Default WHO: Not Enough Antibiotics in Pipeline to Curb Superbugs

WHO: Not Enough Antibiotics in Pipeline to Curb Superbugs

Not enough new antibiotics are in the research and development pipeline to meet the challenge of burgeoning antibiotic resistance, especially with tuberculosis (TB), the World Health Organization (WHO) warned in a new report released today.

Although several dozen antibiotics are now in that pipeline, most are modifications of existing antibiotic classes and few "are likely to cover a broader range of resistant pathogens," the report stated.
