Scientists at Cornell and General Electric report that 32 pure bacterial strains show distinct metabolic patterns, enabling rapid identification by standard lab instruments. The approach could shorten TB analysis, aid disease diagnosis, and support water and air safety monitoring.

Sensoring attachments record passages and a graph shows the germ's fingerprint by letters for each metabolic component in decreasing quantity. All 32 strains studied had distinctive signatures. Researchers aim to identify species and strains from signatures and apply the method to mixed bacteria and later to viruses.
