Another example of AB = antibiotici here. You can find lots of examples if you just do a search for "antibiotici AB" in Google.

Glad to help. And it looks like AB is also used to abbreviate 'antibiotic' in English.

One of many examples: Abbreviations: AB, antibiotic; ABS, antibiotic stewardship; AMR, antimicrobial resistance; LMIC, low- and middle-income countries; R&D, research and development; ... etc. This one is found below, but you can find lots of "antibiotic AB" pairings in English files on the internet.
