Cover Story: MALDI-ToF AI is a promising approach to provide more rapid and accurate antibiotic resistance and bring in more precise management of bacterial infections. However, the AI is not perfect yet, and the reason for uncertain or incorrect predictions has not been investigated. In the study, we examined the association between specimen types, MS spectral quality, phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility, bacterial strain composition, and the AI’s predictions. We identified that uncommon bacterial strain or highly complicated bacterial strain composition would be the causes leading to AI uncertainties. Knowing more about MALDI-ToF AI, especially its weakness, can increase our confidence in it and help us to use it better. View this paper.
