Bacterial load slopes represent biomarkers of tuberculosis therapy success, failure, and relapse [PDF]
There is an urgent need to discover biomarkers that are predictive of long-term TB treatment outcomes, since treatment is expense and prolonged to document relapse. We used mathematical modeling and machine learning to characterize a predictive biomarker

Point‐of‐care fluorescence imaging reveals extent of bacterial load in diabetic foot ulcers
Elevated levels of bacteria, including biofilm, increase the risk of chronic wound infection and inhibit healing. Addressing asymptomatic high bacterial loads is challenged by a lack of clinical terminology and diagnostic tools. This post‐hoc multicenter
