Here, we report a label-free surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) method for the rapid and accurate identification of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) based on aptamer-guided AgNP enhancement and convolutional neural network (CNN) classification. Sixty clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ), comprising 30 strains of MSSA and 30 strains of MRSA were used to build the CNN classification model. The developed method exhibited 100% identification accuracy for MSSA and MRSA, and is thus a promising tool for the rapid detection of drug-sensitive and drug-resistant bacterial strains.
