TLDR
A deep neural network capable of predicting molecules with antibacterial activity is trained and a molecule from the Drug Repurposing Hub-halicin- is discovered that is structurally divergent from conventional antibiotics and displays bactericidal activity against a wide phylogenetic spectrum of pathogens.

Mechanism of Interaction of Different Classes of Cationic Antimicrobial Peptides with Planar Bilayers and with the Cytoplasmic Membrane of Escherichia coli

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that individual peptides varied widely in their ability to depolarize the cytoplasmic membrane potential of E. coli, with certain peptides such as the loop peptide bactenecin and the alpha-helical peptide CP26 being unable to cause depolarization at the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), and others like gramicidin S causing maximal depolarized below the MIC.
