Lansdale makes a triumphant return to his Hap and Leonard novels with this scorcher.

One hundred years ago this Thursday, goalie Hap Holmes and his exhausted Seattle Metropolitans were fighting to extend not only an epic overtime battle but their very franchise.

Because of the types of bacteria causing HAP and the large numbers of bacteria in the lungs during HAP, development of resistance to administered antibiotics to treat it is common.

This is partly because doses of antibiotics are determined by drug developers to treat HAP effectively, but without consideration to the dose needed to prevent resistance emerging.

The team at the APT group, including Dr Darlow, have developed a new experimental model of HAP and used it to test the effects of meropenem.
