摘要

Artificial intelligence (AI), complex mathematical algorithms, is currently employed across various fields to perform tasks quickly and effectively. In this study, a novel deep-learning algorithm named (CM-Net) was developed to classify biological data obtained as images from Confocal Microscopy. The images were collected for two types of bacterial species: (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus), where the number of images was 300 for each class. To enhance the dataset, we divided each image (using the augmentation method) into a small number of images with 224 × 224 dimensions, resulting in a total of 7066 images for both classes. These augmented images were fed to CM-Net to ensure accurate results and avoid bias in the developed algorithms. The algorithm was trained and tested 30 times with a 5-K cross-validation for each time. The algorithm’s performance was evaluated using seven metrics (accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, NVA, F1-score, and MCC), where the respective results were 96.08%, 95.98%, 96.19%, 96.78%, 95.26%, 96.38%, and 92.11%, indicating the model’s high accuracy and reliability. CM-Net drastically reduces bacterial identification time by automating large-scale data analysis, processing results in 8.9 min. The automation provided by CM-Net simplifies workflows, enabling non-expert workers to perform microbial identification without extensive training. The significant outcomes of applying CM-Net for bacterial identification revolve around its transformative impact on data analysis’s speed, efficiency, and accuracy, making advanced analysis accessible to non-experts while minimizing human error.
