      Hi elenavcxx,

      Good question!

      I think finding out what bacteria new antibiotics kill is very useful (and exciting)! These results can then be used to improve or make new products – this means doctors can find out what’s making patients ill faster so they can be treated quicker. That’s very useful!

      The least useful thing is quite tricky – as finding out something doesn’t work can also be useful as you know not to try that again and look at something different 🙂
