Creating artificial intelligence that designs antibiotics against resistant bacteria. The global spread of drug-resistant bacteria has created an urgent need for new antibiotics.
The researchers reported that they have developed a new artificial intelligence model called “SyntheMol,” which can design new antibiotics to stop the spread of “Acinetobacter baumannii” The study was published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence, and the EurekAlert website wrote about it. Through artificial intelligence, researchers arrived at 6 molecules that show strong antibacterial activity against bacteria, and are also non-toxic to humans.
