Selected optical fiber sensors offer extraordinary sensitivity to changes in external refractive (RI), which make them promising for label-free biosensing. In this work the most sensitive ones, namely long-period gratings working at (DTP-LPG) and micro-cavity in-line Mach-Zehnder interferometers (µIMZI) are discussed for application in bacteria sensing. We describe their working principles and RI sensitivity when operating in water environments, which is as high as 20,000 nm/RIU (Refractive index unit) for DTP-LPGs and 27,000 nm/RIU for µIMZIs. Special attention is paid to the methods to enhance the sensitivity by etching and nano-coatings. While the DTP-LPGs offer a greater interaction length and sensitivity to changes taking place at their surface, the µIMZIs are best suited for investigations of sub-nanoliter and picoliter volumes. The capabilities of both the platforms for bacteria sensing are presented and compared for strains of Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharide E. coli, outer membrane proteins of E. coli, and Staphylococcus aureus. While DTP-LPGs have been more explored for bacteria detection in 102–106 Colony Forming Unit (CFU)/mL for S. aureus and 103–109 CFU/mL for E. coli, the µIMZIs reached 102–108 CFU/mL for E. coli and have a potential for becoming picoliter bacteria sensors.
