In the race against antibiotic resistance, one of the most urgent public health problems of the 21st century, science has found an unexpected new ally: archeas. These are single-cell micro-organisms that have been thriving for billions of years in environments where life seems impossible. For example, they are able to survive in thermal waters that are more than 90 °C, in hydrothermal chimneys miles beneath the sea, saturated lakes of salt or fl…
AI Discovers Novel Molecules with Potential Antibacterial Properties in Archaea
Antibiotic resistance poses a significant challenge to humanity, emphasizing the urgent need for new antibiotics. While the majority of antibiotics are derived from fungi and bacteria, Archaea presents largely untapped sources for discovering new antibiotics. In a recent study, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania employed deep learning techniques to investigate paleozoans. By analyzing the [...] The post AI Discovers Novel Molecules wi…
AI Finds New Molecules with Potential Antimicrobial Activity in Archaea
In a new study, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania leveraged deep learning to systematically explore archaeal organisms. The post AI Finds New Molecules with Potential Antimicrobial Activity in Archaea appeared first on Sci.News: Breaking Science News.
Writing Science, 12 Aug (EFE).- Artificial Intelligence (IA) has found "a new gold mine" of potential antibiotics in archeas, single-cell organisms that thrive in some of the most extreme environments on Earth. Behind this research is the team of César de la Fuente, from the University of Pennsylvania, USA, who used deep learning techniques to identify what they call powerful "archeasins." Details are published in Nature Microbiology magazine.
Taking an antibiotic and the fact that its effectiveness is not enough to end the infection becomes a major problem that puts public health in check worldwide. The reason is the antimicrobial resistance (RAM) caused by bacteria with resistance to multiple antibiotics, considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) one of the greatest threats that human beings will have to face in the twenty-first century. The figures so point out, since accor…
