MEANS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING BACTERIA IN A SAMPLE

摘要

The present invention provides a method for detecting and/or identifying specific bacteria within an uncultured sample. The method comprises steps se lected inter alia from (a) obtaining an absorption spectrum (AS) of said unc ultured sample; (b) acquiring the n dimensional volume boundaries for said s pecific bacteria; (c) data processing said AS; and, (d) detecting and/or ide ntifying said specific bacteria if said m1 statistical correlation and/or sa id m features are within said n dimensional volume.
