Antimicrobial Agents And Resistance--Fifth International Symposium.
The Fifth International Symposium on Antimicrobial Agents and Resistance (ISAAR) provided a comprehensive review of current developments, with emphasis on new antimicrobial agents in development, novel vaccines, and public health concerns about respiratory virus pandemics and bioterrorism. This report describes new antimicrobial agents in clinical development or those recently approved, as well as progress in development of antibacterial agents with novel targets. Other agents under development include antimicrobial peptides, bactericidal permeability-increasing proteins, self-assembling peptide nanotubes, and antisense nucleotides.
