A machine learning model trained on a high-throughput antibacterial screen increases the hit rate of drug discovery.

Screening for novel antibacterial compounds in small molecule libraries has a low success rate. We applied machine learning (ML)-based virtual screening for antibacterial activity and evaluated its predictive power by experimental validation. We first binarized 29,537 compounds according to their gr...
