Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Help to keep antibiotics working!

The discovery of antibiotics in the 1940s heralded a new age in modern medicine. This was quickly followed by the emergence and spread of drug-resistant bacteria, which we now know to be antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Antibiotics are used to prevent and treat infections in people, animals and plants.  The more antibiotics are used, the more the bugs they affect evolve and the antimicrobials stop working (AMR). 

If antibiotics are misused and not taken for the correct condition the sooner they will stop working.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the NHS are working together to deliver the following messages to all patients;

• Antibiotics should not be taken for colds and flu
• If you are prescribed antibiotics taken them as directed by your GP or pharmacist
• Don't save your antibiotics for later or share them with you friends and family.

If we work together we can slow down antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
