Consumption of antimicrobial drugs, such as antibiotics, is linked with antimicrobial resistance. Surveillance of antimicrobial drug consumption is therefore an important element in dealing with antimicrobial resistance. Many countries lack…
The discovery of novel antibiotics is critical to address the growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). However, pharmaceutical industries face high costs (over $1 billion), long timelines, and a high failure rate, worsened by the rediscovery…
The continuously increasing cost of the US healthcare system has received significant attention. Central to the ideas aimed at curbing this trend is the use of technology, in the form of the mandate to implement electronic health records…
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease that can lead to serious health problems if not diagnosed and managed early. Big Data Analytics (BDA) and machine learning offer practical tools for analyzing large health datasets and supporting…
Epidemics of infectious diseases are among the largest threats to the quality of life and the economic and social well-being of developing countries. The arsenal of measures against such epidemics is well-established, but costly and…
Purpose: Antimicrobial resistance is a major global health concern, affecting hospital admissions and treatment success. This study aims to introduce an experimental setup for monitoring bacterial activity over time using image-based…
Antimicrobial resistance is a silent pandemic that is being exacerbated by the uncontrolled use of antibiotics. Since the discovery of penicillin, we have been largely dependent on microbe-derived small molecules to treat bacterial…
Traditional drug discovery is a long, expensive, and complex process. Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are beginning to change this narrative. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of different AI and…
Aquaculture is pivotal for global food security but faces significant challenges from infectious diseases, particularly those caused by Streptococcus species such as Streptococcus iniae and Streptococcus agalactiae. These pathogens induce…
Diabetes is a global epidemic and it is increasing at an alarming rate. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) projected that the total number of people with diabetes globally may increase by 48%, from 425 million (year 2017) to 629…
Antimicrobial protocols - using substances such as antibiotics or disinfectants - remain the preferred option for preventing the spread of pathogenic bacteria. However, bacteria can develop mechanisms to reduce their antimicrobial…
Mixed Reality (MR) is of increasing interest within technology-driven modern medicine but is not yet used in everyday practice. This situation is changing rapidly, however, and this paper explores the emergence of MR technology and the…
An estimated 300 million people worldwide suffer from asthma, and this number is expected to increase to 400 million by 2025. Approximately 250,000 people die prematurely each year from asthma out of which, almost all deaths are avoidable.…
The rapid rise of antibiotic resistance is a serious threat to global public health. Without further incentives, pharmaceutical companies have little interest in developing antibiotics, since the success probability is low and development…
Recently, Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been an area of interest in the researches, as the first line of defense against the bacteria. They are raising attention as an efficient way of fighting multidrug resistance. Discovering and…
During the growing popularity of electronic medical records, electronic medical record (EMR) data has exploded increasingly. It is very meaningful to retrieve high quality EMR in mass data. In this paper, an EMR value network with retrieval…
Bacterial infections are responsible for high mortality worldwide. Antimicrobial resistance underlying the infection, and multifaceted patient's clinical status can hamper the correct choice of antibiotic treatment. Randomized clinical…
This study presents the first large-scale empirical evaluation of quantum machine learning for predicting antibiotic resistance in clinical urine cultures. Antibiotic resistance is amongst the top threats to humanity, and inappropriate…
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a major challenge to humanity, with 12.7 million confirmed cases as of July 13th, 2020 [1]. In previous work, we described how Artificial Intelligence can be used to tackle the pandemic with applications at…
Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to global health. It emerges in multispecies microbial communities under antibiotic exposure. This makes antibiotic spectrum -- a drug's distribution of effects across species -- a potential key…
