Great to hear there are antibiotics in the pipeline, though important to protect then with #AMS. Great session so far from @AntibioticLeeds and Prof Livermore at #FISHIS20

This has been a fantastic opportunity for me. To be able to spend a year doing practical infection prevention and control and working with @jhieditor has been invaluable experience. Thoroughly recommend it.

Still not clear what their role is in healthcare settings. Perhaps useful to reduce fallow time in areas where mechanical ventilation can't be improved
