Abstract: The invention provides a method for rapid detection of a specific bacterial species. The method includes preparing a sample, irradiating the prepared sample with an electromagnetic radiation of specific wavelength, capturing the electromagnetic radiation scattered by the sample to obtain a Raman spectra and analyzing the Raman spectra to obtain a unique biochemical signature. The unique biochemical signature identifies a single bacterium within the sample. The method also provides for rapid detection of a group of bacterial species within the sample. The method takes about 1 minute to about 1 hour for the detection of specific bacterial species.
