‘Dawn of new era in medicine’ — AI helps scientists develop safe form of antibiotic produced by pigs

Protegrin-1, an antibiotic, was altered by University of Texas researchers using artificial intelligence (AI) to preserve its antibacterial qualities while making it safe for human usage. bsPG-1.2 was developed using an AI-guided methodology, and it demonstrated encouraging outcomes in animal experiments. This discovery may completely change how antibiotics are developed and provide fresh approaches to the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
