Abstract
There are a limited number of new antibiotics to manage the health crisis caused by the evolution and spread of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria including multidrug resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR) and pan-drug-resistant (PDR) ones. Bioprospecting fungi of less studied and extreme environments using new and less used older approaches could reveal novel antibiotics to manage MDR pathogens. Furthermore, I posit a crowdsourcing model which could substantially increase the chances of discovering novel antibiotics as well as new chemotypes for other therapeutic areas and considerably reduce the costand time of this exercise.
