Rapid Urinary Tract Infection Diagnostics by Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS):  Identification and Antibiotic Susceptibilities SERS spectra of 12 bacterial strains of urinary tract infection (UTI) clinical isolates grown and enriched from urine are reported. A partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) classification treatment of these SERS spectra results in strain level identification with >95% sensitivity and >99% specificity. The classification […]
