title: The battle against microbes and their growing resistance.
abstract: Scientists involved in the battle against microbes--and the worrying increase in their immunity to antimicrobial agents--gathered at the Royal College of Physicians, London, U.K., to discuss the current situation and the scope of drug discovery research efforts. In addition to analyzing the clinical implications of rising immunity to antibacterial agents, sessions covered the problem of growing resistance to antiviral, antifungal and antimalarial agents.
