On August 1, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a new Guidance for Industry, “Antibacterial Therapies for Patients with an Unmet Medical Need for the Treatment of Serious Bacterial Diseases.” The guidance is not binding or legal, but is a recommendation for those working to develop or support the development of new pathogen-focused antibacterial drugs and presents opportunities to streamline development to have medications available for those with unmet medical needs. This and similar guidance, programs, and incentives are part of a broader international approach to facilitate and encourage the development of new options in the face of the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance.
