Development of infections resistant to antibiotics is a threat to modern healthcare. Our vision is to help eradicate the spread of antibiotic resistance.
A challenge to modern healthcare that concerns everyone, everywhere
Almost everybody today have antibiotics to thank for the life or health of a loved one. Antibiotics makes routine procedures safe and advanced treatments possible. When infections become resistant to antibiotics, we lose our ability to treat them.
A new approach to prevent infections in vulnerable people could radically reduce the need for antibiotic treatment
Peter Bergman, one of the researchers that has received funding from PAR Foundation, is investigating how novel compounds could trigger the immune response to treat or even prevent infections. This approach has potential to dramatically reduce the need for antibiotic treatment and a very low risk of driving resistance.
“Antibiotika är mitt arbetsredskap”
Sverige är ett föregångsland i arbetet mot antibiotikaresistens, men även här ökar de resistenta infektionerna. Infektionsläkare Anna Nordlander berättar om sina erfarenheter.

Why prevention?
Prevention is needed to slow down resistance development to a pace where development of new treatments can keep up
Prevention is neglected, especially approaches such as infection prevention in vulnerable groups and low-income settings
Prevention is possible – as demonstrated by great geographical variation in resistance burden
