That has led the World Health Organization to label antibiotic resistance a “global health emergency.” In response, the Access to Medicine Foundation published an index that ranks which drug companies are best positioned to face the threat.
"GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) led the list, which was released Tuesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Among generic drug companies, Mylan (MYL) led the pack and among biotechnology companies, Entasis came out on top."
