Artificial Intelligence discovers the antibiotic against the most dangerous bacteria in the world

A powerful new antibiotic against the superbug Acinetobacter baumannii, identified by the World Health Organization as one of the most dangerous resistant bacteria in the world, has been discovered thanks to Artificial Intelligence, through a process that promises to revolutionize the field.

The antibiotic was discovered by the algorithm among nearly 7,000 applicants in just two hours.

The result, published in the journal " Nature Chemical Biology " by a group led by the Canadian "McMaster" University, paves the way for the possibility of greatly accelerating the process of discovering new antibiotics for many other microorganisms that threaten human health and Wider.

Baumannii, which is often found in hospitals and can lead to serious infections.

Researchers led by Gary Liu, Denise Catacutan and Khushi Rathod turned to an algorithm capable of accessing hundreds of millions, perhaps billions, of molecules with antibacterial properties.

To obtain the data, the study authors first cultivated the bacterium in the laboratory, exposing it to around 7,500 different chemical compounds: the structure of each was then fed to the algorithm, along with information related to their effectiveness. .

Once ready, the AI ​​went through a library of 6,680 never-before-assessed molecules, securing the 240 most promising candidates within hours.
