Methods for identifying bacterial species in biofluid samples (e.g., whole blood samples) are described. The methods rely on optical spectroscopy, and enable rapid detection and identification of bacteria directly from whole blood. Not only can LSS-based techniques detect and identify bacteria in biofluids such as whole blood, but that species-level identification can potentially be made based on a small number of bacterial cells, without the need for observing entire colonies or performing susceptibility testing. The methods may comprise illuminating the biofluid sample with input light, detecting scattered light produced by the biofluid sample in response to the illuminating, generating first data indicative of a measured scattering spectrum associated with the biofluid sample using the detected scattered light, and identifying whether at least one of the bacterial species is present in the biofluid sample using the first data.

A sealing microlid (novel microplate sealing lid) designed to evaluate the biological effects of volatile agents in vapour phase in combination with a microplate is disclosed. The sealing microlid includes a plate having a surface, a plurality of flanges extending from the surface, and a protruding opening tab. The flanges of the sealing microlid serve as reservoirs for growth medium containing organisms or cells, which will grow on it, and, at the same time, generate an airtight condition with the well of the microplate necessary for leakage-prevention of the volatile agents tested. The apparatus of the present invention allows quantitative, rapid, simple, labour-and cost-effective susceptibility testing of organism or cell cultures to volatile agents in vapour phase.

The invention provides a bacterial drug resistance prediction method and system based on a time sequence electronic health record, and relates to the technical field of drug resistance prediction, and the method comprises the steps: extracting patient features from the electronic health record; performing two-dimensional and three-dimensional feature extraction on the drug molecules to obtain drug features; extracting bacterial characteristics according to the bacterial genome sequence; extracting drug sensitivity characteristics according to a drug sensitivity test of microorganisms; respectively aligning other features with the drug sensitive features; initializing a modal shared space, fusing the drug sensitive test time difference into a query vector, and calculating the attention of the shared space to each modal feature; aggregating all the features into a shared space according to the attention to obtain comprehensive features of the drug sensitive test; and inputting the comprehensive features into a pre-constructed prediction model to obtain a prediction result. According to the method, the problems that time features are not utilized in drug resistance early warning, interaction between patient features is ignored, and modeling of drug molecules and bacteria is lacked are solved, and the accuracy of drug resistance prediction is improved.

To provide a structure of a reagent disk plate in a drug susceptibility test that simplifies the procedure for advance preparation of the test, distributes specimens uniformly and appropriately, prevents cross-infection of specimens, and prevents damage and contamination of the medium due to excessive gas. The device comprises a test medium 1, at least two support restriction sections 112, a central injection section 2, multiple microchannels 3, multiple reaction channels 4, multiple preset reagents 41 specifically for AST, multiple overflow channels 5, multiple overflow channels 6, multiple converging sections 51, and multiple exhaust holes 7. Before the test medium is sealed, freeze-dried preset reagents are placed in the reaction channels. When the user injects a sample into the central injection section, the test medium is placed in the testing device. Upon activation, the sample flows uniformly from the microchannels to the reaction channels under the action of centrifugal force. If the sample content in the reaction channel exceeds its capacity, the sample flows into the overflow channel due to the converging section of the overflow channel, and gas generated during the reaction is discharged through the exhaust hole.

Methods are presented which use impedance flow cytometry for rapid susceptibility testing of antimicrobial agents including phage, antimicrobial peptides and rapid analysis of antimicrobial mediated serum bactericidal assays.
