Abstract—Here, we report rapid and sensitive detection of Salmonella Enteritidis with high specificity by using SPR (Surface Plasmon resonance) technique. Antibodies against S. Enteritidis were immobilized on to a gold sensor surface and different concentrations of serially diluted S. Enteritidis solutions were pumped in to the system. The changes in the response unit (RU) due to the binding of different concentrations of bacteria were measured. Regeneration of the sensor surface was carried out by using 0.05 % PBS + Tween 80 solution. The selectivity of the developed sensor was examined with Listeria monocytogenes which did not produce any significant response. Additionally, the ability of the developed sensor to detect S. Enteritidis in milk samples was tested. Based on these results, the developed SPR based biosensor may be used for rapid, label-free, sensitive and selective detection of bacteria in food materials.

Index Terms—Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), biosensors, Salmonella Enteritidis, Listeria monocytogenes, milk.
