Allplex Bacterial vaginosis assay (Seegene, South Korea) is a molecular test for bacterial vaginosis (BV). A machine learning algorithm was devised on 200 samples (BV = 23, non-BV = 177) converting 7 identified bacterial strains polymerase chain reac...
OBJECTIVE: To propose a preliminary artificial intelligence model, based on artificial neural networks, for predicting the risk of nosocomial infection at intensive care units.
BACKGROUND: Paro and other robot animals can improve wellbeing for older adults and people with dementia, through reducing depression, agitation and medication use. However, nursing and care staff we contacted expressed infection control concerns. Li...
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...
BACKGROUND: The over-use of antibiotics in clinical domains is causing an alarming increase in bacterial resistance, thus endangering their effectiveness as regards the treatment of highly recurring severe infectious diseases. Whilst Clinical Guideli...

BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) is increasingly being used in many areas of health care. Its use in infection management is catching up as identified in a recent review in this journal. We present here a complementary review to this work.
BACKGROUND: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are the most frequent adverse events in healthcare and a global public health concern. Surveillance is the foundation for effective HAIs prevention and control. Manual surveillance is labor intensiv...
BACKGROUND: infection (CDI) is now the most common cause of healthcare-associated infections, with increasing prevalence, severity, and mortality of nosocomial and community-acquired CDI which makes up approximately one third of all CDI. There are a...
