James M Byrne et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. .

Abstract

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hosted a public workshop entitled "Advancing Animal Models for Antibacterial Drug Development" on 5 March 2020. The workshop mainly focused on models of pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii The program included discussions from academic investigators, industry, and U.S. government scientists. The potential use of mouse, rabbit, and pig models for antibacterial drug development was presented and discussed.

Keywords: FDA; animal models; antibacterial; antibiotics; drug development; humanized dose; pneumonia; regulatory; workshop.
