Does Big Pharma have sufficient financial incentive to develop new antibiotics?

If not, that might be worth adding to Trump's To Do list.

The medication was already developed. it just isn’t FDA approved. She died an FDA approved death, in other words.

The problem, as I understand it, isn't the money, it's the fact that bacteria are developing resistance faster.
I believe a new discovery has some bacterium resistance found in jellyfish.
That also is why the FDA is trying to restrict antibiotics usage in meat production ( especially turkeys and chicken/poultry farming) where it used to be used routinely.
