Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a major global public health challenge, with traditional prevention and control methods exhibiting significant limitations in detection efficiency, data processing, and clinical decision-making. Leveraging its robust capabilities in data analysis and pattern recognition, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been widely applied across multiple critical aspects of AMR containment. Current evidence demonstrates that AI technologies can significantly enhance the efficiency of resistancediagnosis, optimize personalized treatment strategies, and improve real-time monitoring of resistant pathogen transmission. Despite persistent challenges such as data heterogeneity, model interpretability, and ethical compliance in practical applications, AI holds immense promise in supporting precision infection management and addressing the growing crisis of antimicrobial resistance.This article systematically reviews the clinical applications of AI in AMR prevention and control, including resistance detection and prediction based on mass spectrometry and genomic data, the use of clinical decision support systems in anti-infective therapy, as well as the role of AI in epidemiological surveillance, pathogen tracking, early warning systems, and novel antimicrobial drug discovery aiming to provide reference for clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the effect of music therapy on depression and anxiety status in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods:The study was a single-center, open, and randomized controlled trial. The patients with regular hemodialysis of more than 3 months and the Beck depression inventory (BDI) scores ≥10 in China Rehabilitation Research Center from March 1 to April 24, 2021 were selected. Random envelope method was used to divide the enrolled patients into music group and control group. The music therapist selected the treatment music and established the preset repertoire library in the music therapy programs, and the total duration of music was about 2 hours. The music group received listening music therapy of 1.0 to 1.5 hours 3 times a week during routine hemodialysis treatment, while the control group only received routine hemodialysis treatment. All the enrolled patients completed treatment of 8 weeks. The BDI and state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) were used to assess the psychological status of MHD patients before and after treatment.Results:A total of 64 MHD patients were enrolled, aged (59.19±11.61) years old, among whom 38 patients (59.38%) were males. There were 32 patients in the music group and 32 patients in the control group. BDI scores [2 weeks (9.81±6.25) scores, 8 weeks (8.30±8.49) scores, F=49.75, P<0.001] and STAI scores [2 weeks (49.30±7.27) scores, 8 weeks (47.07±7.39) scores, F=13.09, P<0.001] in the music group decreased significantly after 2 weeks of treatment and remained stable for 8 weeks. After treatment, the BDI scores in the music group were significantly lower than those in the control group [2 weeks (9.81±6.25) scores vs (14.13±7.33) scores, t=-2.53, P=0.014; 8 weeks (8.30±8.49) scores vs (12.56±5.67) scores, t=-2.34, P=0.023], and STAI scores in the music group were significantly lower than those in the control group [2 weeks (49.30±7.27) scores vs (54.00±8.36) scores, t=-2.06, P=0.043; 8 weeks (47.07±7.39) scores vs (51.34±8.87) scores, t=-2.06, P=0.044]. Conclusion:Music therapy can improve depression and anxiety of MHD patients quickly and effectively.
