The Antibiotic Era: Reforming Antibacterial Drug Development

The Antibiotic Era: Reforming Antibacterial Drug Development discusses how the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria threatens public health. It emphasizes that developing new antibiotics has slowed, partly due to high costs and uncertain returns. The book advocates for reforms in research, regulation, and incentives to encourage innovation. By improving how new drugs are created, tested, and brought to market, these changes aim to ensure we have effective antibiotics for the future, maintaining our ability to fight bacterial infections and protect global health.
