Competing Interests
BS reports receiving grant and contract support from Cubist, Pfizer, and Bristol Myers Squibb; serving as a consultant for Glaxo Smith Kline, Pfizer, Meiji, Adenium, Cardeas, and aRigen; and receiving honoraria from Cubist. RSD reports serving as a paid consultant for Pfizer and receiving a research grant from Pfizer. CPM, MDD, FZ, and ASC have no conflicts of interest to declare. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
