We don't have new antibiotics and will not have new antibiotics in ten years even if we started a new Manhattan Project today.
We don't have them, because unlike Viagra, Cialis and SSRIs and blood pressure drugs, antibiotics aren't profitable. Hence, no research into new antibiotics. Without fundamental research, it is pointless to ask for new drugs.
It is pointless to blame the people who misused the existing antibiotics. Even if there had been strict discipline to prescribing them, we'd be in the same situation. Maybe decades later, but still.
We are here because the corporate bottomline overrides the need for new antibiotics.
