The escalating global crisis of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria demands innovative strategies that bypass conventional antibiotic limitations. This study introduced a multifunctional Au@CuSe core-shell nanoplatform integrating artificial intellige...
BACKGROUND: Bacterial infections rank as the second leading cause of death globally, with virulence factors (VFs) being crucial to their pathogenicity. Predicting VFs accurately can uncover mechanisms of bacterial diseases and suggest new treatments....
UNLABELLED: Bloodstream infections (BSIs) have become increasingly challenging to treat due to emerging antimicrobial resistance (AMR). As rapid administration of appropriate antimicrobials is crucial to positive patient outcomes, clinical alternativ...
The challenge of assessing intracellular accumulation represents a major hurdle to the discovery of new antibiotics with Gram-negative activity. To address this, a high-throughput assay was developed to measure compound uptake and retention in Escher...
Rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (RAST) using disk diffusion (DD) from positive blood cultures (BC) can aid initiation of effective antimicrobial therapy. Rapid molecular blood culture identification panels (BCID) and microbiology laborator...

BACKGROUND: Blood stream infection (BSI) represent a life-threatening condition. Thus, we aimed to investigate the role of procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) tests in adult febrile patients with BSI and other clinical infections in hosp...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) presents a significant global challenge, creating an urgent need for rapid and sensitive antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) methods to guide timely treatment decisions. Traditional AST techniques, such as broth ...
Pathogenic gram-negative bacteria frequently carry genes encoding extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and/or carbapenemases. Of great concern are carbapenem resistant , , and . Despite the need for rapid AMR diagnostics globally, current molecu...
Assessing the visual accuracy of two large language models (LLMs) in microbial classification. GPT-4o and Gemini 1.5 Pro were evaluated in distinguishing Gram-positive from Gram-negative bacteria and classifying them as cocci or bacilli using 80 Gra...

BACKGROUND: Predicting whether Carbapenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacterial (CRGNB) cause bloodstream infection when giving advice may guide the use of antibiotics because it takes 2-5 days conventionally to return the results from doctor's order.
