Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Urinary tract infection is one of the most prevalent forms of bacterial infection, and prompt and efficient identification of pathogenic bacteria plays a pivotal role in the management of urinary tract infections. In this study, we propose a novel approach utilizing aptamer-functionalized graphene quantum dots integrated with an artificial intelligence detection system (AG-AI detection system) for rapid and highly sensitive detection of ().
