RE: Artificial Intelligence Discovers First Antibiotics (Halicin Antibiotics)

in Project HOPE5 years ago (edited)

This really impresses me. I have a background in this area of health, and I know that it takes years to make a discovery like this, and if you add up the at least 5 years of testing that the FDA requests to approve it and then market it, it's a long process.

3 days?

No doubt my friend @gbenga that what is coming is big. What worries me is that more and more control of the antibiotic use will be necessary, since the bacterial resistance is very strong nowadays. There is even already resistance to the latest generation of drugs... Let's see what comes with all this.

Another thing, it kills the agent that causes tuberculosis, this is great, the treatment for this disease is months or years, daily several pills, that is one of the reasons why most do not culminate it and again the disease occurs. This, I insist, is great. :-)

Thank you for sharing this information.

It is amazing the way bacteria become resistant to antibiotics but with Artificial intelligence playing a role in screening molecules, there will be discoveries of new antibiotics that can inhibit the growth of bacteria which were previously resistant to old antibiotics.
