Where this comes from

Abstract

The notoriously drug-resistant bug MRSA has made headlines for years, but a whole other class of bacteria may prove even more troublesome. These microbes, Gram-negative bacteria, are increasingly a threat--and yet not a single late-stage drug in development specifically targets them. Christian Torres follows one man's quest to get the antibacterial pipeline flowing once again.
