Spectral fingerprinting by FTIR microspectroscopy enables differentiation of Gram status, strain variability and resistance phenotypes among diabetic foot infection isolates.

Abstract excerpt

Diabetic foot infections (DFIs) are serious, often polymicrobial, complicating microbial identification. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy provides rapid, non-destructive molecular fingerprints. This study evaluated the use of FTIR microspectroscopy to differentiate between DFI Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, discriminate among species within each group, and distinguish between...
