Photosynthetic bacteria (PSB) excel in wastewater treatment by removing pollutants and generating biomass but are challenging to optimize due to complex operational and environmental interactions. Neural Ordinary Differential Equations, Elastic Net, ...
The types and quantities of microorganisms in activated sludge are directly related to the stability and efficiency of sewage treatment systems. This paper proposes a sludge microorganism detection method based on microscopic phase contrast image opt...

BACKGROUND: Twelve bacterial families identified as global priority pathogens (GPPs) pose the greatest threat to human health due to declining antibiotic efficacy. Robotics, a swift and contactless tool for disinfecting hospital surfaces, was sought ...
Mass production of biomedical microrobots demands expensive and complex preparation techniques and versatile biocompatible materials. Learning from natural bacteria flagella, the study demonstrates a magnetic polymer multilayer cylindrical microrobot...

INTRODUCTION: Accurately assessing biofilm viability is essential for evaluating both biofilm formation and the efficacy of antibacterial treatments. Traditional SYTO9 and propidium iodide (PI) live/dead staining in biofilm viability assays often ace...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a promising approach to identify new antimicrobial compounds in diverse microbial species. Here we developed an AI-based, explainable deep learning model, EvoGradient, that predicts the potency of antimicrobial peptide...
Although wastewater-based epidemiology has been used extensively for the surveillance of viral diseases, it has not been used to a similar extent for bacterial diseases. This is in part owing to difficulties in distinguishing pathogenic from nonpatho...

BACKGROUND: Though droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) has emerged as a promising tool for early pathogen detection in bloodstream infections (BSIs), more studies are needed to support its clinical application widely due to different ddPCR platforms with dis...
Gram staining has been a frequently used staining protocol in microbiology. It is vulnerable to staining artifacts due to, e.g., operator errors and chemical variations. Here, we introduce virtual Gram staining of label-free bacteria using a trained ...
Pathogenic bioaerosols are critical for outbreaks of airborne disease; however, rapidly and accurately identifying pathogens directly from complex air environments remains highly challenging. We present an advanced method that combines open-set deep ...
