Abstract
The present invention provides a method for detecting, and characterizing a microorganism present in a sample and growth composition whereby the method may be accomplished utilizing a time-dependent spectroscopic technique to obtain at least two measurements directly from a sample and growth composition and correlating said measurements for the detection and characterization of a microorganism, that may be present in the sample.
