INTRODUCTION: The liberal use of blood cultures in emergency departments (EDs) leads to low yields and high numbers of false-positive results. False-positive, contaminated cultures are associated with prolonged hospital stays, increased antibiotic us...
The overuse and misuse of tetracycline (TCs) antibiotics, including tetracycline (TTC), oxytetracycline (OTC), doxycycline (DC), and chlortetracycline (CTC), pose a serious threat to human health. However, current rapid sensing platforms for tetracyc...
BACKGROUND: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) can prolong hospitalization, increase medical costs, and even lead to higher mortality rates. Therefore, it is essential to predict the incidence of AAD in elderly intensive care unit(ICU) patients. Th...
