Research conducted in the North East has shown ?healthy bacteria? drugs do not prevent a killer infection among the elderly in a study which could save the NHS millions.
The study, carried out at the University Hospital of North Durham and Darlington Memorial Hospital, looked at the role of probiotic drugs, which affect the digestive system of elderly patients and Clostridium difficile (C. diff)-associated diarrhoea.
County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust?s Research and Development Team investigated how healthy bacteria, known as probiotics, prevent infections.
