    Abstract : The first hospital outbreak of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and carriage rates of VRE and ampicillin-resistant enterococci (ARE) in Sweden were investigated. Clonal relationships and mutations in fluoroquinolone resistance determining regions among ARE collected nation-wide were studied. READ MORE

  4. 2. Neoehrlichia mikurensis in Sweden : An emerging tick-borne human pathogen

    Author : Lisa Labbé Sandelin; Björn Olsen; Jonas Waldenström; Per-Eric Lindgren; Ivar Tjernberg; Lars Hagberg; Uppsala universitet; []
