In order to combat the increasing number of resistant pathogens, the development of new antibiotic drugs is an important goal for pharmaceutical research. Lacking in this field are efficient medications that fight infectious diseases. As a result, scientists are constructing and improving novel agents that target essential processes in bacteria. This is done with the aim of killing or attenuating these pathogens. Below, you may read more about the optimization of new drug candidates.
