichia coli (E. coli) which are found in the human body in its natural and pathogenic form. E.coli bacteria cause many diseases, including Stomach, intestines, urinary system infections, and others. The aim of this study: is sensing and differentiation between normal flora and pathogenic E.coli. Material and method: The optical biosensor constructed of a multi-mode – no core- multi mode optical fibre that differentiates between pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria of E.coli by measuring the changing for light intensity using source of light 410nm laser diode.  Multi-mode - no core - multi-mode optical fibre (MM-NOC-MM) connected to the OSA analyser (HR2000) by means of an adapter and finally connected to a computer to show the results. Results: The intensity of the transmitted light recorded in the case of pathogenic bacteria is less than the intensity of the transmitted light recorded in the case of non-pathogenic bacteria. Conclusion: these results were obtained because of the ideal and better choice of the wavelength of the laser used with its absorption E.coli bacteria.
