Antibiotic resistance is a serious and growing public health challenge in Europe.
Misuse and overuse make bacteria resistant, making infections harder to treat.

Field epidemiologists often work in challenging conditions, where time and resources are limited.
Mobile labs are transforming their work by bringing diagnostics to outbreak sites and cutting wait times from days to hours.
