Overuse and misuse of antibiotics worldwide is leading to the global health care issue of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistant infections may occur, and in the worse-case scenario, there may be no antibiotics left that are effective for the infection. This situation can be life-threatening ...
"Antibiotic resistance is an ever-growing problem. In the developing world half of some common infections such as E.coli are now untreatable with available agents. "The most resistant bacteria presently are Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas plus bowel bacteria such as E.coli and Klebsiella. The WHO l...
The World Health Organization was requested by Member States to develop a global priority pathogens list (global PPL) of antibiotic-resistant bacteria to help in prioritizing the research and development (R&D) of new and effective antibiotic treatments. To date, the selection of pathogens for R&D ...

For decades,antibioticshave been used successfully to fight a wide range of bacterial infections. However, overuse of these medicines has led to the development of antibiotic-resistantbacteria, known as "superbugs." Scientists are now in a race against time to discovernew antibioticsthat can defeat...
