Popis: There is an urgent need to develop a rapid procedure that can rapidly identify and obtain antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results directly from positive blood cultures. Here, we report a semi-automatic bacterial diagnosis procedure, which includes 1) a bacterial concentration process to isolate the bacteria from a positive blood culture bottle (PBCB), 2) an identification process using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), and 3) a rapid AST process based on stimulated Raman scattering imaging of deuterium oxide (D2O) incorporation in bacteria. A total of 105 samples were tested for bacterial identification, and bacterial identification accuracy of 92.3% was achieved. AST takes about 2.5 h after identification. This semi-automatic procedure only takes 3.5 h, which is demonstrated to be the fastest process to obtain identification and AST results starting from PBCB.
