Method for determining the resistance of a microorganism to an antimicrobial.

Abstract

Method for learning a characterization algorithm, configured to characterize a metabolism of at least one strain of microorganism, the method comprising the following steps: a) the distribution of different microorganisms of said strain in different learning samples, the learning samples comprising a nutrient medium to which a metabolic marker has been added respectively according to different concentrations, the metabolic marker being intended to be metabolized by each microorganism, at least one sample being such that it does not comprise a metabolic marker, or according to a concentration considered negligible; b) the acquisition of learning spectra of microorganisms of each learning sample;c) from the learning spectra acquired in each learning sample, the parameterization of the characterization algorithm, so as to characterize, from each learning spectrum, a metabolism of the microorganism.
