Abstract:Global trends show increase in microbial infections caused by pathogens resistant to the most common antibiotics. Antibiotics in development are usually tested on rapidly dividing cells in a culture medium and do not reflect complexity of infections in vivo, while testing in vivo is limited, expensive and ethically concerning. This often results in development and subsequent prescription of antibiotics only targeting infections in which pathogens are undergoing rapid cell division and in case of persistent inf… Show more
