Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic resistance, where bacteria evolve to withstand medicines, significantly threatens global public health by making infections harder to treat in humans, pets, and livestock. This resistance leads to persistent infections, increased disease severity, higher healthcare costs, and greater mortality. It jeopardizes the treatment of common infectious diseases, potentially making minor injuries and routine life-threatening surgeries. The issue also impacts veterinary medicine and agriculture, complicating outbreaks in animals, affecting food safety, and reducing farm productivity.
Norwegian resources
In Norway, various resources offer detailed information on antimicrobial resistance research and surveillance. Data from some resources are available for secondary use, while others require researchers to apply for access to the data. FHI (Folkehelseinstituttet) maintain an overview of stakeholders and areas of responsibility.
