Resistant/susceptible classification of respiratory tract pathogenic bacteria based on volatile organic compounds profiling.

This study demonstrated that resistant strains of bacteria produced VOCs that were different from those of the standard strains. In addition, VOCs released by bacteria after passing the logarithmic growth phase showed no significant differences. The identification of VOCs can be a precise way to differentiate bacterial species, also it can be said that the VOCs produced by different pathogenic microorganisms can be the suitable biomarkers for their detection.
