Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) is a major pathogen that poses a serious threat to human health. Unfortunately, currently, there are no effective measures to curb its rapid development. To address this, an in-depth study on the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) of 22 strains of 7 categories of CRE using a gold silver composite SERS substrate was conducted. The residual networks with an attention mechanism to classify the SERS spectrum from three perspectives (pathogenic bacteria type, enzyme-producing subtype, and sensitive antibiotic type) were performed. The results show that the SERS spectrum measured by the composite SERS substrate was repeatable and consistent. The SERS spectrum of CRE showed varying degrees of species differences, and the strain difference in the SERS spectrum of CRE was closely related to the type of enzyme-producing subtype. The introduced attention mechanism improved the classification accuracy of the residual network (ResNet) model. The accuracy of CRE classification for different strains and enzyme-producing subtypes reached 94.0% and 96.13%, respectively. The accuracy of CRE classification by pathogen sensitive antibiotic combination reached 93.9%. This study is significant for guiding antibiotic use in CRE infection, as the sensitive antibiotic used in treatment can be predicted directly by measuring CRE spectra. Our study demonstrates the potential of combining SERS with deep learning algorithms to identify CRE without culture labels and classify its sensitive antibiotics. This approach provides a new idea for rapid and accurate clinical detection of CRE and has important significance for alleviating the rapid development of resistance to CRE. © 2024.
