Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are a critical medical concern, characterized by elevated morbidity, mortality, extended hospital stays, substantial healthcare costs, and diagnostic challenges. The clinical outcomes for patients with BSI can be markedly improved through the prompt identification of the causative pathogens and their susceptibility to antibiotics and antimicrobial agents. Traditional BSI diagnosis via blood culture is often hindered by its lengthy incubation period and its limitations in detecting pathogenic bacteria and their resistance profiles. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has recently gained prominence as a rapid and effective technique for identifying pathogenic bacteria and assessing drug resistance. This method offers molecular fingerprinting with benefits such as rapidity, sensitivity, and non-destructiveness. The objective of this study was to integrate deep learning (DL) with SERS for the rapid identification of common pathogens and their resistance to drugs in BSIs. To assess the feasibility of combining DL with SERS for direct detection, erythrocyte lysis and differential centrifugation were employed to isolate bacteria from blood samples with positive blood cultures. A total of 12,046 and 11,968 SERS spectra were collected from the two methods using Raman spectroscopy and subsequently analyzed using DL algorithms. The findings reveal that convolutional neural networks (CNNs) exhibit considerable potential in identifying prevalent pathogens and their drug-resistant strains. The differential centrifugation technique outperformed erythrocyte lysis in bacterial isolation from blood, achieving a detection accuracy of 98.68% for pathogenic bacteria and an impressive 99.85% accuracy in identifying carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. In summary, this research successfully developed an innovative approach by combining DL with SERS for the swift identification of pathogenic bacteria and their drug resistance in BSIs. This novel method holds the promise of significantly improving patient prognoses and optimizing healthcare efficiency. Its potential impact could be profound, potentially transforming the diagnostic and therapeutic landscape of BSIs.
