AI Accelerates Antibiotic Resistance Research: 10-Year Study Replicated in 48 Hours
A Google AI tool replicated a decade-long study by Imperial College London researchers in 48 hours, independently identifying how bacteria share antibiotic resistance via phage-inducible chromosomal islands forming capsids (cf-PICIs) that acquire "tails" from other viruses. This discovery, impacting...
