So, there's a growing problem with antimicrobial resistance caused by: 1. Overuse of antibiotics in medicine and in agriculture.
2. Chronic apathy on the part of the medical profession in dealing with the problem in a strategic way.
3. The abandonment of research by the pharmas because there was not enough money in it for them to develop new ones. Sounds like a perfect storm.
