Using AI to identify existing treatments offers a promising new path in the critical fight against drug-resistant infections.
What actually happened
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a bacterial pathogen that causes life-threatening infections, including pneumonia and meningitis. These infections are commonly treated with antibiotics, but antibiotics are becoming less effective against S. pneumoniae over time because of changes in the pathogen that cause drug resistance. This phenomenon, called antimicrobial resistance, is resulting in significant health care costs and deaths around the world. In a new study published by Wiley in Advanced Science, researchers used artificial intelligence (AI) to identify approved drugs that may be effective agai
