I could not get the link to work, but googled the report and took a cursory look. Its a five goal plan and one of the goals is to develop new antibiotics (they specifically mention developing two, but don't identify them). After briefly looking through the plan I cannot help but think that Brilacidin would be an extremely important development and would garner a lot of attention from the institutions most involved in carrying out the plan. Since the plan is now final, the government could tout B as one of the benefits of the efforts to implement the plan....makes me wonder if Leo or Menon are already working behind the scenes to get B some publicity as a result of this plan and that is why the Phase III meeting/trial has been slightly delayed (one can dream).

I had an interesting discussion about our little company with a pharmaceutical researcher friend who works for a very large Pharma. He had not heard of the company, but when I explained the pipeline, he told me that it was critical for smaller biotechs not to be a "one molecule" player (we have three). He really perked up when I mention the defensin mimetic technology of B indicating that it was very important and interesting to him...I felt like he thought the company had significant value in that technology.
