An alternative bioinformatics approach based on fuzzy theory statistics and linear discriminant analysis is proposed for the interpretation of MALDI MS spectra in peptide profiling. When applied, the methodology enables the establishment of a reprodu...
OBJECTIVES: Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) is a major public health concern because of its genotypic diversity and association with severe infections, particularly those caused by strains carrying Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL). This study aimed to...
Klebsiella species, including Klebsiella pneumoniae and Klebsiella quasipneumoniae, present significant challenges in clinical microbiology due to their genetic similarity, which complicates accurate species identification using established methods, ...

OBJECTIVES: The World Health Organization has identified Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) as significant public health threats owing to high antibiotic resistance. Traditional antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) methods,...
Use matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to screen the specific mass peaks of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP), compare the differences in spectrum peaks between intestinal and b...
Carbapenem resistance and hypervirulence represent two distinct evolutionary pathways in , posing significant challenges in clinical settings. Of particular concern are convergent strains that combine both traits, complicating timely diagnosis and tr...
Infertility is a significant challenge faced by many families worldwide, with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) being a prevalent cause of infertility among women. This condition causes immense emotional and physical distress for affected individuals an...

Although MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS) is considered as the gold standard for rapid and cost-effective identification of microorganisms in routine laboratory practices, its capability for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) detection has received limit...
Mycobacterium abscessus (MABS) displays differential subspecies susceptibility to macrolides. Thus, identifying MABS's subspecies (M. abscessus, M. bolletii and M. massiliense) is a clinical necessity for guiding treatment decisions. We aimed to asse...
