The prevalence and spread of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) is a global public health problem. This study aims to identify the risk factors of CRPA infection and construct a machine learning model to provide a prediction tool for ...
BACKGROUND: Bloodstream infection (BSI) is a systemic infection that predisposes individuals to sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Early identification of infectious agents and determination of drug-resistant phenotypes can help patients...

Infection caused by carbapenem-resistant (CR) organisms is a rising problem in the United States. While the risk factors for antibiotic resistance are well known, there remains a large need for the early identification of antibiotic-resistant infecti...
Information about the kinetics of PCR reactions is encoded in the amplification curve. However, in digital PCR (dPCR), this information is typically neglected by collapsing each amplification curve into a binary output (positive/negative). Here, we d...

OBJECTIVES: Increased rates of carbapenem-resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii have forced clinicians to rely upon last-line agents, such as the polymyxins, or empirical, unoptimized combination therapy. Therefore, the objectives of this stud...
BACKGROUND: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is emerging as a significant pathogen causing healthcare-associated infections. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS...
