Where and how can we find novel antibiotics?

The resistance of some strains of bacteria to antimicrobials is well documented, but is enough being done to develop new drugs without these issues? Is there anything preventing us from making new antibiotics? What does our future look like if we can’t find new drugs?

Discussion will begin with a short talk from Dr Christophe Corre, a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Warwick.
