BACKGROUND: The rising prevalence and swift spread of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB), especially Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP), present a critical global health threat highlighted by the World Health Organization, with mortality ra...
Antimicrobials, such as antibiotics or antivirals are medications employed to prevent and treat infectious diseases in humans, animals, and plants. Antimicrobial Resistance occurs when bacteria, viruses, and parasites no longer respond to these medic...
At present, the diagnosis of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) is difficult, and there is an urgent need for better diagnostic methods. This study enrolled 136 patients from 2020 to 2021 and collected bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) spec...

BACKGROUND: Effective and rapid diagnostic strategies are required to manage antibiotic resistance in Klebsiella pneumonia (KP). This study aimed to design an artificial intelligence-clinical decision support system (AI-CDSS) using matrix-assisted la...
The ESKAPE family, comprising Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp., poses a significant global threat due to their heightened virulence and extensiv...

In this study, 80 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) and 160 carbapenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae (CS-KP) strains detected in the clinic were selected and their matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass s...
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a type of Gram-negative bacterium which can cause a range of infections in human. In recent years, an increasing number of strains of K. pneumoniae resistant to multiple antibiotics have emerged, posing a significant threat t...

The worldwide spread of the metallo-β-lactamases (MBL), especially New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1), is threatening the efficacy of β-lactams, which are the most potent and prescribed class of antibiotics in the clinic. Currently, FDA-approved...
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...
PURPOSE: This study assesses the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural network, complemented by other Machine Learning techniques (CART, PCA), in predicting the antimicrobial activity of 140 newly designed imidazolium chlorides against Klebsiella pneumo...
