At a glance
- Public-health guidance comes first for general reader questions.
- Medicine-specific information is checked against medicine resources and leaflets.
- CORDIS is the primary record for facts about the former EU project.
- Source links are not a replacement for advice tailored to you.
Which sources do we use?
For everyday antibiotic guidance we prioritise established organisations, including NHS, CDC and WHO. For individual medicines, MedlinePlus and official patient leaflets can add detail. Where recommendations differ by country or product, we say so and direct you to your local professional and leaflet.
We use peer-reviewed literature and CORDIS to give historical project context. We avoid treating an abstract, project aim or press report as a definitive clinical recommendation.
How references are presented
Each substantive article has a Sources section with direct external links. Sources support the page as a whole rather than every sentence being a quotation. We write original summaries and do not reproduce licensed documents.
When a reference becomes outdated, our aim is to replace it or clarify the limitation and update the page date. Let us know if you notice a broken or misleading link.
Different sources for different questions
CORDIS verifies former AIDA dates, participants and project aims. It does not authorise this website to claim affiliation. Likewise, a medicine information page can describe a drug but cannot decide whether it is suitable for you.
