Antibiotics are truly miracle drugs. As a class, they are one of
the only ones that actually cure disease as opposed to most drugs
that only help relieve symptoms or control disease. Since bacteria
that cause serious disease in humans are becoming more and more
resistant to the antibiotics we have today, and because they will
ultimately become resistant to any antibiotic that we use for
treatment or for anything else, we need a steady supply of new
antibiotics active against any resistant bacteria that arise.
However, the antibiotics marketplace is no longer attractive for
large pharmaceutical companies, the costs of development are
skyrocketing because of ever more stringent requirements by the
regulatory agencies, and finding new antibiotics active against
resistant strains is getting harder and harder. These forces are
all combining to deny us these miracle drugs when we need them the
most. I provide a number of possible paths to shelter from this
perfect storm.
