Competing Interests
This study was partly supported by MedImmune LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of AstraZeneca, mainly for literature search and data collection. The funding was received directly by Peking University Health Science Center. None was paid individually to the researchers in this study for any employment or consultancy for the company. Antibiotics discussed in this review were not the patents of the company or its products in development or on market. There is no further relevant information about the conflicts of interest to declare. This does not alter the authors’ adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials, as detailed online in the guide for authors.
