Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a huge threat to the prevention and treatment of a growing number of infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi. A public-private partnership involving nine European projects and 98 organisations is now calling for long-term investment to maintain Europe’s ability to research and develop new antibiotics.

The Innovative Medicine Initiative 2 JU-funded €25m project COMBINE is joining forces with  CARB-X & CAIRD, iiCON and Pharmacology Discovery Services to improve in vivo antibiotics testing.

GARDP:?Six European states, together with the British Wellcome Trust and South Africa, have pledged €56.5m to help develop new antibiotics that break resistance. The ambitious goal of the Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership (GARDP) is to develop and deliver up to four new treatments that enter clinical development within the next six years.
