Super Drugs for Super Bugs
 Physicians fighting the antimicrobial resistance epidemic look to researchers and drug developers to join the fight. But, will the microbial invaders win the game outright? Increased research efforts toward understanding mechanisms of resistance, as well as identifying new antimicrobial targets, is greatly needed to ensure they don't.
