Abstract
The present invention provides a method for detecting and/or identifying specific bacteria within an uncultured sample. The method comprises steps selected inter alia from (a) obtaining an absorption spectrum (AS) of said uncultured sample; (b) acquiring the n dimensional volume boundaries for said specific bacteria; (c) data processing said AS; and, (d) detecting and/or identifying said specific bacteria if said m1 statistical correlation and/or said m features are within said n dimensional volume.
