Abstract
De novo, artificial intelligence (AI) designed antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), antibacterial products comprising the AMPs and methods for treating bacterial infections using the products are provided. In one or more embodiments, the AMPs were designed using conditional latent attribute space sampling (CLaSS). The AMPs comprise up to twenty natural amino acids in length, including one with twelve and another with thirteen natural amino acids in length. The AMPs demonstrate low-toxicity and show high antimicrobial potency against diverse pathogens including multi-medication-resistant Gram negative Klebsiella pneumoniae.
