A new antibiotic class before 2029


Antibiotic resistance is a mounting global crisis, prompting investment in novel mechanisms of action and early-stage compounds.

Despite promising research, most candidates face long clinical trial timelines and high failure rates.

My prediction: A breakthrough is possible but unlikely before 2029 due to development cycles and regulatory steps.
