Using AI-based machine learning algorithm, MIT and McMaster University researchers have identified an antibiotic drug combination that can eliminate drug-resistant infections, including a hospital bacteria called “Acinetobacter baumannii”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nosocomial bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii is a type of bacteria that is often found in hospitals and can lead to pneumonia, meningitis, and other serious infections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This microbe is also a major cause of infection in wounded soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the researchers of the recent study says that Acinetobacter can survive for a long time on hospital handles and equipment, and that current antibiotics are sometimes not able to fight it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
