Timely effective antibiotics usage to control infection is crucial for patients’ survival. The standard microbiological diagnosis of infection however can last days. The delay in accurate antibiotic therapy would lead to not only poor clinical outcomes, but also to a rise in antibiotic resistance due to widespread use of empirical broad-spectrum antibiotics. An important measure to tackle this problem is fast determination of bacterial antibiotic susceptibility to optimize antibiotic treatment. We show that a protocol based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy can obtain consistent antibiotic susceptibility test results from clinical blood-culture samples within four hours. The characteristic spectral signatures of the obtained spectra of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli—prototypic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria—became prominent after an effective pretreatment procedure removed strong interferences from blood constituents. Using them as the biomarkers of bacterial metabolic responses to antibiotics, the protocol reported the susceptibility profiles of tested drugs against these two bacteria acquired from patients’ blood with high specificity, sensitivity and speed. ? 2020, The Author(s). |
