Replacing a Century Old Technique – Modern Spectroscopy Can Supplant Gram Staining
Abstract Rapid and accurate Gram differentiation is paramount as the first step of pathogen identification and antibiotics administration. However, the current method requires additional reagents, is time-consuming, and is operator dependent. Here we show the principle of tip enhanced Raman spectros...
