Encouraging antibiotic development: a grassroots effort

Dear Readers,

I have just received this call to action from Dr. Timothy Walsh, Professor at Cardiff University, who I mentioned last week in regards to the NDM-1 crisis in India. Below is an online petition from the British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (BSAC), that I would urge you to sign. The petition will be presented to 10 Downing street (British Government) on the 9th of November followed by a garden reception to further articulate the crisis we currently face.

Antibiotic Action

Securing the future of antibiotic development …. determined to make a difference

www.antibiotic-action.com


New antibiotics are urgently needed for use now and in the future

No antibiotics – no chemotherapy | No antibiotics – no transplant surgery | No antibiotics – no hip/knee replacements | No antibiotics – no treatment for infectious diseases| No antibiotics – no heart surgery | No antibiotics – no cystic fibrosis treatment | No antibiotics – no kidney transplants

NO ANTIBIOTICS – NO CURE – NO CHANCE

The simple truth



Please join this global initiative - sign the petition on the website above.

Thank you.
