Abstract: 
Our research introduces a novel approach to classify bacteria as Gram-positive or Gram-negative using few-shot learning. We employ deep neural networks, specifically Prototypical Networks, to learn distinctive features from bacterial images, enabling accurate classification even with limited data. Experimental results on diverse datasets demonstrate the model's effectiveness and potential for real-world applications in microbiology and healthcare. We also address interpretability, ethics, and data privacy, making it a valuable tool for bacterial classification and diagnostics.
