Two methods for the detection of important human pathogens, Cryptosporidium parvum and Helicobacter pylori, were investigated: a fiber optic biosensor, and real time PCR. The mechanism for specific detection in both methods is, recognition of specific DNA sequences in the target organisms. The Analyte 2000 was the biosensor that was used.
