Optical photothermal infrared spectroscopy: A novel solution for rapid identification of antimicrobial resistance at the single-cell level via deuterium isotope labeling.

ABSTRACT: The rise and extensive spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a growing concern, and a threat to the environment and human health globally. The majority of current AMR identification methods used in clinical setting are based on traditional microbiology culture-dependent techniques which are time-consuming or expensive to be implemented, thus appropriate antibiotic stewardship is provided retrospectively which means the first line of treatment is to hope that a broad-spectrum antibiotic works. Hence, culture-independent and single-cell technologies are needed to allow for rapid detection and identification of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and to support a more targeted and effective antibiotic therapy preventing further development and spread of AMR. In this study, for the
