AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Objectives: This review summarizes the current and potential uses of artificial intelligence (AI) in the current state of clinical microbiology with a focus on replacement of labor-intensive tasks.
Methods: A search was conducted on PubMed using the key terms clinical microbiology and artificial intelligence. Studies were reviewed for relevance to clinical microbiology, current diagnostic techniques, and potential advantages of AI in routine microbiology workflows.
Results: Numerous studies highlight potential labor, as well as diagnostic accuracy, benefits to the implementation of AI for slide-based and macroscopic digital image analyses. These range from Gram stain interpretation to categorization and quantitation of culture growth.
Conclusions: Artificial intelligence applications in clinical microbiology significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency, offering promising solutions to labor-intensive tasks and staffing shortages. More research efforts and US Food and Drug Administration clearance are still required to fully incorporate these AI applications into routine clinical laboratory practices.

This review explores the bidirectional relationship between the human microbiome and SARS-CoV-2 infection, elucidating its implications for COVID-19 susceptibility, severity, and therapeutic strategies. Metagenomic analyses reveal notable alterations in microbiome composition associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, impacting disease severity and clinical outcomes. Dysbiosis within the respiratory, gastrointestinal, oral, and skin microbiomes exacerbates COVID-19 pathology through immune dysregulation and inflammatory pathways.

Aim: This research aimed to develop novel indole-2-carboxamides as potential antitubercular agents using rational drug design. It also focused on identifying the critical interactions required for these compounds to exhibit effective antitubercular activity.
Materials And Methods: Novel indole-2-carboxamides targeting MmpL3 were designed based on SAR, synthesized, and tested for their antitubercular and induction properties.

Background: The consumption of ultra-processed foods has increased significantly worldwide and is associated with the rise in inflammatory bowel diseases. However, any causative factors and their underlying mechanisms are yet to be identified. This study aimed to further elucidate whether different types of the dietary emulsifier carrageenan (CGN) can alter the permeability and inflammatory state of the intestinal epithelium.

Background: Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a common but underdiagnosed and undertreated health condition and is the leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) worldwide. HBV (rated a Grade 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer) drives the transformation of hepatocytes in multiple ways by inducing viral DNA integrations, genetic dysregulation, chromosomal translocations, chronic inflammation, and oncogenic pathways facilitated by some HBV proteins. Importantly, these mechanisms are active throughout all phases of HBV infection.

Background: is a transmitted respiratory pathogen that causes high morbidity and mortality in children, especially those under 5 years of age. During the implementation of population control measures for COVID-19 in mainland China, the detection rate in pediatric patients decreased. However, with the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic (2022), the incidence of pneumococcal disease (PD) and even invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) began to rise again.
