Abstract

The article presents the author pondering over the question of multidrug resistance in bacteria by 2035. He expects the discovery and development of new antibiotic agents in the coming years for multidrug-resistant pathogens. He explains about rewards for the development of agents for chronic infections like HIV. The author suggests ways to be prepared for the uncertainties about the prospective of resistance like immunization for bacterial infections and better defense strategy in hospital.
