The rapid development of deep learning has promoted its application in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis prediction. Medical imaging plays a crucial role in the management of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis/multidrug-resistant tuberculosi...
BACKGROUND: Early prediction of treatment outcomes for patients with multidrug-resistant or rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB) undergoing extended therapy is crucial for enhancing clinical prognoses and preventing the transmission of this ...
New solutions are needed to detect genotype-phenotype associations involved in microbial drug resistance. Herein, we describe a Group Association Model (GAM) that accurately identifies genetic variants linked to drug resistance and mitigates false-po...
BACKGROUND: Efforts toward tuberculosis management and control are challenged by the emergence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) resistance to existing anti-TB drugs. This study aimed to explore the potential of machine learning algorithms in predi...
Tuberculosis disease (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is a major global public health problem, resulting in > 1 million deaths each year. Drug resistance (DR), including the multi-drug form (MDR-TB), is challenging control of the dis...
The issue of multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) presents a substantial challenge to global public health. Regrettably, the diagnosis of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) frequently necessitates an extended period or more extensive laborator...
Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) and HIV coinfection present a conundrum to public health globally and the achievement of the global END TB strategy in 2035. A descriptive, retrospective review of medical records of patients, who were diagnosed wi...
BACKGROUND: Rifampicin resistant tuberculosis remains a global health problem with almost half a million new cases annually. In high-income countries patients empirically start a standardized treatment regimen, followed by an individualized regimen g...
There remains a clinical need for better approaches to rapid drug susceptibility testing in view of the increasing burden of multidrug resistant tuberculosis. Binary susceptibility phenotypes only capture changes in minimum inhibitory concentration w...
