Scientists have discovered a new class of antibiotics for drug-resistant bacteria using artificial intelligence. This is the first such discovery in over 60 years. Could this be a turning point in the field of medicine? Palki Sharma tells you, in the video published on Jan 3, 2024, by Firstpost, as “Scientists Discover First New Antibiotics in Over 60 Years Using AI|Vantage with Palki Sharma“, below:
MIT scientists, using artificial intelligence, have discovered the first new antibiotics in over 60 years, potentially marking a turning point in the battle against antibiotic resistance. The promising new compounds, aimed at combatting MRSA, offer hope for tackling thousands of life-threatening cases worldwide. This pioneer use of AI in the pharmaceuticals sector could revolutionize the process of drug development, in the video published on Dec 21, 2023, by Dr Tony Hoang, as “AI Breakthrough: New Antibiotics Discovered to Combat Deadly Drug-Resistant Bacteria“, below:
Artificial intelligence (AI) was utilised by researchers to find a novel antibiotic that can eradicate a dangerous species of superbug. Thousands of possible substances were reduced using artificial intelligence (AI) to a small number that could be evaluated in a lab. Abaucin, a strong experimental antibiotic that was the end result, needs to undergo more testing before it can be utilised, in the video published on May 26, 2023, by WION, as “New Superbug-killing antibiotic discovered| Latest World News|English News|WION“, below:
Akhila Kosaraju, CEO and President of Phare Bio, explains how Phare Bio is using artificial intelligence to discover new antibiotics, in the video published on Oct 4, 2023, by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, as “Using AI to discover new antibiotics“, below:
Abaucin is a narrow spectrum antibiotic found by using AI in the drug screening process. It is highly selective against acinetobacter baumannii. The model is a message-passing neural network (chemprop), in the video published on June 7, 2023, by AI Matej, as “Abaucin-Antibiotic discovered with the help of AI“, below:
During an appearance on Monday’s episode of ‘The Morning Show,’ Dr. Isaac Bogoch, a clinical investigator at Toronto General Hospital Research Institute, revealed the development of a brand-new antibiotic highly-effective against “nasty” drug-resistant bacteria. Dr. Bogoch said that its development was made possible with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI). This antibiotic is said to combat acinetobacter baumannii, which was dubbed one of the world’s most dangerous drug-resistant bacterium by the World Health Organization. AI was used to help inform doctors how to best “attack” the structure of this pathogen, according to Dr. Bogoch. On the future of AI integration into medicine, he said that the technology has the potential to transform the field overall by helping to discover new drugs and understand diseases better, in the video published on May 29, 2023, by Global News, as “Medical researchers use AI to develop antibiotic effective against drug-resistant bacteria“, below:
