Abstract:
This book describes clinical and microbiologic aspects, pathogenesis, and diagnostics, related to the severe and rapidly spreading necrotizing soft tissue infections. The work has its foundation in a recently completed European Union funded FP7-project called INFECT, which during the period 2013-2018 focused on utilizing a systems medicine approach to increase our understanding of these heterogenous and complex life-threatening infections. In this chapter, the aim and scope as well as key achievements of the INFECT-project are described.
