Conflict of interest statement

I have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: VGF reports serving as chair of Merck’s V710 scientific advisory committee; receiving grant support and having grants pending from NIH, MedImmune, Actavis/Forest/Cerexa, Pfizer, Cubist/Merck, Advanced Liquid Logics, Theravance, Novartis; serving as a paid consultant for Pfizer, Novartis, Galderma, Novadigm, Durata, Debiopharm, Genentech, Achaogen, Affinium, Medicines Co., Cerexa, Tetraphase, Trius, MedImmune, Bayer, Theravance, Cubist, Basilea, Affinergy, Contrafect; personal fees from Royalties (UpToDate), personal fees from payment for development of educational presentations (Green Cross, Cubist, Cerexa, Durata, Theravance), and a patent pending on bacterial diagnostics. This does not alter our adherence to all PLOS policies on sharing data and materials. The other authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
