Hope for drug-resistant superbugs as NHS strikes deal with pharmaceutical companies

Hope for drug-resistant superbugs as NHS strikes deal with pharmaceutical companies New drugs to fight superbugs are to be given to hundreds of patients across England as part of a deal which it is hoped will "save lives and strike a blow" in the global battle against antimicrobial resistance.

Some 1,700 patients a year will be given the new "superbug-busting drugs" on the NHS for infections which have become resistant to traditional antibiotics. Sky News
