Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an urgent public health threat. Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and increases in computational power have resulted in the adoption of AI for biological tasks. This review explores the application of AI in bacterial infection diagnostics, AMR surveillance, and antibiotic discovery. We summarize contemporary AI models applied to each of these domains, important considerations when applying AI across diverse tasks, and current limitations in the field.
