Healthcare-associated infections resulting from cross-contamination, particularly from the hands of multidisciplinary staff, significantly impact patient mortality in health units. The prolonged nature of classical phenotypic diagnostic methods underscores the need for faster and more precise alternatives. This study proposes an automatic procedure utilizing hyperspectral imaging (HSI) in shortwave infrared (SWIR) range to detect resistance to oxycillins in hospital bacteria. The automatic procedure employs partial least square with discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) for the classification of antibiotic-resistant and non-resistant bacteria. HSI data were obtained from samples collected from hands of eight intensive care unit workers using sisuCHEMA workstation. Results demonstrated effectiveness of proposed procedure in detecting oxycillin resistance in S. aureus samples and other 14 strains of Staphylococcus spp.

Ink identification using only spectral reflectance information poses significant challenges due to material degradation, aging, and spectral overlap between ink classes. This study explores the use of hyperspectral imaging and machine learning techniques to classify three distinct types of inks: pure metallo-gallate, carbon-containing, and non-carbon-containing inks. Six supervised classification models, including five traditional algorithms (Support Vector Machines, K-Nearest Neighbors, Linear Discriminant Analysis, Random Forest, and Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis) and one Deep Learning-based model, were evaluated.
