Plain-English Summary

The government would create a new program to help develop new antibiotics and other antimicrobial drugs that can fight the most dangerous and hard-to-treat infections, including bacteria that have become resistant to existing medicines. This program would support pharmaceutical companies and researchers working on these difficult medical challenges where current treatments are failing. The goal is to speed up the creation of new drugs to combat serious infections that pose major public health threats.
