Detecting antimicrobial resistance in <i>Escherichia coli</i> using benchtop attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and machine learning

Abstract

in independent testing, approaching the reported performance of FTIR microscopy. With further algorithm improvement, these data suggest the potential deployment of a portable FTIR spectrometer as a rapid antimicrobial susceptibility prediction platform to enable the efficient use of antimicrobials.
