The "Medical Journal of Australia" will on 21 July 2014 publish new research by a team at Monash University’s Centre for Medicine Use & Safety. It argues that an indiscriminate and excessive use of antibiotics in nursing homes is creating a problem of resistance to the drugs by "superbugs". The authors advocate improved guidelines for staff at residential aged-care facilities on the use of antibiotics. The study looks at 12 nursing homes and their providers, including doctors, nurses and pharmacists
