Prediction of antimicrobial resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae from genomic data through machine learning.

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 medicines. This resistance renders antibiotics and other antimicrobial drugs ineffective, making infections challenging or impossible to treat.
