  3. 12. Antibiotikaresistens hos Campylobacter jejuni : skillnader mellan djurslag och länder

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Sofia Daresjö; [2017]
    Keywords : Campylobacter jejuni; antibiotikaresistens; djurarter; länder;

    Abstract : Antibiotikaresistens är i dagens samhälle ett av de största hoten inom den moderna sjukvården. Felaktig och överdriven användning av antibiotika leder till selektion av resistenta bakterier, då de icke resistenta avdödas av antimikrobiella substanser. Antibiotika används över hela världen på human- och djursidan. READ MORE
