SLU contributes to the fight against antibiotic resistance
Antibiotic resistance is a growing threat to both humans and animals. SLU’s research helps curb the spread of resistant bacteria – and during AMR week, we highlight this work through lectures, interviews with researchers, and popular science features.
Susanna is SLU's new professor in One Health and antimicrobial resistance
I want to strengthen SLU’s AMR work within the One Health concept, connect research groups to address this complex challenge, and increase the visibility of SLU’s One Health research both nationally and globally.
Sectors must work together to combat antibiotic resistance
Antibiotic resistance is a true One Health issue because bacteria are rarely limited to one animal species or location. This means that resistance that develops in livestock can spread to humans ‒ for example, through direct contact, the environment, or animal-source foods.

SLU's Future Platforms
Interdisciplinarity at SLU
One of the most important goals for the Future Platforms is to develop interdisciplinary working methods at SLU by initiating and enabling collaboration across scientific disciplinary boundaries.
The One Health Breakfast Club
Take the opportunity to engage in transdisciplinary discussions and spark new collaborations with fellow researchers. We start with a short inspirational talk, followed by a tasty breakfast together. See the dates for upcoming events!
