[Comment] A crucial list of pathogens

In this issue of The Lancet Infectious Diseases, Evelina Tacconelli and colleagues, and the WHO Pathogens Priority List Working Group,1 describe how WHO created a priority list of antibiotic-resistant bacteria to support research into and development of effective drugs. The authors used a multicriteria decision analysis method to prioritise antibiotic-resistant bacteria: 20 bacterial species with 25 patterns of acquired resistance and ten criteria to assess priority were used to generate the list.
