Abstract
Currently, it is becoming alarmingly clear that pharmaceutical companies are continuously withdrawing from antibiotics research and that there is now amarket failure. The future decline in the gross domestic product alone is now estimated in the trillions of US dollars. The predicted number of people who could die in 30years from resistant germs is an urgent call for action. This paper aims to examine the situation on the basis of possible forms of organization and with the help of individual ideas of the principal-agent approach, atheory from economics that can be used to analyze problems between the principal and agent. The result demonstrates the urgent need for action by the state. The longer the alarming proportions of this development is not fully taken into account in the political decision-making process, the more drastic state measures and fewer available options for action there will be at alater point in time.
