Brief Summary
Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health problem of great concern, especially multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. In recent years some new antibiotics targeting these bacteria have been developed. The aim of this study is to investigate how these new antibiotics are used in Sweden. Information will be collected on patients, types of infections, dosing strategies, treatment outcome and occurrence of antibiotic resistance during treatment. The overall goal is to increase the knowledge about how these antibiotics are prescribed and how to optimize the use of them in clinical practice.
