In this paper, a novel antibiotic modified carbon paste electrode (AMX-CPE) was fabricated for the directly determination of bacteria, such Staphylococcus aureus in physiological media. Electrochemical properties and morphological study of the modified electrode were greatly studied. We report a sensitive electrochemical voltammetric method for the immediate bacteria analyzing. A Staphylococcus bacterium adsorbed on an AMX-CPE surface and provides facile electrochemical quantitative methods for electroactive bacteria. Operational parameters have been optimized, and the stripping voltammetric performance has been studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The peaks current intensity is highly linear, with a good sensitivity of AMX-CPE.
