An AI tool better detected meropenem-resistant Klebsiella in African and Thai data

Researchers developed an AI tool that predicts meropenem resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae from genome data. It showed higher sensitivity and fewer missed resistant strains than ResFinder and AMRFinderPlus in global, African and Thai test datasets.

Pseudomonas biofilms spread more pyocyanin in lung tissue than on lab material

A study used chemical imaging to compare Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms grown on a laboratory surface and on mouse lung tissue. Biofilms on lung explants showed greater production and deeper tissue penetration of pyocyanin, a phenazine involved in biofilm activity and host interactions.
