Prevalence of Multidrug-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Causing Urinary Tract Infection
Abstract: Urinary tract infections are one of the most common causes of hospital admission, high morbidity and mortality. The most common cause of urinary tract infection is Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Proteus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp., Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Citrobacter spp. and Gram-positive bacteria such as Enterococcus spp., Staphylococcus aureus and Coagulase-negative Staphylococci. Multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae are emerging worldwide due to high empiric and injudicious use of antibiotics. …

An innovative antibiotic "Abaucin": Instigated by Artificial Intelligence
Abstract: Nosocomial Gram-negative pathogen, Acinetobacter baumannii repeatedly demonstrates multidrug resistance. Discovering novel antibiotics against A. baumannii has proven thought-provoking through conventional screening tactics. Providentially, machine learning approaches allow for the speedy exploration of chemical space, snowballing the probability of determining new antibacterial molecules. In the following research era, a neural network is accomplished with growth reserve dataset and accomplished in silico predictions for structurally unconventional molecules with commotion in divergence to …
