This study performed deep learning of multiple laser scattering patterns by the bacteria in urine to predict positive urine culture. Conventional urine analyzers have limited performance in identifying bacteria in urine. This novel method showed a satisfactory accuracy taking only 30 min of analysis without conventional urine culture. It was also developed to predict the Gram staining reaction of the bacteria. It can be used as a standalone screening tool for urinary tract infection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
