CNBC reports:
A looming shortage of antibiotic drugs threatens to derail efforts to fight the so called superbugs, according to a new report.
There's more:
Since 1998, only four antibiotics have been approved by the Federal Drug Administration for use by doctors, according to the ISDA. The last approval came in 2010. Only seven antibiotics are currently in any kind of advanced stage of development and are years away from approval and use.
Maybe it's time to lower the costs of bringing new drugs to the market by allowing non-FDA tested drugs on the market.
