[22 Mar 2019] Utvecklandet av en moln-plattform för sjukhuslaboratorier och smittskyddsmyndigheter i hela världen som möjliggör användning av DNA- sekvensering av antibiotika-resistenta bakterier för infektionskontroll och diagnostik samt delning av data, har prisats.
[22 Mar 2019] In this study Monika Djerf-Pierre from JMG and CARe together with colleagues from Monash University, Australia shows that journalism plays an important role on YouTube by generating audience discussions about social and political accountability.

[15 Mar 2019] The present position is funded by the project EDAR, a collaboration between the universities of Gothenburg, Princeton and Umeå, supported by the Swedish Research Council to develop a multidisciplinary research environment on the environmental dimensions of antibiotic resistance.
[11 Mar 2019] Norway are now following Sweden in the countries' attempt to create incentives for better pollution control during manufacturing of pharmaceuticals.
[21 Feb 2019] By a comparative genomics approach, Stefan Ebmeyer, Erik Kristiansson and Joakim Larsson have identifed the bacterial species from which several beta-lactamases were transferred to a range of important pathogens.
[7 Feb 2019] A new, multidisciplinary paper by CARe-researchers Christian Munthe, Niels Nijsingh, Karl de Fine Licht and Joakim Larsson addresses the impact of new, more widely applicable and more demanding research ethical guidelines for research to evaluate interventions to manage antibiotic resistance.
"This serious threat is no longer a prediction for the future, it is happening right now in every region of the world and has the potential to affect anyone, of any age, in any country"
"Without urgent, coordinated action by many stakeholders, the world is headed for a post-antibiotic era, in which common infections and minor injuries which have been treatable for decades can once again kill"
(World Health Organization 2014 regarding the global challenges with antibiotic resistance)
“It is not difficult to make microbes resistant to penicillin in the laboratory by exposing them to concentrations not sufficient to kill them… There is the danger that the ignorant man may easily underdose himself and by exposing his microbes to non-lethal quantities of the drug make them resistant.”
(Alexander Flemming, Nobel Lecture, December 11, 1945)
