Overview

This Improving the understanding of risk, outcomes, and treatment of E. coli infections in people with multimorbidity project is offered at University of Dundee .

Context

Risk of E. coli bloodstream infection and associated adverse outcomes are reportedly higher in people with multimorbidity but published reports do not adequately account for physical and/or mental health multimorbidity and frailty. There is limited information about drug-drug and drug-disease interactions in relation to recommended antibiotic therapy for E. coli infection in people with multimorbidity and associated polypharmacy, with implications for clinical policy and practice.
