For the first time in over 60 years, a new class of antibiotics to treat drug-resistant staph infections has been discovered using artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning; a landmark breakthrough to address the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis. This important discovery to advance global health care has been made using artificial intelligence machine learning by researchers...
Maya Yang Thu 25 May 2023 15.54 EDT Scientists using artificial intelligence have discovered a new antibiotic that can kill a deadly superbug. According to a new study published on Thursday in the science journal Nature Chemical Biology, a group of scientists from McMaster University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered a new antibiotic that...
by Cara Murez The world desperately needs new antibiotics to fight infection as bacteria become resistant to existing options. GSK has developed a new antibiotic to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) that appears to be so effective the pharmaceutical company stopped testing early on the recommendation of independent monitors and plans to submit data to...
UNIVERSITY OF BASEL For a long time, antibiotics were considered a silver bullet against bacterial infections. Over time, many pathogens have adapted to resist antibiotics, so the search for new drugs is becoming increasingly important. An international team of researchers including scientists at the University of Basel, has now discovered a new antibiotic by computational...
PENN STATE IMAGE: A NEW ANTIBIOTIC COMPOUND CLEARS INFECTION OF MULTI-DRUG RESISTANT GONORRHEA IN MICE IN A SINGLE ORAL DOSE, ACCORDING TO A NEW STUDY. THE COMPOUND, MBX-4132, BINDS TO THE BACTERIAL RIBOSOME AND, IN SO DOING, DISPLACES A REGION OF A PROTEIN (bL27, PURPLE) THAT IS CRITICAL TO THE TRANSLATION PATHWAY IN BACTERIA. CREDIT:...
SKOLKOVO INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (SKOLTECH) IMAGE: SCIENTISTS EXPLORE THE ACTION MECHANISM OF A NEW ANTIBIOTIC CREDIT: TIMUR SABIROV/SKOLTECH Scientists from Skoltech and MSU have investigated antibiotic nybomycin that could prove effective against bacteria resistant to other antibiotics. Their research was published in the journal Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy. All bacterial cells contain topoisomerases, an important group...
