THE AIDA STUDY (completed study)

The AIDA consortium is a European Consortium funded by the Seventh Framework Program of the EU to run three randomized clinical trials in different infectious diseases aiming to prove that old and cheap antimicrobials remain equally active to newer and more expensive antimicrobials. The Work Package 2 of the AIDA was run by the HISS through collaboration with Micron Research Ltd.
