Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by pathogens resistant to antimicrobial treatments, defined as antimicrobial resistance (AMR), are a serious global health crisis, considered among the main threats to global public health according to the World Health Organization. New forms of advanced information technology are receiving global consideration as a help in countering this health threat, like Artificial Intelligence (AI). Applications of AI in healthcare could help in reducing the time needed to discover new antimicrobial drugs, improving the accuracy and timing of surveillance, diagnosis, and treatment, while reducing expenses. AI is now proposed as a valuable and potential help for different sectors of the health world. In this short review, we will consider the recent evidence supporting the important role that AI can play in countering the phenomenon of AMR.
期刊介绍:
Giunta ormai al sessantesimo anno, Recenti Progressi in Medicina continua a costituire un sicuro punto di riferimento ed uno strumento di lavoro fondamentale per l"ampliamento dell"orizzonte culturale del medico italiano. Recenti Progressi in Medicina è una rivista di medicina interna. Ciò significa il recupero di un"ottica globale e integrata, idonea ad evitare sia i particolarismi della informazione specialistica sia la frammentazione di quella generalista.
