Artificial intelligence (AI) can provide same-day assessments of antimicrobial resistance for patients in intensive care -- critical to preventing life-threatening sepsis.
Artificial intelligence can provide same-day assessments of antimicrobial resistance for patients in intensive care -- critical to preventing life-threatening sepsis.
Some patients have more antimicrobial resistance than others, due to previous exposure to antibiotics, their genetics and even diet, which can alter their microbiome. Current assessments of ICU patients are time consuming and require lengthy laboratory tests, requiring bacteria to be cultured in a laboratory, taking up to five days. This can have a huge impact on care outcomes, especially given the fragility of ICU patients, who may be suffering from life-threatening illnesses.
Dr Lindsey Edwards, expert in microbiology at King's College London added:"An important way to tackle the grave threat of antimicrobial resistance is to protect the antibiotics we already have, which goes hand in hand with the urgent need for fast diagnostics. Often patients with a drug-resistant infection will present to ICU in a critical condition and may not survive long enough for the current gold standards of diagnostics to determine what they are infected with.
