Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Artificial Neural Networks Applied to Differentiate Escherichia coli papG+/papG- Strains

Fimbriae are an important pathogenic factor of Escherichia coli during development of urinary tract infections. Here, we describe a new method for identification of Escherichia coli papG+ from papG- strains using the attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared Spectroscopy (ATR FT-IR). W...
