Antibacterial agents (ABAs) contribute significantly to reduce morbidity and mortality of bacterial infections as well as play a crucial role in the success of major advances in medicine such as organ transplants, advanced surgeries, cancer chemotherapy and cardiac surgery. However, their success as well as their very existence itself are under threat due to two major problems, one is antibacterial resistance (ABR) and the other is discovery void.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
