Can we rely on artificial intelligence to guide antimicrobial therapy? A systematic literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to enhance clinical decision-making, including in infectious diseases. By improving antimicrobial resistance prediction and optimizing antibiotic prescriptions, these technologies may support treatment strategies and address critical gaps in healthcare. This study evaluates the effectiveness of AI in guiding appropriate antibiotic prescriptions for infectious diseases through a systematic literature review.

Methods

We conducted a systematic review of studies evaluating AI (machine learning or large language models) used for guidance on prescribing appropriate antibiotics in infectious disease cases. Searches were performed in PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for articles published up
