This is the inaugural volume in a new series of reviews. Each
annual volume will contain authoritative reviews of developing
research topics in antimicrobial therapeutics. Authors will
describe how the research being reviewed can be applied to
real-world problems. Among the topics discussed are:
antibiotic cycling (rotation) to reduce emergence of resistance;
antibiotics: past and future medical need and public perception;
drug discovery successes and failures; efflux pumps and the
possibility for broad-spectrum inhibitors; emergence of Clostridium
difficile as a major nosocomial pathogen; immunomodulators as
adjuvants for antimicrobial therapy and vaccines; potential impact
of rapid diagnostics to direct more targeted therapies, or to
affect antimicrobial use; regulatory hurdles for new antibiotics;
the interface between veterinary and human antibiotic use; and
virtual high throughput screening and structure-based design of
anti-bacterials.
