Abstract
This brief review describes the role of the intestinal microbiota as a reservoir of MDR bacteria, the impact of different groups of antibiotics in the selection of MDR bacteria and crucially, the potential use of faecal microbiota transplantation using “healthy” or “MDR-free microbiota” to displace MDR bacteria and restore colonisation resistance.
