A new antibiotic, discovered with artificial intelligence, may defeat a dangerous superbug // CNN
Using a machine-learning algorithm, researchers from MIT and McMaster University discovered a type of antibiotic that’s effective against a particular strain of drug-resistant bacteria. The antibiotic “worked in a way that stymied only the problem pathogen. It didn’t seem to kill the many other species of beneficial bacteria that live in the gut or on the skin, making it a rare narrowly targeted agent.”
