Machine learning-selected minimal features drive high-accuracy rule-based antibiotic susceptibility predictions for Staphylococcus aureus via metagenomic sequencing

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a critical global health challenge, demanding rapid and accurate antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) to guide timely treatments. Traditional culture-based AST methods are slow, while existing whole-genome sequencing (WGS)-based models often suffer from overfitting, poor interpretability, and diminished performance on clinical metagenomic data. In this...
