Risking Antimicrobial Resistance

This innovative volume examines antibiotic use and regulation from the dual angles of one health and social sciences research on risk. Understanding the reasons why perceptions of antibiotic risk differ between different groups is crucial when it comes to tackling antibiotic overuse in a sustainable fashion. This book's unique focus on Denmark - one of the world's most progressive countries when it comes to antibiotic regulation - as well as Europe more broadly makes it very relevant for regulatory deliberations on future antibiotic policy.
