Brief description Antibiotics have different effects on our own bacterial ecology, with sometimes unexpected detrimental effects. In this project, we will study this in detail and particularly address the question of 'good' and 'bad' antibiotics and how to identify them. National antibiotic policy and the deployment of 'decontamination' strategies in the critically ill are directly related issues and we expect to inform these important policy debates.
