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...

BACKGROUND: There are limited data about Xpert-Ultra performance in different settings, in HIV-infected persons, in those with a history of previous TB, and with trace readouts.
Tuberculosis (TB), an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb), causes highest number of deaths globally for any bacterial disease necessitating novel diagnosis and treatment strategies. High-throughput sequencing methods genera...
In general, chest radiographs (CXR) have high sensitivity and moderate specificity for active pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) screening when interpreted by human readers. However, they are challenging to scale due to hardware costs and the dearth of pro...
We applied genetic programming approaches to understand the impact of descriptors on inhibitory effects of serine protease inhibitors of () and the discovery of new inhibitors as drug candidates. The experimental dataset of serine protease inhibit...

Tuberculosis remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases worldwide. Only 5-15% of people infected with develop active TB disease (ATB), while others remain latently infected (LTBI) during their lifetime, which has a completely different clinica...
Deep learning (DL) neural networks have only recently been employed to interpret chest radiography (CXR) to screen and triage people for pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). No published studies have compared multiple DL systems and populations. We conducted...
Secretory proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis have created more concern, given their dominant immunogenicity and role in pathogenesis. In view of expensive and time-consuming traditional biochemical experiments, an advanced support vector machine ...
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of multidrug resistant and extensively drug resistant tuberculosis is a global health priority. Whole genome sequencing of clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates promises to circumvent the long wait times and limited s...
Tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality from infectious disease in developing countries. The sputum smear microscopy remains the primary diagnostic laboratory test. However, microscopic examination is always time-consum...
