Abstract
Raman spectroscopy is a label-free technique for generating unique spectral fingerprints from intact microorganisms. Studies conducted for more than a decade have shown that these “whole-organism fingerprints” can be used to identify pathogens, including bacteria, yeasts, and spores, at the strain level, even when the microorganisms are so closely related that they are difficult to distinguish by conventional techniques. Emerging techniques such as Raman microscopy and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) can enhance the magnitude of the signal to the point that Raman fingerprinting can achieve single-cell sensitivity. More recently, Raman microscopy and SERS have been integrated with biomolecule capture to produce a new microarray technology, dubbed “microSERS,” for rapid identification of pathogens and their toxins in complex samples, without any labels, pre-processing of the sample, or culturing. This chapter reviews the studies that have been done on Raman microscopy and SERS for pathogen identification, and innovative methods for sample collection, concentration, and manipulation that can be combined with fingerprinting techniques. It also presents recent progress on microSERS analysis for the identification of bacteria, spores, and toxins in complex samples; differentiation between viable and nonviable microorganisms; and evaluation of growth conditions on microbial phenotype and specificity/affinity for capture biomolecules.
