    New study is a chilling commentary on the future of antibiotics

    New study is a chilling commentary on the future of antibiotics

    We are not keeping up with the antibiotic superbugs that we created by overusing / misusing antobiotics. Imagine returning to a time where a small cut and kill you.

    The health care market is failing to support new antibiotics used to treat some of the world’s most dangerous, drug-resistant “superbugs,” according to a new analysis by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine infectious disease scientists.

    In a study published today in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, a journal of the American Society for Microbiology, investigators used nationwide prescription data to determine that the current annual U.S. sales of new antibiotics to treat carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), one of the world’s most insidious drug-resistant bacteria, is about $101 million annually — significantly short of the $1 billion believed to be necessary to assure the financial viability of a new antibiotic. Even if new anti-CRE agents were used as widely as possible to treat CRE infections, the projected market size is only $289 million.

    Ive been reading aboutt his, I also read this morning and I dont know whether its true or not to be honest. The article said the cuts in drug prices proposed by Nancy Pelosi would kill many new innovations in new drugs, especially drugs that are the most costly to research.
