On March 1, 2016, CTTI hosted an expert meeting entitled, The Use of Antibacterial Drugs Developed via Streamlined Approaches for Serious Infections Where There is Unmet Need: Understanding Patient and Physician Perspectives and Considerations to Take Forward. We are pleased to now share the meeting materials online, including the presentations, agenda, and attendee list.

This meeting was associated with the Unmet Need in Antibiotic Development Project. A variety of stakeholders attended, including academia, clinical experts, patient advocates, regulators, pharmaceutical companies, and others involved in the clinical research enterprise. The meeting objectives were to:

• Present perspectives from patients, caregivers and physicians on antibacterial drugs developed using streamlined approaches
• Identify focus group themes and discuss topics which should be further explored or where draft recommendations could be made
• Obtain feedback to improve labeling, risk communication, public understanding and stewardship
