A novel, Ω-shaped fiber-optic localized surface plasmon resonance (FOLSPR) biosensor was designed for sensitive real-time and label-free bacterial detection. The designed Ω-shaped fiber-optic probe exhibits an outstanding sensitivity, due to the effect of unique geometry on performance. The results show that refractive index (RI) sensitivity of the Ω-shaped fiber-optic probe is 14 times and 2.5 times higher than those of the straight-shaped and the U-shaped FOLSPR, respectively. In addition, the reason for the geometry and the bending radius effects on RI sensitivity was discussed by investigating the relationship between RI sensitivity and the bending area. The results show that RI sensitivity was enhanced with the increase of bending area, and the best RI sensitivity obtained by Ω-shaped FOLSPR was 64.582 (a.u.)/RIU. Combined with this newly designed Ω-shaped FOLSPR biosensor, a real-time, label-free, sensitive, and highly selective bacterial detection method was established. In this work, the aptamers immobilized on the surface of FOLSPR could specifically capture Salmonella Typhimurium, resulting in an intense change of the absorption peak. In line with this principle, the FOLSPR biosensor achieved high detection sensitivity for Salmonella Typhimurium down to 128 CFU/mL within a linear range from 5 × 102 to 1 × 108 CFU/mL and showed good selectivity for Salmonella Typhimurium detection compared to other bacteria. Furthermore, the FOLSPR biosensor was successfully applied to the detection of Salmonella Typhimurium in a chicken sample with the recoveries of 85-123%. With these characteristics, the novel biosensor is a potential alternative tool in food analysis and environmental monitoring.
