The application of machine learning techniques to innovative antibacterial discovery and development.

Expert opinion on drug discovery
INTRODUCTION: After the initial wave of antibiotic discovery, few novel classes of antibiotics have emerged, with the latest dating back to the 1980's. Furthermore, the pace of antibiotic drug discovery is unable to keep up with the increasing preval...

A biochemically-interpretable machine learning classifier for microbial GWAS.

Nature communications
Current machine learning classifiers have successfully been applied to whole-genome sequencing data to identify genetic determinants of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), but they lack causal interpretation. Here we present a metabolic model-based machi...

Using machine learning to optimize antibiotic combinations: dosing strategies for meropenem and polymyxin B against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.

Clinical microbiology and infection : the official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases
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...

Predicting antimicrobial resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa with machine learning-enabled molecular diagnostics.

EMBO molecular medicine
Limited therapy options due to antibiotic resistance underscore the need for optimization of current diagnostics. In some bacterial species, antimicrobial resistance can be unambiguously predicted based on their genome sequence. In this study, we seq...

Research Note: Longitudinal monitoring of chicken houses in a commercial layer farm for antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli with special reference to plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance.

Poultry science
Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes located on conjugative plasmids can be transferred to other bacteria in the absence of antimicrobial selective pressure. To elucidate the prevalence of resistance, including PMQR in an egg-producing ...

Emergence of mcr-1 mediated colistin resistant Escherichia coli from a hospitalized patient in Bangladesh.

Journal of infection in developing countries
INTRODUCTION: The emergence of plasmid mediated mcr in bacteria has become global public health threat. Herein, we report a mcr-1 positive E. coli in normal human flora from a patient admitted in Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).

Public Health and Epidemiology Informatics: Can Artificial Intelligence Help Future Global Challenges? An Overview of Antimicrobial Resistance and Impact of Climate Change in Disease Epidemiology.

Yearbook of medical informatics
OBJECTIVES: To provide an oveiview of the current application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of public health and epidemiology, with a special focus on antimicrobial resistance and the impact of climate change in disease epidemiology. B...

Biocide susceptibilities and biofilm-forming capacities of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates from Malaysia.

Journal of infection in developing countries
INTRODUCTION: Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative nosocomial pathogen that has the capacity to develop resistance to all classes of antimicrobial compounds. However, very little is known regarding its susceptibility to biocides (antiseptics an...

Identifying genetic determinants of complex phenotypes from whole genome sequence data.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: A critical goal in biology is to relate the phenotype to the genotype, that is, to find the genetic determinants of various traits. However, while simple monofactorial determinants are relatively easy to identify, the underpinnings of com...

Construction and optimization of a 'NG Morbidostat' - An automated continuous-culture device for studying the pathways towards antibiotic resistance in .

F1000Research
To obtain a detailed picture of the dynamics of antibiotic resistance development in , we built a morbidostat according to the protocol of Toprak ., adjusted to the specific characteristics required for the growth of . In this article we describe the...
