Modern Healthcare: Federal health officials will invest nearly $100 million to develop a new antibiotic that can treat drug-resistant "superbugs" for which there are currently few or no treatment options.
HHS will collaborate with the Defense Department and Malvern, Pa.-based drugmaker VenatoRx Pharmaceuticals on the company's compound VNRX-5133. When combined with the intravenous antibiotic cefepime, the compound might combat bacteria that is resistant to currently available antibiotics, the agencies said Monday.
