ABR-Scan Science Week 48-49
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 Jonas Fuks at [email protected]
