Project Title: Exploring Probiotics as a Potential Alternative or Adjunct Therapy for Infection Management in Primary Care
Brief Summary: Antimicrobial resistance is a major global health threat and primary care is critical for optimizing antimicrobial prescriptions and considering alternative and adjuvant therapies. Probiotic supplements are gaining attention for their role in infection management, but the evidence to support their use in clinical and primary care settings is inconsistent. This PhD seeks to investigate the current usage of probiotics and examine the evidence informing probiotics as an alternative or adjuvant therapy to antimicrobials in the prevention and treatment of common infections.
