Abstract

Development of antibiotics to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacilli has lagged significantly behind development of antibiotics to treat infections with gram-positive pathogens. Although a few promising drugs have entered early clinical development, more must be done to preserve the utility of currently available antibiotics and to ensure a pipeline of efficacious, safe antibacterials.
