Medical technology and precision medicine have come a long way, and many people assume that the process of researching, discovering, and producing new drugs has never been easier. What if you learned that the last entirely original class of antibiotic was discovered in the late 1980s?
In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, Mr. Schacht remains to discuss:

- Why big pharma no longer prioritizes the research and development of new antibiotics or other antimicrobials; and
- The need for coordinated multi-sectoral approaches to tackle AMR as a top ten global threat.
