Among the most prevalent and detrimental bacteria causing urinary tract infections (UTIs) is Klebsiella (K.) pneumoniae. A rapid determination of its antibiotic susceptibility can enhance patient treatment and mitigate the spread of resistant strains. In this study, we assessed the viability of using infrared spectroscopy-based machine learning as a rapid and precise approach for detecting K. pneumoniae bacteria and determining its susceptibility to various antibiotics directly from a patient's urine sample. In this study, 2333 bacterial samples, including 636 K. pneumoniae were investigated using infrared micro-spectroscopy. The obtained spectra (27996spectra) were analyzed with XGBoost classifier, achieving a success rate exceeding 95 % for identifying K. pneumoniae. Moreover, this method allows for the simultaneous determination of K. pneumoniae susceptibility to various antibiotics with sensitivities ranging between 74 % and 81 % within approximately 40 min after receiving the patient's urine sample.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a major pathogen associated conditions like septicaemia, respiratory disorders, and diarrhoea in poultry, particularly in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). The infection causes huge economical losses due to its high transmissibility, mortality and zoonotic potential.

Objectives: Neonatal sepsis is one of the causes of neonatal mortality and bacterial resistance to antibiotics is one of the challenges facing NICU. The aim of this study was to provide a basis for empirical antibiotic selection by comprehensively searching Chinese and non-Chinese databases for studies related to neonatal sepsis pathogenesis conducted in China and synthesizing all the results of the studies conducted in hospitals in China during the period under study METHODS: In this study, we conducted extensive searches of Pubmed, Web of Science, Cochrane, China Biology Medicine disc (SinoMed), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang Data. We screened studies published from 2014 to 2023 that were conducted in hospitals in mainland China and involved bacterial blood cultures and susceptibility tests in neonates with neonatal sepsis and extracted the data, which were summarized using Stata 18.

Background: Rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an acute public health emergency impeding the clinical efficacy of surgical interventions. Biliary stent placement is one of the routine surgical procedures that rarely lead to infections that are empirically managed by broad-spectrum β-lactams and fluoroquinolones. Critical priority pathogens, such as carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli challenge treatment outcomes and infection prevention.

Unlabelled: is a ubiquitous environmental pathogen. Despite its remarkable adaptability, little is known about the mechanisms of stress resistance in this bacterium. Here, in a screen for iron-susceptible transposon mutants, we identified a cytochrome that protects against multiple stresses.
