WHO’s antibacterial pipeline reports

The antibacterial pipeline report details preclinical and clinical studies of traditional and novel antibacterial agents worldwide. It offers an assessment of criteria for innovation, such as the known absence of cross-resistance to drugs or new targets or modes of action. The vaccine pipeline report lists 61 vaccine candidates in various stages of clinical development and a further 94 candidates that are in the preclinical stage. It also discusses WHO’s position on the science of vaccines and their role in reducing the spread of AMR and saving lives, and the case for new investments.
