Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are highly prevalent bacterial infections that pose significant health risks. Specific probiotic strains have been recommended for UTI control and management of antibiotic resistance. Otherwise, para-probiotics, define...
Microorganisms growing in their habitat constitute a complex system. How the individual constituents of the environment contribute to microbial growth remains largely unknown. The present study focused on the contribution of environmental constituent...
The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest public health challenges, already causing up to 1.2 million deaths annually and rising. Current culture-based turnaround times for bacterial identification in clinical samples and anti...
BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial stewardship focuses on identifying patients who require extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-targeted therapy. 'Rule-in' tools have been researched extensively in areas of low endemicity; however, such tools are inadequat...
This study addresses the challenge of accurately diagnosing sepsis subtypes in elderly patients, particularly distinguishing between Escherichia coli (E. coli) and non-E. coli infections. Utilizing machine learning, we conducted a retrospective analy...
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...

Accurate identification of bacterial strains in clinical samples is essential to provide an appropriate antibiotherapy to the patient and reduce the prescription of broad-spectrum antimicrobials, leading to antibiotic resistance. In this study, we ut...

OBJECTIVES: Urinary tract infection is one of the most prevalent forms of bacterial infection, and prompt and efficient identification of pathogenic bacteria plays a pivotal role in the management of urinary tract infections. In this study, we propos...
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...
BACKGROUND: Heteroresistance (HR) is a significant type of antibiotic resistance observed for several bacterial species and antibiotic classes where a susceptible main population contains small subpopulations of resistant cells. Mathematical models, ...
