A growing example of why collective efforts are needed is the rise in infections from Pseudomonas aeruginosa — a multi-drug-resistant bacterium. Machine learning tools are transforming genome mining, allowing AI to identify antimicrobial compounds, like biosynthetic gene clusters, and predict resistance patterns early.
