PREVALENCE AND ANTIBIOTICS SUSCEPTIBILITY PROFILEOF Listeria monocytogenes ISOLATED FROM PROCESSED ANDUNPROCESSED MEAT PRODUCTS
The antibiotics susceptibility pattern of Listeria monocytogenes isolated from processed and unprocessed meats were investigated. Isolation of Listeria monocytogenes was done using the FDA BAM method. A total of fifty (50) retail meat samples consisting of twenty (20) raw meats, 15 fresh processed meat samples and 15 processed ready-to-eat samples were analyzed on Listeria Selective Agar and Listeria Chromogenic Agar following pre-enrichment. Isolates were screened for thei

AI is a viable alternative to high throughput screening: a 318-target study
: High throughput screening (HTS) is routinely used to identify bioactive small molecules. This requires physical compounds, which limits coverage of accessible chemical space. Computational approaches combined with vast on-demand chemical libraries can access far greater chemical space, provided that the predictive accuracy is sufficient to identify useful molecules. Through the largest and most diverse virtual HTS campaign reported to date, comprising 318 individual projects, we demonstrate that our AtomNet® convolutional neural network successfully finds novel hits across every major therapeutic area and protein class. We address historical limitations of computational screening by demonstrating success for target proteins without known binders, high-quality X-ray crystal structures, or manual cherry-picking of compounds. We show that the molecules selected by the AtomNet® model are novel drug-like scaffolds rather than minor modifications to known bioactive compounds. Our empirical results suggest that computational methods can substantially replace HTS as the first step of small-molecule drug discovery
