Raman spectrometry appears to be an opportunity perform rapid tests in microbiological diagnostics as it provides phenotype-related information from single bacterial cells thus holding the promise of direct analysis clinical specimens without any time-consuming growth phase. Here, we demonstrate feasibility a antibiotic-susceptibility determination based on use spectra acquired cells. After two-hour preculture step, one susceptible and two resistant E. coli strains were incubated, for only...

Decreasing turnaround time is a paramount objective in clinical diagnosis. We evaluated the discrimination power of Raman spectroscopy when analyzing colonies from 80 strains belonging to nine bacterial and one yeast species directly on solid culture medium after 24-h (macrocolonies) 6-h (microcolonies) incubation. This approach, that minimizes sample preparation time, would allow resuming identification perform downstream antibiotic susceptibility testing. Correct rates measured for...

In this paper we present a longitudinal study of bacteria metabolism performed with novel Raman spectrometer system. Longitudinal is possible our setup since the overall procedure to localize single bacterium and collect spectrum lasts only 1 minute. Localization detection are by means lensfree imaging, whereas signal (from 600 3200 cm<sup>-1</sup>) collected into prototype that allows high light throughput (HTVS technology, Tornado Spectral System). Accomplishing time-lapse spectrometry...

The IGA code (a French acronym standing for actinides gamma isotopy) is a tool developed by the CEA LIST to determine isotopic composition of plutonium and uranium, based on automatic analysis γ/X spectrum emitted nuclear sample. Its main feature its generic approach problem. As consequence, very flexible tool, because no particular experimental setup imposed user acquisitions, in terms energy range, gain, channel number or detector resolution. However, these conditions can have an impact...

The micropattern gaseous detector Micromegas has been developed for several years in Saclay and presents good performance neutron detection. A prototype imaging designed new results obtained thermal beams are presented. Based on previous demonstrating a 1D spatial resolution, tomographic image of multiwire cable performed using prototype. number pillars supporting the micromesh is too large leads to local losses efficiency that distort reconstruction. Nevertheless, this first achieved with...

Timely microbiological results are essential to allow clinicians optimize the prescribed treatment, ideally at initial stage of therapeutic process. Several approaches have been proposed solve this issue and provide result in a few hours directly from sample such as molecular biology. However fast sensitive those methods not based on single phenotypic information which presents several drawbacks limitations. Optical advantage single-cell sensitivity probe phenotype measured cells.
