Dear Natalie and others Although I'm not aware of any studies, we hold the primary sources here in the Information Service at the Wellcome Trust. We keep press cuttings from the tabloids and the broad sheets on a range of bioscientific and science-in-society topics. This includes microbiology, particularly bacterial infections and microbial resistant drugs. The library is open to the public and you are welcome to visit. Further details at http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/en/1/lib.html.
