Comparison of population pharmacokinetic modeling and machine learning approaches for predicting voriconazole trough concentrations in critically ill patients.

International journal of antimicrobial agents
BACKGROUND: Despite the widespread use of voriconazole in antifungal treatment, its high pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic variability may lead to suboptimal efficacy, especially in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Machine learning (ML), an arti...

Novel active Trp- and Arg-rich antimicrobial peptides with high solubility and low red blood cell toxicity designed using machine learning tools.

International journal of antimicrobial agents
BACKGROUND: Given the rising number of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, there is a need to design synthetic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that are highly active, non-hemolytic, and highly soluble. Machine learning tools allow the straightforward i...

Machine learning accelerates the discovery of epitope-based dual-bioactive peptides against skin infections.

International journal of antimicrobial agents
OBJECTIVES: Skin injuries and infections are an inevitable part of daily human life, particularly with chronic wounds, becoming an increasing socioeconomic burden. In treating skin infections and promoting wound healing, bioactive peptides may hold s...

Machine learning algorithms to predict colistin-induced nephrotoxicity from electronic health records in patients with multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infection.

International journal of antimicrobial agents
OBJECTIVES: Colistin-induced nephrotoxicity prolongs hospitalisation and increases mortality. The study aimed to construct machine learning models to predict colistin-induced nephrotoxicity in patients with multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infection...

Antibiotic combinations prediction based on machine learning to multicentre clinical data and drug interaction correlation.

International journal of antimicrobial agents
BACKGROUND: With increasing antibiotic resistance and regulation, the issue of antibiotic combination has been emphasised. However, antibiotic combination prescribing lacks a rapid identification of feasibility, while its risk of drug interactions is...

Dalbavancin in-vitro activity obtained against Gram-positive clinical isolates causing bone and joint infections in US and European hospitals (2011-2016).

International journal of antimicrobial agents
BACKGROUND: Osteomyelitis is a difficult-to-treat infection that regularly involves prolonged use of systemic antibiotics. Dalbavancin has demonstrated activity against Gram-positive isolates, and has been considered as a candidate for the treatment ...

Population pharmacokinetics of continuous infusion of piperacillin in critically ill patients.

International journal of antimicrobial agents
Dosing recommendations for continuous infusion of piperacillin, a broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic, are mainly guided by outputs from population pharmacokinetic models constructed with intermittent infusion data. However, the probability of targ...

Efavirenz pharmacogenetics in a cohort of Italian patients.

International journal of antimicrobial agents
The pharmacogenetics and pharmacokinetics of efavirenz (EFV) have been widely studied, although data in the Italian population are limited. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CYP2B6 gene have been associated with increased EFV plasma conce...
