Abstract
The invention relates to a method for typing or identification of a micro-organism using vibrational spectroscopy, characterised in that, differences in one or more vibrational spectroscopic signal contributions from one or more bleachable components between different spectra obtained of a sample of said micro-organism, and/or between spectra of different samples of said micro-organism, and/or between spectra of samples of different micro-organisms, are substantially eliminated as a source of signal variance in a dataset of said spectra, said bleachable components being molecules possessing vibrational spectral bands that upon exposure to light show a reduction in signal intensity.
