Identification of Mycobacterium abscessus Subspecies by MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry and Machine Learning.
spectra. Overall, using a random forest model with several confidence criteria (samples by triplicate and similarity values >60%), a total of 96.5% of isolates were correctly identified at the subspecies ...
Author Correction: The evolution and international spread of extensively drug resistant Shigella sonnei
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Mason, Lewis C. E.; Greig, David R.; Lauren A. Cowley; Partridge, Sally R.; Martinez, Elena; Grace A. Blackwell; Chong, Charlotte E.; De Silva, P. Malaka; Bengtsson, Rebecca J.; Draper, Jenny L.; ...
Evaluation of a Liquid Media MALDI-TOF MS Protocol for the Identification of Dermatophytes Isolated from Infections.
schools and represents a global health problem. Correct identification of the infection agent is essential in the determination of the infection source, epidemiological course, and treatment initiation. The ...
SARS-CoV-2 Surveillance in Belgian Wastewaters
for 15 months comprising three major virus waves. During the entire period, a high correlation was observed between the daily new COVID-19 cases and the SARS-CoV-2 concentration in wastewater corrected ...
Predictive model for BNT162b2 vaccine response in cancer patients based on blood cytokines and growth factors.
cytokine), IL-18 (interferon-gamma inducing factor), and placental growth factor (an angiogenic cytokine) correctly classified patients with a diminished vaccine response assessed at day 49 with >80% ...
Organizing the health interview survey at the local level: design of a pilot study.
reflects the initial sample. Therefore, weights should be added in the analyses to correct for potential deviations in sample composition. Furthermore, implementing a sequential mixed-mode design with a web ...
Investigations upon the Improvement of Dermatophyte Identification Using an Online Mass Spectrometry Application.
a Microflex Bruker spectrometer. Diversifying the references and adding spectra from various culture media and culture durations improved identification performance. The percentage of correct identification at ...
Identification of Molds with Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry: Performance of the Newly Developed MSI-2 Application in Comparison with the Bruker Filamentous Fungi Database and MSI-1.
identification programs (Bruker, MSI-1, and MSI-2). The MSI-2 application had a better identification performance at the species level than MSI-1 and Bruker, reaching 83.25% correct identifications, compared with ...
Clinical Origin and Species Distribution of spp. Isolates Identified by Molecular Sequencing and Mass Spectrometry: A European Multicenter Hospital Prospective Study.
Identification at the species complex was satisfactory for all the tested methods. However, identification at the species level was more challenging and only 32% of the isolates were correctly identified with the ...
