Funded Activity Summary

Antibiotic resistance is a global health priority that threatens to compromise advances in modern medicine to return practices to the pre-antibiotic era. Critically ill and patients with impaired immune function represent a vulnerable group who struggle to fight infections and who rely heavily on lifesaving antibiotics. This project aims to investigate how the efficacy of antibiotics can be optimised to prevent the emergence of resistance and preserve their effectiveness for the future.
