The role of artificial intelligence in the battle against antimicrobial-resistant bacteria.

Current genetics
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria is a global health crisis due to the rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria and the lengthy development of new antimicrobials. In light of this, artificial intelligence in the form of machine learni...

Hg(II) sensing, catalytic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer potential of Garcinia mangostana and α-mangostin mediated silver nanoparticles.

Chemosphere
This study reports synthesis of Garcinia mangostana fruit pericarp (unwanted waste material) and α-mangostin mediated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). These AgNPs were efficiently produced using 1:10 (extract and salt) ratio under stirring and heating, ...

Fusaroxazin, a novel cytotoxic and antimicrobial xanthone derivative from .

Natural product research
Oxazines and their derivatives are an uncommon natural heterocyclic compounds, which contain oxygen and nitrogen atoms and possess various bioactivities. A novel 1,4-oxazine-xanthone derivative, fusarioxazin () and three known sterols () were separat...

A Study of the Chemistries, Growth Mechanisms, and Antibacterial Properties of Cerium- and Yttrium-Containing Nanoparticles.

ACS biomaterials science & engineering
Under the current climate, physicians prescribe antibiotics for treating bacterial infections, and such a limitation to a single class of drugs is disadvantageous since antibiotic-resistant bacteria have adapted to withstanding their stresses. Antibi...

Essential oils against bacterial isolates from cystic fibrosis patients by means of antimicrobial and unsupervised machine learning approaches.

Scientific reports
Recurrent and chronic respiratory tract infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients result in progressive lung damage and represent the primary cause of morbidity and mortality. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the earliest bacteria in CF ...

Self-Assembled Polyurethane Capsules with Selective Antimicrobial Activity against Gram-Negative .

ACS biomaterials science & engineering
This article reports the antimicrobial activity of two segmented amphiphilic polyurethanes, PU-1 and PU-2, containing a primary or secondary amine group, respectively. In acidic water, intrachain H-bonding among the urethanes followed by hierarchical...

Identifying predictors of antimicrobial exposure in hospitalized patients using a machine learning approach.

Journal of applied microbiology
AIMS: Analysis and tracking of antimicrobial utilization (AU) are crucial in antimicrobial stewardship efforts which are used to find effective interventions for controlling antimicrobial resistance. In antimicrobial stewardship, standard risk adjust...

Same-day antimicrobial susceptibility test using acoustic-enhanced flow cytometry visualized with supervised machine learning.

Journal of medical microbiology
Antimicrobial susceptibility is slow to determine, taking several days to fully impact treatment. This proof-of-concept study assessed the feasibility of using machine-learning techniques for analysis of data produced by the flow cytometer-assisted ...

Machine learning for clinical decision support in infectious diseases: a narrative review of current applications.

Clinical microbiology and infection : the official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases
BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) is a growing field in medicine. This narrative review describes the current body of literature on ML for clinical decision support in infectious diseases (ID).

Using natural language processing and VetCompass to understand antimicrobial usage patterns in Australia.

Australian veterinary journal
BACKGROUND: Currently there is an incomplete understanding of antimicrobial usage patterns in veterinary clinics in Australia, but such knowledge is critical for the successful implementation and monitoring of antimicrobial stewardship programs.
