Ah! Good to hear they are legislating towards a bit more progress. Do you know if any pharma companies have re-entered antibiotic research since GAIN passed? I believe there's only a small handful of them left.

Not to mention creating new drugs without implementing any rational controls over their use in humans and livestock is like pouring more gas on the fire.

But I digress about leaving science to legislators....
