Antibiotic combination is a promising strategy to extend the lifetime of antibiotics and thereby combat antimicrobial resistance. However, screening for new antibiotic combinations is both time-consuming and labor-intensive. In recent years, an increasing number of researchers have used computational models to predict effective antibiotic combinations. In this review, we summarized existing computational models for antibiotic combinations and discussed the limitations and challenges of these models in detail. In addition, we also collected and summarized available data resources and tools for antibiotic combinations. This study aims to help computational biologists design more accurate and interpretable computational models.
抗生素联合使用是一种有前途的策略,可以延长抗生素的使用寿命,从而对抗抗微生物药物耐药性。然而,筛选新的抗生素组合既耗时又费力。近年来,越来越多的研究人员使用计算模型来预测有效的抗生素组合。在这篇综述中,我们总结了现有的抗生素组合计算模型,并详细讨论了这些模型的局限性和挑战。此外,我们还收集和总结了现有的抗生素组合数据资源和工具。本研究旨在帮助计算生物学家设计更准确和可解释的计算模型。
