Researchers are using AI-powered microscopy to study the bacterium Shigella, offering fresh hope in the battle against antimicrobial resistance.
In this film 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 unprecedented scale.
Their latest research, 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.
Antimicrobial resistance is a major health issue, and this research highlights how LSHTM scientists are harnessing technology to see further ahead and act faster to find real world solutions to this key challenge.
