UNLABELLED: Antimicrobial resistance is an escalating global health crisis, underscoring the urgent need for timely and targeted therapies to ensure effective clinical treatment. We developed a machine learning model based on metagenomic next-generat...
Patients with positive blood cultures in the intensive care unit (ICU) are at high risk for septic acute kidney injury requiring continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT), especially when treated with vancomycin. This study developed a machine lea...
Drowning incidents present significant challenges for forensic investigators in determining the exact site of occurrence. Traditional forensic methods often rely on physical evidence and circumstantial clues, but the emerging field of forensic microb...
UNLABELLED: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a prevalent fungal ailment affecting women globally. Timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial. Traditional methods, relying on clinical evaluation and manual microscopic examination, have limitations. Art...
The Nugent score is a commonly used diagnostic tool for bacterial vaginosis. However, its accuracy depends on the skills of laboratory technicians. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of deep learning models in predicting the Nugent score to...
UNLABELLED: is an important bacterial species used as a starter culture for fermented foods; however, two subspecies within this species exhibit different properties in the foods. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spect...
Gut microbiota has demonstrated an increasingly important role in the onset and development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Nonetheless, the association between gut microbiota and KRAS mutation in CRC remains enigmatic. We conducted 16S rRNA sequencing o...
UNLABELLED: Effective policy to address the global threat of antimicrobial resistance requires robust antimicrobial susceptibility data. Traditional methods for measuring minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) are resource intensive, subject to human...
Understanding the interactions between microorganisms and their impact on bacterial behavior at the community level is a key research topic in microbiology. Different methods, relying on experimental or mathematical approaches based on the diverse pr...
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) could aid the diagnosis of acute respiratory infections (ARIs) owing to its affordability and high-throughput capacity. MALDI-TOF MS has been proposed for use...
