Combating biothreat pathogens: ongoing efforts for countermeasure development and unique challenges 2020-05-27 .txt text/plain 12963 580 32 None of the filoviruses or henipaviruses has any FDA-approved therapeutics or vaccines available for prevention or treatment of human disease, and while ribavirin is sometimes used to treat Lassa fever, it is not a terribly effective drug against this viral infection [28] . Many of the therapeutics that are in different stages of either preclinical or clinical development for select biothreat pathogens include small molecule antivirals (Tables 7.3 and 7.4), antibody (or antibody cocktails) against viruses or bacteria/virulence factors (Table 7 .5), and combination drug therapy (Table 7 .6). Although no FDA-approved HDT therapies are yet available for treating infectious diseases, we have summarized in this section the antimicrobial Primary screening of small molecule chemical libraries in the phenotypic HCI assay will identify compounds that inhibit pathogen infection as well as those that may contribute to cellular toxicity. ./cache/cord-269975-1ebmq7t8.txt ./txt/cord-269975-1ebmq7t8.txt
