MIT researchers have used deep learning AI to identify compounds that can kill drug-resistant bacteria, including MRSA. The AI model was trained to identify chemical structures associated with antimicrobial activity, and then used to sift through millions of compounds. The researchers also developed a method to understand how the AI made its predictions, potentially aiding future antibiotic design. The identified compounds showed low toxicity against human cells, making them promising drug candidates.
