Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Microbial Diagnosis

Cureus. 2023 Nov 24;15(11):e49366. doi: 10.7759/cureus.49366. eCollection 2023 Nov.

Abstract

The diagnosis is an important factor in healthcare care, and it is essential to identify microorganisms that cause infections and diseases. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) systems can improve disease management, drug development, antibiotic resistance prediction, and epidemiological monitoring in the field of microbial diagnosis. AI systems can quickly and accurately detect infections, including new and drug-resistant strains, and enable early detection of antibiotic resistance and improved diagnostic techniques. The application of AI in bacterial diagnosis focuses on the speed, precision, and identification of pathogens and the ability to predict antibiotic resistance.

Keywords: antibiotic resistance prediction; artificial intelligence in healthcare; epidemiological monitoring; microbial diagnosis; pathogen identification.
