Meanwhile, Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS trust is conducting preliminary research to see whether probiotic yoghurts could help reduce the risk of patients developing superbugs.

Free pots of Actimel, which contains "friendly" bacteria, are being handed out to elderly patients on antibiotics who are at a higher risk of contracting superbugs.

"We are providing Actimel probiotic yoghurt to patients on the wards where we have previously had more cases of C difficile," the trust's medical director, Matthew Fletcher, said.
