AI Unveils Groundbreaking Class of Antibiotics
TL;DR
An artificial intelligence graph neural network has been trained to identify chemical substructures that contribute to the selective antibiotic activity in over 12 million compounds. This has led to the discovery of a new class of antibiotics that demonstrate in vitro and in vivo activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus.
