The spread of antimicrobial resistance among Gram negative bacteria has dramatically reduced the current therapeutic opportunities and hampered the perspectives of drug discovery pipeline. Several unmet needs concerning the optimal therapeutic approaches to severe infections caused by the leading multi-drug-resistant GNB are still unresolved, mainly in relationship with the difficulty in the design of prospective comparative studies. Therefore a perspective of how the main resistance patterns and the related infections can be managed in the absence of more definitive data is mandatory.

Abstract
The spread of antimicrobial resistance among Gram negative bacteria has dramatically reduced the current therapeutic opportunities and hampered the perspectives of drug discovery pipeline. Several unmet needs concerning the optimal therapeutic approaches to severe infections caused by the leading multi-drug-resistant GNB are still unresolved, mainly in relationship with the difficulty in the design of prospective comparative studies. Therefore a perspective of how the main resistance patterns and the related infections can be managed in the absence of more definitive data is mandatory.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
