Unraveling the Secrets of Colistin Resistance with Label-Free Raman Spectroscopy

The rise in number of infections from multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative microbes has led to an increase in the use of a variety of ‘polymyxins’ such as colistin. Even though colistin is known to cause minor nephro- and neuro-toxicity, it is still considered as last resort antibiotic for treati...

description The rise in number of infections from multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative microbes has led to an increase in the use of a variety of ‘polymyxins’ such as colistin. Even though colistin is known to cause minor nephro- and neuro-toxicity, it is still considered as last resort antibiotic for treating MDR infections. In this study, we have applied Raman spectroscopy to understand the differences among colistin sensitive and resistant bacterial strains at community level. We have successfully generated colistin resistant clones and verified the presence of resistance-causing MCR-1 plasmid. A unique spectral profile associated with specific drug concentration has been obtained. Successful delineation between resistant and sensitive cells has also been achieved via principal component analysis. Overall findings support the prospective utility of Raman spectroscopy in identifying anti-microbial resistance.
