[Diner]

Dr. Thomas F. O’Brien, a visionary who addressed the dangers of antimicrobial resistance, and who served as the first director of the infectious diseases division at what is now Brigham and Women’s Hospital, died Monday in his Brookline home. He was 95 and his health had been failing. His wife, Ruth Reardon O’Brien, who was the second woman partner at the Ropes & Gray law firm, was 92 when she died Thursday in their home.
