Abstract
Bacterial infections, increasingly resistant to common antibiotics, pose a global health challenge. Traditional diagnostics often depend on slow cell culturing, leading to empirical treatments that accelerate antibiotic resistance. We present a novel large-volume microscopy (LVM) system for rapid, point-of-care bacterial detection. This system, using low magnification (1-2×), visualizes sufficient sample volumes, eliminating the need for culture-based enrichment. Employing deep neural networks, our model demonstrates superior accuracy in detecting uropathogenic Escherichia coli compared to traditional machine learning methods. Future endeavors will focus on enriching our datasets with mixed samples and a broader spectrum of uropathogens, aiming to extend the applicability of our model to clinical samples.
