You can def explain that in your secondary essays. Many schools give you a chance to explain bad grades. If you want, you might try to allude it to in your personal statement by explaining it influenced your decision to go into medicine.

I am not so familiar with DO/PhD. Honestly, I would just apply. You do have a publication.
