We present a deep learning-aided imaging system for early detection and classification of live bacterial colonies by capturing time-lapse holographic images of an agar plate and analyzing these images using deep neural networks. We blindly tested our system by identifying Escherichia coli and total coliform bacteria in spiked water samples and successfully detected 90% of the bacterial colonies within 7-10 h, while keeping 99.2~100% precision. We further classified the corresponding species within 7.6-12 h of incubation with 80% accuracy, which represents >12 h time-savings. Our system also achieved a limit-of-detection of ~1 CFU/L within 9 h of total test time.
