Summary
Researchers used AI to screen 6 million molecules and identified a potential new antibiotic for gonorrhea, a drug-resistant STI. The candidate was tested successfully in a "vagina on a chip" lab model. The study highlights the urgent need for new antibiotics as gonorrhea grows increasingly resistant to existing treatments.
