ABR-Scan Science Week 35
Unit for Antibiotics and Infection Control
This ABR-Scan Science is compiled by the Unit for Antibiotics and Infection Control at the
Public Health Agency of Sweden. It includes a summary of links to recent articles from a
selection of 17 scientific journals that we find interesting. All journals included in the scan are
listed at the bottom of the document. The articles are sorted according to our categorization:
surveillance, treatment and diagnosis, prevention and intervention, microbiology and other. If
you have any comments or suggestions, please send an e-mail to Karin Carlin at [email protected]
