1000minds used to prioritize drug-resistant bacterial infections to guide R&D into new antibiotics

The World Health Organization used 1000minds to create a Priority Pathogens List (PPL) of antibiotic-resistant bacteria to support R&D into new and effective drugs.

1000minds used to prioritize drug-resistant bacterial infections to guide R&D into new antibiotics

Millions of people could die each year if new and effective antibiotics are not developed to control antibiotic-resistant bacteria that are increasing becoming a global threat. The World Health Organization (WHO) developed a Priority Pathogens List (PPL) of antibiotic-resistant bacteria to support research and development into new and effective drugs.

1000minds was used to survey and aggregate the preferences of experts in infectious diseases from around the world.
