A new review titled Artificial Intelligence and the Discovery of Antibiotics: Reinventing with Opportunities, Challenges, and Clinical Translation, published in the journal Antibiotics, examines how ...

Antibiotic resistance (AR) has steadily accelerated in recent years to become a global health crisis. As deadly bacteria evolve new ways to elude drug treatments for a variety of illnesses, a growing ...

An analysis of an unusual enzyme could result in a new generation of antimicrobial medicines to counter antibiotic resistance. Key details in the enzyme-driven biosynthesis of a natural molecule with ...

André O. Hudson, PhD. receives funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Imagine going to the hospital for a bacterial ear infection and hearing your doctor ...

Imagine going to the hospital for a bacterial ear infection and hearing your doctor say, “We’re out of options.” It may sound dramatic, but antibiotic resistance is pushing that scenario closer to ...

• Skipping antibiotic doses can lower drug levels and reduce effectiveness. • Missing doses—especially multiple—can slow recovery and raise antibiotic resistance risk. • Don’t double doses; take a ...

The pathogen that causes the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea is notorious for its ability to develop drug resistance. But now there are two more treatment options. In December, the U.S. Food ...

When someone in your family gets sick or injured, being prepared matters. You never know when someone is going to come home with the sniffles or a skinned knee, so having a stocked medicine cabinet ...

Balasegaram is executive director of the Global Antibiotic Research & Development Partnership. No matter how carefully we use the antibiotics we have, drug resistant infections will continue to gain ...

As drug-resistant infections threaten to undermine decades of medical progress, scientists are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence (AI) for innovative solutions. With its strengths in data ...

Antimicrobial resistance(AMR) has become one of the greatest public health crises of the 21st century, responsible for an estimated five million lives annually and escalating healthcare costs ...

Inside a lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology late last year, scientists gave an AI system a new task: designing entirely new molecules for potential antibiotics from scratch. Within a day ...
