A new class of antibiotics for drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria has been discovered using deep learning models. The research team used a deep-learning model to predict the activity and toxicity of the new compound. The results of the study were published in Nature and co-authored by a team of 21 researchers. The use of AI is proving to be a game-changer when it comes to medicine, with the technology now helping scientists to unlock the first new antibiotics in 60 years.
