Resistance is transferred among humans largely through the overuse of antibiotics. Transmission mechanisms are certainly of a concern to us. The overall development of resistance to antibiotics is a research area that we consider to be crucial and that will certainly have a huge impact on future treatment.
On the one hand, there is the whole aspect of caution in using antibiotics and in preventing people from misusing them. On the other hand, there is the need to invest in research to better understand how resistance mechanisms develop and how we can fight against them. With this in mind, I am pleased to have the opportunity to inform you that we have just signed a research agreement with the United Kingdom that focuses on antibiotic resistance. We are investing $10 million for the next five years and so is the United Kingdom.
