Using generative AI, MIT researchers design compounds that can kill drug-resistant bacteria

86% Center coverage: 7 sources

Artificial intelligence has invented two new potential antibiotics that could kill drug-resistant gonorrhoea and MRSA, researchers have revealed. The drugs were designed atom-by-atom by the AI and killed the superbugs in laboratory and animal tests. The two compounds still need years of refinement and clinical trials before they could be prescribed.See the Story
