Rapid screening of bacteriostatic and bactericidal antimicrobial agents against Escherichia coli by combining machine learning (artificial intelligence) and UV-VIS spectroscopy

A standard UV-Vis spectrophotometer, chemometrics, and machine learning algorithms enables faster identification of bacteriostatic and bactericidal mechanisms. Compared to traditional methods, this approach accelerates the evaluation of tetracycline and amoxicillin on E. coli .
