Integrating sequencing methods with machine learning for antimicrobial susceptibility testing in pediatric infections: current advances and future insights by Zhuan Zou, Zhuan Zou, Fajuan Tang, Fajuan Tang, Lina Qiao, Lina Qiao, Sisi Wang, Sisi Wang, Haiyang Zhang, Haiyang Zhang

“…These inconsistencies may arise from factors such as genetic mutations or variants in resistance genes, differences in the phenotypic expression of resistance, and the influence of environmental conditions on resistance levels, which can lead to variations in the observed resistance patterns. Machine learning (ML) provides a promising solution by integrating large-scale resistance data with sequencing outcomes, enabling more accurate predictions of pathogen drug susceptibility. …”
