Problem
Whether reduced susceptibility to biocides co-selects for antibiotic resistance in natural clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus was unclear.
Why it matters
Antibiotic resistance threatens treatment of infectious diseases, and biocide use might worsen it.
What the AI did
Machine learning methodologies performed an unbiased, blind-based evaluation of antibiotic and biocide susceptibility across 1632 worldwide clinical isolates.
Results

Abstract states rising antibiotic resistance is a significant problem for treatment of infectious diseases; specific question of biocide co-selection is a narrower mechanistic issue within AMR.
