A recent Nature journal study uses a deep learning approach to explore chemical sub-structures that helped discover structural classes of antibiotics. Study: Discovery of a structural class of ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering, a group of researchers demonstrated the use of deep learning to resurrect antibiotic peptides from extinct organisms, ...

Antibiotic stewardship requires using broad spectrum agents only when necessary in order to minimize spread of antibiotic resistance. The studies tested the impact on antibiotic prescribing of an ...

A key property of many antibiotics is that they will kill or inhibit a diverse range of microbial species. This broad-spectrum of activity has its evolutionary roots in ecological competition, whereby ...
