Abstract
The President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) last September released a report, “Combating Antibiotic Resistance,” along with a strategy for dealing with this public health problem. In addition, the White House issued an Executive Order emphasizing the importance of addressing this challenge (Microbe, November 2014, p. 432). “Even with improved stewardship and surveillance, it is critical to develop new antibiotics, diagnostics, vaccines, and other interventions at a rate that outpaces the emergence of resistant microbes,” PCAST members noted. “A robust antibiotic pipeline is essential for creating new antibiotics to replace those being steadily lost to antibiotic resistance. Establishing this pipeline and successfully addressing the rise in antibiotic resistant bacteria will require coordination across governmental, academic, health-related, agricultural, and private sectors.”
