Abstract excerpt
Rapid detection and differentiation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are critical for the early diagnosis of difficult-to-treat nosocomial and community acquired clinical infections and improved epidemiological surveillance. We developed a microfluidics chip coupled with surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy (532 nm) "lab-on-a-chip" system to rapidly detect and differentiate...
