Antimicrobial Innovation: combining commitment, creativity and coherence

By Jos W.M. van der Meer, Robin Fears, Dame Sally C. Davies, and Volker ter Meulen

On 1 October, Nature Reviews: Drug Discovery published a Commentary by EASAC President Jos van der Meer et al., on Antimicrobial innovation. The authors argue that “Urgent action to tackle antimicrobial resistance must take account of all the scientific opportunities available, find new resources to support academia and emphasize the importance of innovation to policy-makers and to the general public”.
