Two AI models designed the blueprints for 16 viruses capable of attacking Escherichia coli in lab dishes, researchers report September 17 in a paper posted to bioRxiv.org.
A mixture of these AI-generated bacteriophages stopped virus-resistant E. coli strains from growing, suggesting that the technique could help scientists design therapies capable of taking on tough-to-treat microbial infections. The work has not yet been peer-reviewed.
