Deep learning application to hyphae and spores identification in fungal fluorescence images

Researchers developed an artificial intelligence system using two deep learning models to automatically identify fungal infections in microscope images. The system analyzes fluorescence-stained samples to detect fungal spores, hyphae, and mycelium with accuracy matching experienced doctors. This automated approach can significantly reduce the time clinicians spend examining samples and help prevent misdiagnosis, especially in hospitals with fewer specialist technicians.

Performance of the VITEK® MS system for the identification of filamentous fungi in a microbiological laboratory in Chile

This study tested a rapid fungal identification system called VITEK® MS in a Chilean hospital laboratory. The system uses mass spectrometry technology to identify mold species quickly and accurately, often within 48-72 hours. Results showed the system correctly identified over 91% of fungal samples without any mistakes, making it a valuable tool for diagnosing serious fungal infections in hospitalized patients.
