Lessons to be learnt about the discovery and development of new antibacterials

Antibiotic Action, supported by the BSAC, the Medical Research Council, The Wellcome Trust and BBSRC, invited fifty international experts from academia, science, medicine and industry consider what lessons can be learnt from the last 40-years to aid the discovery and development of new antibacterial agents. In a ground breaking event speakers examined issues such as why interesting antibiotic molecules were not developed, to difficulties in developing antibiotic drugs for Gram negative infections.
