Sorry for asking such a simple question.
Would it be possible to assemble people by prefixes, in order to avoid repeating the titles?
For example, it feels right to replace
Dr. A and Dr. B
by
Drs. A and B
But when writing
Prof. Dr. A and Prof. Dr. B
Is it OK to write it as ___ ?
Prof. Drs. A and B
Thank you!

Professor Doctor is not a common title in the English-speaking world. If someone is a professor, you can call her professor, and if someone has a doctorate, you can call him doctor, and if both are true of someone, you pick one or the other dependent on setting.
