The ongoing search for novel and improved therapeutics is being driven by the increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance, infectious diseases and the continuous emergence of new and existing pathogens.
It has been estimated that the global incidence of deaths from infectious diseases is currently 25%, with an array of environmental, ecological and demographic factors contributing to this rise. Other factors influencing this include the ongoing evolution of viral and microbial variants and the selection of drug-resistant strains.
