Proof of Principle for a Real-Time Pathogen Isolation Media Diagnostic: The Use of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy to Discriminate Bacterial Pathogens and Antimicrobial-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Strains Grown on Blood Agar

<table>(a), (b) Examples of LIBS spectra used to create a discrimination model for <i>E. coli</i> and <i>S. aureus</i>. (c) The two-dimensional score space plot for the resulting model showing discrimination between the sample types. (d) The prediction values obtained by testing the model with the verification spectra.</table>
