ArgumentThis article examines how antimicrobial resistance (AMR) came to be constituted as a matter of public concern in Sweden in conjunction with the development of an inter-professional organization called Strama, founded to promote rational prescription of antibiotics. An outbreak of penicillin-resistant pneumococci in the mid-1990s was crucial for this development, because it brought attention to AMR as an urgent public threat. This outbreak fuelled the constitution of AMR as caused by consumption of antibiotics and as a matter of disease control. As a consequence, Strama was able to mobilize the Swedish health officers responsible for disease control. The outbreak is conceptualized as a “transformative event” – an event that makes an issue and its associated risks concrete and urgent. Transformative events play the crucial role of expediting the transformation of issues into matters of public concern.

抗菌素耐药性的出现成为公众关注的问题:瑞典“变革性事件”的历史

论点这篇文章探讨了抗菌素耐药性 (AMR) 是如何在瑞典成为公众关注的问题,以及一个名为 Strama 的跨专业组织的发展,该组织旨在促进抗生素的合理处方。1990 年代中期爆发的耐青霉素肺炎球菌对这一发展至关重要,因为它引起了人们对 AMR 作为紧迫公共威胁的关注。由于抗生素的消耗和疾病控制的问题,这次爆发助长了 AMR 的形成。因此,斯特拉马能够动员负责疾病控制的瑞典卫生官员。疫情被概念化为“变革性事件”——使问题及其相关风险变得具体和紧迫的事件。
