PLATINEA - PLATform for INnovation of Existing Antibiotics
PLATINEA
Antibiotic resistance is an increasingly concerning issue in healthcare, with a growing number of bacterial strains becoming resistant to various types of antibiotics. To address this challenge, there is a pressing need for multiple substances and formulations to be made available to healthcare providers. In this regard, PLATINEA (PLATform for INnovation of Existing Antibiotics) is a collaboration platform that aims to optimize the use of existing antibiotics and increase the accessibility of vital antibiotics that risk becoming unavailable in Sweden.
PLATINEA serves as a forum for relevant stakeholders to meet, discuss and work towards the shared objective of addressing the gap between the needs and availability of antibiotics. By optimizing antibiotic use, PLATINEA aims to preserve the efficacy of existing antibiotics and ensure that patients continue to have access to the best possible treatments. PLATINEA is an important tool to address antibiotic resistance, and it offers a promising path forward for collaboration within the Swedish healthcare system.
