Third generation cephalosporins and piperacillin/tazobactam have distinct impacts on the microbiota of critically ill patients

Abstract Effective implementation of antibiotic stewardship, especially in critical care, is limited by a lack of direct comparative investigations on how different antibiotics impact the microbiota and antibiotic resistance rates. We investigated the impact of two commonly used antibiotics, third-g...
