Abstract: This invention relates to a method that allows for the differentiation of isolates of commonly encountered bacteria that contain specific antibiotic-resistance genes from similar isolates that do not harbor the gene. More particularly, the invention relates to a method that utilizes an automated rapid platform system that employs intrinsic fluorescence, optical data analysis, and artificial intelligence methods to analyze multi-dimensional optical characteristics of bacterial strains.

Abstract: A system for conducting the identification and quantification of micro-organisms, e.g., bacteria in urine samples which includes: 1) several disposable cartridges for holding four disposable components including a centrifuge tube, a pipette tip having a 1 ml volume, a second pipette tip having a 0.5 ml volume, and an optical cup or cuvette; 2) a sample processor for receiving the disposable cartridges and processing the urine samples including transferring the processed urine sample to the optical cups; and 3) an optical analyzer for receiving the disposable cartridges and configured to analyze the type and quantity of micro-organisms in the urine sample. The disposable cartridges with their components including the optical cups or cuvettes are used in the sample processor, and the optical cups or cuvettes containing the processed urine samples are used in the optical analyzer for identifying and quantifying the type of micro-organism existing in the processed urine samples.
