What is AMR?
Antimicrobial resistance occurs when microbes develop the ability to resist the effects of medications that used to work against them.
Be AMR Aware
Learn more about antimicrobial resistance, why it matters, and how we can all help.
Everyone can help! Here are three ways to start.
1
Help prevent and stop the spread of infections. Fewer infections lead to less use of antibiotics overall, reducing the pressure on microbes to develop resistance.
2
To slow AMR, help reduce unnecessary use of antibiotics that drive resistance.
3
Learn about responsible antimicrobial use
When an antibiotic or other antimicrobial is necessary and prescribed, we can all help ensure appropriate use.
