The Synopsis: Stanford Medicine researchers have developed a machine-learning model, SyntheMol, to create recipes for chemists to utilize in combatting drug-resistant bacteria, Acinetobacter baumannii. SytheMol has been trained on a library of more than 130,000 molecular blocks, and it has generated 25,000 to be used to kill A. baumannii. However, those 25,000 were similar to existing compounds, which may enable the bacteria to become quickly resistant. The researchers filtered through the 25,000 to find 6 compounds that are able to neutralize the bacteria.
