TL;DR: Future development strategies should focus on antibiotics that are active against multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and Gram-negative bacteria, and include antibiotic-resistant bacteria responsible for community-acquired infections.

TL;DR: In a Policy Forum, Teodora Wi and colleagues discuss the challenges of antimicrobial resistance in gonococci and the need to understand more fully the role of antibiotics in the development of resistance.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided of the absence of an effect of other potential factors, such as exposure to pyriproxyfen or vaccines (tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis, measles and rubella) during pregnancy, confirming the findings of an ecological study of pyri proxyfen in Pernambuco and previous studies on the safety of Tdap vaccine administration during pregnancy.

TL;DR: Improved surveillance and risk assessment are needed to mitigate the impact of chikungunya and early detection and appropriate management could reduce the burden of severe atypical and chronic arthritic disease.

TL;DR: The range of abnormalities seen and the likely causal relationship with Zika virus infection suggest the presence of a new congenital syndrome, but WHO has set in place a process for defining the spectrum of this syndrome and good antenatal and postnatal histories and follow-up data are needed.
