Abstract: Bacterial bloodstream infections (BSIs) are a serious global health issue, often leading to high mortality rates due to delays in diagnosis and the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance. To address this, deep learning-based computer-aided diagnosis has emerged as a promising tool for predicting bacterial infections. This study focuses on classifying gram-stain bacterial species directly, leveraging the Xception model by using transfer learning approach combined with image augmentation techniques to reduce misclassification on prediction performance. The proposed model achieves an accuracy of 98.78%, outperforming existing methods while also reducing the false positive rate (FPR) by 0.22%. Therefore, this architecture demonstrates remarkable effectiveness in analyzing fine-grained textures and morphological features of bacteria, making it particularly suitable for detailed microbiological diagnostics.
