    Author : Hissa M Al-Farsi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The spread of antibiotic resistance is a concerning issue causing limited treatment options for bacterial infections, particularly with Gram-negative bacteria. Surveillance and epidemiological studies help to determine the magnitude of the problem as well as to establish early measures to slow down the spread of resistance and consequently increase antibiotic lifespan.
