📖 Paper highlight from LMP! Evaluation of the utility and cost of secondary confirmatory testing for Neisseria gonorrhoeae identification from culture  🔗 https://lnkd.in/gigsSd8W Gonorrhoea is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by a type of bacteria.        Current guideline recommends the use of two identification methods for Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) is now used for primary identification and may be sufficient for definitive identification of N. gonorrhoeae. The performance of three secondary tests (BactiCard, RapID NH and NET test) were compared using 45 bacterial isolates, including 37 Neisseria species. These secondary tests demonstrated diminished specificity (67% - 88%) for N. gonorrhoeae compared with MALDI-TOF. Additionally, data from six clinical microbiology laboratories was used to compare confirmatory test costs and the agreement of results with MALDI-TOF. Discrepancies were documented for 9.4% of isolates, though all isolates (n= 288) identified by MALDI-TOF as N. gonorrhoeae were confirmed by the reference laboratory. These data demonstrate that MALDI-TOF alone is sufficient for N. gonorrhoeae identification, as secondary did not add diagnostic value but do add costs to the testing process. ✍ LMP authors: Ellen Avery, Joseph Zeppa, Kevin Barker, Ramzi Fattouh, Larissa Matukas, Vanessa Tran, Lee Goneau, Dr. Kevin Katz and Robert Kozak 📑 Journal: Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease

As a biochemistry student passionate about epidemiology, pharmacology, and toxicology, I’m inspired by how these fields advance our understanding of diseases and public health. Epidemiology is key in identifying disease causes and risk factors, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was essential in understanding virus transmission and shaping public health strategies. Integrating pharmacology and toxicology into epidemiology helps us understand drug metabolism and the effects of chemicals on the body, which improves treatments and ensures safety. By studying how drugs and toxins affect populations, we can develop more effective public health interventions and treatment protocols. Technological advancements in genomic sequencing and bioinformatics enhance our ability to track diseases accurately, especially for emerging health threats. These innovations also allow us to analyze the pharmacological and toxicological impacts on large populations, providing a comprehensive view of public health. Epidemiological research informs guidelines for disease prevention, vaccination programs, and health education, ensuring effective and resource-efficient public health initiatives. By incorporating pharmacology and toxicology, we can refine these guidelines to address drug resistance and adverse effects, improving overall health outcomes. Global collaboration is emphasized in epidemiology, with international partnerships essential for tackling pandemics and other global health challenges. Integrating pharmacology and toxicology into these efforts ensures that we consider all factors affecting public health, from disease transmission to treatment efficacy and safety. I’m excited to contribute to these fields by leveraging my biochemistry background and understanding of drug metabolism to support innovative research and public health initiatives. #Epidemiology #PublicHealth #Biochemistry #Pharmacology #Toxicology #HealthInnovation #GlobalHealth

In this video I will demonstrate how we address the issue of accuracy in generative AI applications. I will use our Medicines Information application, AIMI. The three building blocks of AIMI are a knowledge base, large language models and a process flow that guides the conversation between the user and the language models. The methods used in AIMI can be applied to any generative AI application. If you have an idea that you would like to develop for your business, contact us at the email below.
