A Robust Machine Learning Method for Mycobacterium abscessus Typing

Posted on by cloverbio_webadmin

A new machine learning system correctly identifies Mycobacterium abscessus subspecies 97% of the time using MALDI-TOF mass spectra gathered from six European countries. This study is led by E. Padial-Fuillerat and stems from a collaboration between the University of Granada, Hospital Gregorio Marañón and Clover Biosoft. It has been published as open access in the Read more about A Robust Machine Learning Method for <em>Mycobacterium abscessus</em> Typing[…]

Machine Learning in predicting antimicrobial resistance (AMR)

Posted on by cloverbio_webadmin

Recently, Rui et al. published the journal pre-proof of their review “Machine learning in predicting antimicrobial resistance: a systematic review and meta-analysis” which will be published in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents. In their publication they used a substantial amount of literature to review and summarize the most used Machine Learning (ML) algorithms and Read more about Machine Learning in predicting antimicrobial resistance (AMR)[…]

The ESKAPE bacteria group and its clinical importance

Posted on by cloverbio_webadmin

Author: Manuel J. Arroyo Pulgar Health care-associated infections (HAIs) occur when receiving health care for another condition [1]. These infections can happen in any health-care facility and can be caused by any pathogen. A bigger problem in these HAIs is when the pathogen that caused the infection has an antibiotic resistance, something we talked about Read more about The ESKAPE bacteria group and its clinical importance[…]

Posted on by cloverbio_webadmin

Authors: Manuel J. Arroyo Pulgar, Verónica Sánchez Mercado Listeriosis is an infection caused by a pathogenic bacterium called Listeria monocytogenes. Is one of the most virulent foodborne pathogens and in hight-risk individuals like pregnant women, older adults and people whose immune systems are compromised. In these population, the infection can be mortal and, in the Read more about Health alert in Spain issued by Listeria monocytogenes[…]
