Skin Infections: Bacitracin is effective against a variety of bacteria and is commonly used to prevent or treat skin infections, including:
Wound Healing: Bacitracin can promote wound healing by preventing bacterial infection in minor wounds and cuts. It creates a barrier against bacteria, allowing the skin to heal without interference from pathogens.
Eye Infections: Bacitracin ophthalmic ointment is used to treat bacterial eye infections, such as conjunctivitis (pink eye), keratitis, and blepharitis. It is typically applied to the inner eyelid to prevent bacterial growth and promote healing.
Prevention of Infections: Bacitracin is sometimes applied to surgical incisions or wounds to prevent bacterial infections during the healing process.
Dermatological Conditions: Bacitracin may be used in the treatment of certain dermatological conditions where bacterial infection is a concern, such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne.
Nasal Infections: Bacitracin may be used intranasally to eliminate nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, particularly in patients at risk for surgical site infections or those with recurrent skin infections.
Secondary Infections: Bacitracin is often included in combination with other antibiotics in topical ointments, creams, or sprays for the treatment of secondary bacterial infections associated with skin conditions or wounds.

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
