#AI Bots Told #Scientists How to Make #BiologicalWeapons
Scientists shared transcripts with The Times in which chatbots described how to assemble deadly #pathogens. Worse, #chatbot described in vivid detail how to release #superbug, identifying security lapse in public transit, Dr. Relman said, withholding name of pathogen and specifics for fear of inspiring an attack. Bot outlined a plan to maximize casualties and minimize chances of being caught.

Ancient Superbug Found in Ice Shows Resistance to Modern Antibiotics
A 5,000-year-old bug found in ice can fight 10 modern medicines. This shows resistance is an old problem, not just new.

Scientists found a very old germ, 5,000 years old, in ice. This germ can fight against 10 kinds of medicine we use today. This discovery helps us understand how germs become strong against drugs over a long time.

#AI cracks #superbug problem in two days that took scientists years
Their hypothesis is that the superbugs can form a tail from different #viruses which allows them to spread between species. Prof Penades likened it to the superbugs having "keys" which enabled them to move from home to home, or host species to host species.
Critically, this hypothesis was unique to the research team and had not been published anywhere else. Nobody in the team had shared their findings.

A #Superbug is a strain of #Bacteria that has become resistant to most #Antibiotics commonly used today. This means infections caused by superbugs are harder to treat than those caused by non-resistant bacteria.

Experimental #antibiotic kills deadly #superbug, opens whole new class of #drugs
Relatively large molecule clogs a transport system, leading to lethal toxicity. In this case, the new #drug—dubbed #zosurabalpin—fights off the #GramNegative #bacterium carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, aka CRAB. Though it may sound obscure, it's an opportunistic, invasive #bacteria that often strikes hospitalized and critically ill patients, causing deadly #infections worldwide. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/01/experimental-antibiotic-reveals-entirely-new-way-to-kill-drug-resistant-bacteria/ -

A new superbug has been discovered that can devour ocean plastic. The bacterium, named Ideonella sakaiensis, can break down PET, a common type of plastic used in bottles and clothing. The superbug could help solve the problem of plastic pollution, but it also raises questions about its ecological impact and potential applications. #Superbug #OceanPlastic #Nautilus https://nautil.us/the-superbug-that-devours-ocean-plastic-412863/
