Can we use Machine Learning to solve Anti-microbial Resistance problem in Nigeria?

Amidst all the hullabaloo happening in Nigeria with every system failing and sector breaking down, it seem as though antibiotics are also not left out.

Have you used an antibiotic drug recently to treat an infection and discovered that it's ineffective? Or been told at the hospital that there are no effective antibiotic drug to treat your infection?

Well, this results from one of the most disturbing problem in medical sciences; antibiotic resistance. Infectious diseases are major cause of morbidity and death in Nigeria and they are caused by tiny little creatures called microbes. These microbes are killed using antibiotic drugs but unfortunately, they have been able to resist the effect of these drugs.

So how can we combat this problem? Here's a research review of mine on "Machine Learning: An approach to Combatting Antimicrobial Resistance Problem in Nigeria". I looked into how we can harness the current advancement in technology - artificial intelligence - to solve this disturbing problem in our country.
