Evaluation of the Artificial Intelligence-based Prescription Support Software iAST® for the Choice of Empirical and Semi-targeted Antibiotic Treatment

For the subjects included, investigators used the iAST® tool to predict which antibiotics would have been recommended as the top three choices both for empiric and semi-targeted therapy and recorded this data with the percentage of coverage predicted (the first three antibiotics in the iAST® ranking that have been tested in the antibiogram of the center where the study was carried were chosen). Investigators checked the final microbiological reports and logged if the recovered bacteria were susceptible to the drug prescribed by doctors and simulated by the iAST® tool according to the final antibiogram results.
