A species of ordinary gut bacteria that we all carry flourishes when the intestinal flora is knocked out by a course of antibiotics. Since the bacteria is naturally resistant to many antibiotics, it causes problems, particularly in healthcare settings. A study led from Lund University in Sweden now shows how two molecular mechanisms can work together make the bacterium extra resistant. “Using this

Between 2015 and 2020 it became significantly harder to be granted sick insurance in Sweden. Altermark and Plesner examine the lived experiences for chronically ill people of losing financial support. They show that consequences often are drastic, as people experience economic crisis. This in turn gives rise to stress and uncertainty with regards to the future that often contributes to deteriorati
