So, if you want new antibiotics, someone's gotta:

1) pony up a several BILLION dollars of dedicated R&D effort for just this.

2) find some way to improve that 96% failure rate.

That 96% is ingrained in every pharma scientists brain. Keeps us humble. There is always a "bold new paradigm to accelerate drug discovery" that never moves the needle.
