Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has provided a stark reminder not only of the need to be prepared before a public health crisis hits, but also of the essential role of antibiotics — in a pandemic and beyond. Unfortunately, when it comes to the growing dangers posed by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the global level of preparedness does not match the magnitude of the threat. Indeed, recent declines in private investment in antibiotic R&D are staggering.
