Bacterial infection is a frequent complication among trauma and surgical patients, both civilian and military.  The rate of infectious complications in the U. S. military is approximately 35 percent for combat casualties.  The lack of a rapid diagnostic platform for the detection of bacterial and fungal infections in combat wounds result in mortality and extended stays in Intensive Care Units. The methods currently available are time consuming, lack sensitivity, require specialized equipment, and highly trained personnel.
