NewsA new approach to predicting malaria drug resistance
Researchers analyzed the genomes of hundreds of malaria parasites to determine which genetic variants are most likely to confer drug resistance.

NewsArtificial intelligence can be used to treat infections more accurately
New research has shown that using artificial intelligence (AI) can improve how we treat urinary tract infections (UTIs), and help to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

NewsWe may be overestimating the association between gut bacteria and disease, study finds
Many bacterial-linked illnesses, such as inflammatory bowel disease or colorectal cancer, are associated with an overgrowth of gut bacteria thought to be bad actors. But when researchers used a machine learning algorithm to predict the density of microbes—called microbial load, from their gut microbiomes, they found that changes in microbial ...

NewsMicrobial load can influence disease associations, new model reveals
Scientists have developed a new machine-learning model to predict microbial load — the density of microbes in our guts — and used it to demonstrate how microbial load plays an important role in disease-microbiome associations.
-
NewsOne genomic test can diagnose nearly any infection
A genomic test to rapidly detect almost any kind of pathogen – virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite – has proved successful after a decade of use.
-
NewsNew GPS system for microorganisms could revolutionise police forensics work
A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has developed an AI tool that traces back the most recent places you have been to. The tool acts like a satellite navigation system, but instead of guiding you to your hotel, it identifies the geographical source of microorganisms. ...

NewsScientists predict the spatial-temporal dynamics of soil microbial-derived carbon stocks
Scientists forecasting the spatial-temporal dynamics of microbial-derived carbon stocks revealed that for every 1°C increase in temperature, there was a global decrease of 6.7 Pg in the soil MDC stock within the predictable areas.

NewsAI tackles huge problem of antimicrobial resistance in intensive care
Artificial intelligence (AI) can provide same-day assessments of antimicrobial resistance for patients in intensive care – critical to preventing life-threatening sepsis.

NewsAI decodes microbes’ message in milk safety testing approach
DNA sequencing combined with artificial intelligence could detect anomalies that signal trouble in dairy production, researchers report.
-
NewsMore than 160,000 new virus species discovered by AI
161,979 new species of RNA virus have been discovered using a machine learning tool that researchers believe will vastly improve the mapping of life on Earth and could aid in the identification of many millions more viruses yet to be characterised.
-
NewsMachine learning could help reduce hospitalizations by nearly 30% during a pandemic, study finds
New research shows machine learning can be more effective than current methods to distribute scarce treatments to patients most vulnerable during a public health crisis.
-
NewsNewly discovered antimicrobial could prevent or treat cholera
Natural antimicrobials called microcins are produced by bacteria in the gut and show promise in fighting infection. A study identifies the first known microcin that targets the strains of bacteria that cause cholera.
-
NewsExtreme microbe reveals how life’s building blocks adapt to high pressure
An AI tool has helped scientists discover how the proteins of a heat-loving microbe respond to the crushing conditions of the planet’s deepest ocean trenches, offering new insights into how building blocks of life might have evolved under early Earth conditions.
-
NewsResearchers develop tool that measures health of a person’s gut microbiome
A team of researchers has developed an innovative computational tool that analyzes the gut microbiome, a complex ecosystem of trillions of bacteria, fungi, viruses and other microorganisms within the digestive system, to provide insights into overall well-being.
-
NewsResearchers develop probiotic to ameliorate ulcerative colitis
Researchers have developed a probiotic-based therapeutic that synergistically restores intestinal redox and microbiota homeostasis. It relieved inflammation and reduced colonic damage in mouse and non-human primate (NHP) models of colitis.
-
NewsA human-centered AI tool to improve sepsis management
A proposed artificial intelligence tool to support clinician decision-making about hospital patients at risk for sepsis has an unusual feature: accounting for its lack of certainty and suggesting what data it needs to improve its predictive performance.
-
NewsAI spots cancer and viral infections at nanoscale precision
Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence which can differentiate cancer cells from normal cells, as well as detect the very early stages of viral infection inside cells.
-
News3D shapes of viral proteins point to previously unknown roles
Scientists uncover an ancient immune-evading strategy shared by animal viruses and viruses that infect bacteria; findings may help in the development of new antiviral therapies.
