INTRODUCTION: In the past few years, the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare has grown exponentially. Prescription of antibiotics is not exempt from its rapid diffusion, and various machine learning (ML) techniques, from logistic regression ...
BACKGROUND: Antibiotic resistance stands as a critical medical concern, notably evident in commonly prescribed beta-lactam antibiotics. The imperative need for expeditious and precise early detection methods underscores their role in facilitating tim...
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is widely used in clinical microbiology laboratories for bacterial identification but its use for detection of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains limited....
UNLABELLED: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a public health threat worldwide. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has opened unprecedented opportunities to accelerate AMR mechanism discovery and diagnostics. Here, we present an integrative approach to...
Clinical studies investigating the benefits of beta-lactam therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) among critically ill patients are hindered by small patient groups, variability between studies, patient heterogeneity, and inadequate use of TDM. Accordingl...
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) plays a critical role in assessing the resistance of individual microbial isolates and determining appropriate antimicrobial therapeutics in a timely manner. However, conventional AST normally takes up to 72...
The emergence of drug-resistant bacteria poses a significant challenge to modern medicine. In response, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms have emerged as powerful tools for combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Thi...
The misuse of tetracyclines in livestock production poses significant health risks. Thus, establishing convenient detection methods to replace complex laboratory tests for food safety is crucial. In this study, a heterostructure Zn-BTC/IRMOF-3 (denot...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The dosage of daptomycin is usually based on body weight. However, it has been shown that this approach yields too high an exposure in obese patients. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic indexes (PK/PD) have been proposed fo...

In this study, 80 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) and 160 carbapenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae (CS-KP) strains detected in the clinic were selected and their matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass s...
