Abstract

The Swedish Reference Group for Antibiotics (SRGA) is an expert committee within the Swedish Medical Society and has been working with different aspects of susceptibility testing of bacteria to antibiotics since 1978. The emphasis has been on standardization of methodology, evaluation of the in vitro activity of new and old antibiotics, and the detection and significance of resistance mechanisms in bacteria. In the following a review is presented of the work conducted by the SRGA.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.
