BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization has identified Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (SM) as a high-risk antibiotic-resistant pathogen. Notably, determining the effectiveness of current antibiotics against SM is challenging, leading to improper ther...
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...

BACKGROUND: Infections caused by carbapenem resistant gram-negative bacilli (CRGNB) are associated with high mortality and pose a great challenge for clinical treatment. We aim to identify patients at high risk for CRGNB as early as possible and aler...
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...
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...

OBJECTIVES: The World Health Organization named Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (SM) a critical multi-drug resistant threat, necessitating rapid diagnostic strategies. Traditional culturing methods require up to 96 h, including 72 h for bacterial growth...

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.

OBJECTIVES: Colistin-induced nephrotoxicity prolongs hospitalisation and increases mortality. The study aimed to construct machine learning models to predict colistin-induced nephrotoxicity in patients with multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infection...
Sepsis is a high-mortality disease that is infected by bacteria, but pathogens in individual patients are difficult to diagnosis. Metabolomic changes triggered by microbial activity provide us with the possibility of accurately identifying infection....
