Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) E. coli (ATCC 25922); ( b ) clinical isolate of imipenem-resistant E. coli with (red curves) and without (black curves) imipenem treatment; ( c ) signal ratio of 654-cm −1 SERS peak ( r 654 ) of E. coli (ATCC 25922) as a function of imipenem treatment time; ( d ) r 654 of imipenem-resistant E. coli as a function of imipenem treatment time; ( e ) signal ratio of 724-cm −1 SERS peak ( r 724 ) of E. coli (ATCC 25922) as a function of imipenem treatment time; ( f ) r 724 of imipenem-resistant E. coli as a function of imipenem treatment time. Black and red curves represent the mean SERS spectra, while gray and light red curves represent their corresponding standard deviation.

Article Snippet: Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29213) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922 and ATCC 35218) were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC).

Figure Lengend Snippet: After being treated by antibiotics for 0, 0.5, 1 and 2 hours, the bacteria were stained with PI (fluorescing red) and SYTO 9 (fluorescing green). BF: bright-field image; FL: fluorescence image. ( a ) S. aureus (ATCC 29213) treated with oxacillin; ( b ) E. coli (ATCC 25922) treated with imipenem; ( c ) percentage of dead bacteria ( f dead ): S. aureus (black columns) and E. coli (gray columns). f dead = N r /( N g + N r − N g + r ), where N r is the count of the red signatures, N g is the count of the green signatures, and N g + r is the count that the green and red signatures overlap. The scale bars represent 20 μ m.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Signal ratio of 730-cm −1 SERS peak ( r 730 ) of S. aureus versus vancomycin treatment time at concentrations of 0.5 μ g/ml (light gray columns), 1 μ g/ml (gray columns), and 2 μ g/ml (black columns); ( b , c ) signal ratios of 654-cm −1 SERS peak ( r 654 ) and 724-cm −1 SERS peak ( r 724 ) of E. coli , respectively, versus imipenem treatment time at concentrations of 0.03 μ g/ml (light gray columns), 0.06 μ g/ml (gray columns), and 0.12 μ g/ml (black columns).
