The fiber-optic tube can appear inside 60 seconds whether a patient should be treated with the medications.
It is trusted the Proteus innovation could handle the development of microbes that are impervious to anti-microbials.
The venture has been produced by researchers at the colleges of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt and Bath.
Proteus has gotten £2m of financing from the Wellcome Trust.
It will likewise be supported by almost £1m from the CARB-X anti-microbial resistance extend co-subsidized by the US government and Wellcome.
Proteus utilizes chemicals that illuminate when they connect to particular sorts of bacterial contamination.
This fluorescence is distinguished utilizing fiber-optic tubes that are sufficiently little to be strung somewhere inside patients' lungs.
'Potential symptoms'
The exploration group trust it could "change the way fundamentally sick patients and others with long haul lung conditions are evaluated and treated".
Specialists at present depend on X-beams and blood tests for determination, however these can be moderate and uncertain.
Patients are regularly regarded with anti-infection agents as a precautionary measure, which opens them to potential symptoms.
Dr Kev Dhaliwal, who is driving the venture at the University of Edinburgh, stated: "We have to comprehend malady in patients better with the goal that we can settle on better choices at the bedside.
"The Proteus extend and clinical accomplices unites researchers and clinicians from many controls from all sides of the United Kingdom to create innovation that can help us spot illness progressively at the bedside and help us to give the correct medications at the ideal time.
"The ascent of antimicrobial resistance is the greatest test in present day medication and the support from CARB-X will quicken improvement of Proteus innovation to be prepared for clinical utilize speedier and more generally than already conceivable."
Tim Jinks, of the Wellcome Trust, stated: "Medication safe contamination is as of now an immense worldwide wellbeing challenge - and it will deteriorate.
"We require worldwide forces to cooperate on various fronts - from the earliest starting point to the finish of the medication and analytic advancement pipeline."
