Antibiotikaresistenzen: Zu viel vom Falschen
The article begins with a quote from Jayasree K Iyer, Executive Director of the Access to Medicine Foundation:
We are losing ground both with the new antibiotics and with those that have existed for a long time.
The article then dives into the results of the 2020 Antimicrobial Resistance Benchmark, covering topics like antibacterial R&D, forgotten antibiotics progress in responsible promotion, and tracking the spread of resistance. It highlights the top performing companies in these areas.Â
The article states that Iyer hopes for support from the German Chancellor to help tackle AMR. Angela Merkel, says Iyer, will meet the heads of several pharmaceutical companies at the World Economic Forum currently taking place in Davos: Here, she can urge them to invest more in the development of antibiotics and the fight against antibiotic resistance.
