Abstract
The anti-infective market is at a critical juncture. For the past 60 years,
antibiotic drugs have turned bacterial infections into treatable conditions
rather than the life-threatening scourges they once were. But the
effectiveness of many antibiotics is waning dramatically, as more and more
types of bacteria become resistant to them.

competition.
