  • , different optical biosensors were created for rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria, using fluorescence or surface plasmon resonance (SPR) because of their sensitivity [22][23]. For fluorescence analysis, antibodies (Ab) are conjugated with fluorescent compounds and used in combination with classical
  • techniques (ELISA, PCR). With these biosensors overnight culture is required, leading to a long time for the analysis, while SPR is a powerful and complex technique, which unfortunately requires specialized staff, and costly and large equipment [24][25].

In the construction of enzyme biosensors, efficient communication between the active site of enzyme molecule and the electrode surface is one of the most important factors for sensor performance. As the protein shell always prevents the direct electron transfer from the active site of the
