Use of AI to Discover New Antibiotic

In today’s video, Biology Professor (Twitter: @DrWhitneyHolden) briefly summarizes the growing concerns with antibiotic resistance and then discusses a recent news article (see link below) where artificial intelligence (AI) was used to identify a new antibiotic after screening millions of chemical compounds in a matter of days. Is this the future of antibiotic discovery? Have you been impacted by antibiotic resistance? Let me know in the comments!

Good informative content! Keep it coming, ma'am

In 2016, I treated five peyote cacti from my garden (legal in Canada) with a silver solution, and the intent of creating SUPER alkaloidal amines, amino acids, phenylethamines, and isoquinolines for future research into its
possible antibiotic action(s).
What is needed for ma portion of my dry-powdered fifteen gram sample is a facility with a High Performance Thin
Layer Chromatography apparatus to conduct the analysis.
I have made request's to laboratories nationally and internationally; all have refused remain silent at this time of
writing (2020). My hunch is that the antibiotic properties of plant and mineral have the potential to introduce a whole new class of alkaloids, including other undiscovered salt's.

What if we formulated and used the very first type of penicillin that was developed in 1928 on these superbugs, rather than the modern day variants? Would they have resistance to it?

You are extremely intelligent, and you have very intelligent people watching your videos, so I'm going to ask a off topic question . Hopefully, I get the answer I need so badly.

I am extremely congested in my sinus into my ears. My Dr. put me on an antibiotic, and my congestion is now clear, but I still have fluid in my ears so badly, and they pop and hurt from it.

I can't take over the counter decongestants because I get drug tested monthly, and in 10 years, I've never failed a drug test. Im on 1 medicine called methadone for addiction, which im 90% weend off of.

My question is, what can I take or do to get this congestion out of my sinus and out of my eustachian tubes without causing me to fail my drug test. Mucinex is not helping me.

This is absolutely amazing! I'm going to refer my students here to have a listen. What do you think about using bacteriophages to combat bacterial infections? I know there are concerns about unpredictable mutations, but the tech is promising. AI will be a great tool to have in our arsenal for sure. I'm looking forward to future developments.

Can we show some historical data related to content so people like it more. visual are more powerful student also like it

1.000 x 10e5 million combinations? Is this how many chemical combinations looked at?

i would love to see a video for pathology of coronavirus as a general family.

i hope u give birth safely and have a healthy baby..u mean sensitivity to organism of specific compound?

You have a beautiful face congrats on your discovery
