Rapid Raman spectroscopy-based test for antimicrobial resistance.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the top global health threats. In 2019, AMR was associated with 4.95 million deaths, of which 1.

Currently, empirical therapy regimens are often used in the treatment of infectious diseases that are not based on data on pathogen resistance. One of the main reasons for the unjustified prescription of antibacterial drugs is the lack of rapid and at the same time universal methods of determining the antibiotic resistance of the pathogen. The most widely used culture techniques, such as the microdilution method, require a long time to generate the necessary number of bacterial cells.
