Researchers Eliminate Debris Misclassification In Bacterial Detection
|
8.1
Researchers led by Luyao Ma at Oregon State University developed a deep-learning model that detects live bacterial microcolonies in food within three hours and eliminates misclassification of microscopic food debris. Published in npj Science of Food (2025), the enhanced model corrected a prior >24% debris misclassification rate and was validated on E. coli, Listeria, and Bacillus subtilis in chicken, spinach, and Cotija cheese samples.
