Antibiotics are fundamental to modern medicine, essential for treating everything from routine skin infections to strep throat, and for protecting vulnerable patients receiving chemotherapy or being treated in intensive care units. Pew's antibiotic resistance project is working to ensure both the prudent use of existing drugs and a robust pipeline of new drugs in order to meet current and future patient needs. SaveAntibiotics.org

Griffiths (bgriffiths@politico.com; @BrentGriffiths) A HISTORIC DEM-VENTION —  This weekend's Democratic convention delivered an upset in the surprisingly engaging contest for secretary of state — Boston City Councilor  Josh Zakim  pulled off a 10-point victory over six-term Secretary of State  Bill Galvin . Zakim earned 54.8 percent to Galvin's 45.2 percent.

Zakim also carried 70 perce...
