Seems like macrolones have been in the literature for over a decade. I wonder why there hasn't been any progress in commercializing them. Hospitals could really use these.

Is it that these are predicted mechanisms of action, but that a working structure with high efficacy hasn't been elucidated?


Don't the hospitals already use mixes of antibiotics?
