Lack of innovation surrounding the development of new antibiotics has resulted in an alarming situation, given the rising threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). As a result, there is no single or straightforward way to combat AMR, nor to galvanize development of novel antibiotics. Although some positive measures have been introduced, further - and larger scale - action is needed. We take a look at what pharma and the larger healthcare industry needs to do in order to combat this looming threat.
