Applicability of Raman Spectroscopy for Characterization of Three Major Foodborne Pathogens

Abstract

Due to its fastness, low-cost, and non-destructive features, the Raman spectroscopy has been found as a useful method to detect and identify microorganisms. In the present paper, the Raman spectral fingerprints of three major foodborne pathogens, including Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus were compared for the possible usefulness of this method for identification. Bacterial cultures grown into tryptic soy broth were inactivated with formaldehyde solution, and then freeze dried for analysis. A Renishaw Raman spectrometer system equipped with DDC camera and a Leica microscope was used in this study. Visual examination of the spectra showed significant differences. For example, intensity of bands around 856 and 877 cm-1 was much stronger in the spectra of S. aureus when compared to Gram negative organisms. In addition, the band at 917 cm-1 was only present in the spectra of S. typhimurium. It can be said that the Raman spectroscopy provides a powerful tool for the identification of foodborne pathogens at genus level, yet more research needs to be done to standardize the method for correct identification at species level.
