Abstract

Rapid and reproducible discrimination between bacterial pathogens is a clear goal in microbiological laboratories when processing infected clinical samples. In this study Raman spectra were taken from at least 30 colonies of four strains of bacteria includingStaphylococcus epidermidis(1457 and 9142) andEscherichia coli(K12 and Top 10) using the Renishawin ViaRaman microscope system. Analysis based on principal components suggests that even strain differentiation (e.g., 1457 versus 9142 or K12 versus Top10) is possible.
