Video: How AI and microscopes can help fight infection
Researchers are using AI-powered microscopy to study the bacterium Shigella, offering fresh hope in the battle against antimicrobial resistance.
Serge Mostowy and Ana López Jiménez discuss using AI-powered microscopy to study Shigella, a bacterium estimated to have killed 148,000 people in 2019, at an unprecedented scale.
Their , published in the journal eLife, demonstrates how this cutting-edge technology is accelerating the potential discovery of new drug targets and treatments for antimicrobial resistant infections.
