Vancomycin resistance in gram-positive infections: evolutionary strategies of survival.

Archives of microbiology Jan 21, 2026

Vancomycin is a critical glycopeptide antibiotic for treating severe infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, particularly MRSA and Clostridioides difficile, by inhibiting cell wall synthesis through binding to D-Ala-D-Ala termini of peptidoglyca... read more

Elucidating the link between NS-SNP-Induced protein conformational changes and drug resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Archives of microbiology Jan 21, 2026

The escalating drug-resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), a leading cause of both community-acquired and nosocomial infections, poses a severe threat to global public health. While non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (NS-SNP... read more

A novel graph convolutional neural network on K neighbors model for fine-grained air pollution distribution mapping based on sparse monitoring.

Environmental monitoring and assessment Jan 21, 2026

This article aims to predict the concentration of air pollutants at any unmonitored location based on sparse monitoring points in the monitoring area, thereby achieving the goal of fine-grained air pollution mapping. To learn the spatial distribution... read more

Machine learning-driven prediction model for successful weaning of patients from mechanical ventilation in ICU.

Intensive care medicine experimental Jan 21, 2026

BACKGROUND: Mechanical ventilation is a critical life support technology in the intensive care unit. However, the weaning process remains complex, making the optimal timing for liberation from ventilation challenging to ascertain and imposing a consi... read more
