Predicting Phenotypic Polymyxin Resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae through Machine Learning Analysis of Genomic Data

Polymyxins are last-resort antibiotics used to treat highly resistant Gram-negative bacteria. There are increasing reports of polymyxin resistance emerging, raising concerns of a postantibiotic era. Polymyxin resistance is therefore a significant public health threat, but current phenotypic methods...
