    Cool, we need new antibiotics. Antibiotic resistance is becoming a huge concern. There was a time that when someone had an infection caused by E. coli (probably the most common gram negative human pathogen) that they didn’t even bother to do sensitivity tests because they were sensitive to everything. Now we see more and more resistant strains all the time. We recently isolated a strain from a patient’s blood that was resistant to every antibiotic in our formulary with the exception of one.
