AI-designed bacteriophages reportedly used to treat antibiotic-resistant infection in first human case

Radical Numerics says it gave a patient with an antibiotic-resistant infection phage variants designed using its Omnii-1 model through a compassionate-use pathway. Phages are viruses that infect bacteria. The mixture eliminated the patient's bacterial sample in lab tests, but that does not show it cleared the infection. Radical Numerics has not disclosed the patient's outcome, and no peer-reviewed clinical study backs the announcement.
