Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has come to prominence as a priority for policy makers and healthcare professionals.

The article shows how the boundary between ‘dangerous’ and ‘harmless’ circumstances takes place, how the understanding of ‘dangerous’ is contextual, and how the transfer of responsibility shifts from healthcare professionals to relatives. In conclusion, the article reflects on possible future scenarios... (More)
