Conquering antibacterial resistance

I François. Drug News Perspect. 2001 Feb.

Abstract

Application and combination of proteomics, functional genomics, bioinformatics, combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening enable scientists to identify new molecular targets and novel chemical structures for fighting bacterial infections. At the same time, it is doubtful that these new approaches will ablate the problem of resistance, because the unique and inherent properties of bacteria ensure that the emergence of resistance is inevitable. At the Society for Medicines Research meeting Conquering Antibacterial Resistance held September 28, 2000, members discussed the causes of and potential solutions to this increasing and accumulating threat.
