EU prepares for next pandemic, new drug from Pfizer vaccine maker given green light

The EU has approved a new antibiotic for the treatment of serious diseases such as pneumonia and urinary tract infections, a step forward in the fight against drug-resistant “superbacteria”. Experts say that resistant bacteria are already causing the death of 5 million people a year worldwide, but they fear that the next pandemic will also be caused by these pathogens. This can be treated with a medicine called Emblaveo.
