BACKGROUND: Despite advancements in antimicrobial therapies, bacteremia remains a life-threatening condition. Appropriate antimicrobials must be promptly administered to ensure patient survival. However, diagnosing bacteremia based on blood cultures ...
BACKGROUND: Invasive Escherichia coli disease (IED), also known as invasive extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli disease, is a leading cause of sepsis and bacteremia in older adults that can result in hospitalization and sometimes death and is frequent...
BACKGROUND: The exponential growth in computing power and the increasing digitization of information have substantially advanced the machine learning (ML) research field. However, ML algorithms are often considered "black boxes," and this fosters dis...
