| Abstract | There are some 43 small molecules in the antibiotic development pipeline from late preclinical stage (7 compounds) through Phase 1 (11 molecules), Phase 2 (13 molecules) to Phase 3 (12 molecules). The majority of these are representatives of established antibiotic classes that have been modified to address problems of resistance. In addition, there is considerable activity around the discovery of novel classes of β-lactamase inhibitors with 10 combinations representing 4 inhibitor classes, at different stages of development. The combination of such inhibitors, which have broad activity against serine β-lactamases and may even inhibit some penicillin binding proteins, with carbapenems, cephalosporins or aztreonam, provides enhanced activity against multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria. There are 6 molecules representing novel classes of antibiotics but only one of these, murepavadin, is expected to have activity against a Gram-negative pathogenic bacterium (Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Although the new analogues of existing classes, and novel combinations, have been designed to address specific resistance problems, it is by no means certain than they will not be affected by the general mechanisms of resistance, particularly decreased net flux across the Gram-negative outer membrane. The potential impact of resistance mechanisms on the new agents is assessed and the ways in which PK/PD studies are used to design dosing regimens for the new agents, especially combinations, as well as to improve dosing of existing antibiotics are discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
