Antibiotic resistant infections are one of the biggest threats facing us today.
Why it is relevant to you: without effective antibiotics many routine treatments will become increasingly dangerous. Setting broken bones, basic operations, even chemotherapy and animal health all rely on access to antibiotics that work.
What we want you to do: To slow resistance we need to cut the unnecessary use of antibiotics. Every November is World Antibiotic Awareness Week. As part of that we’re asking everyone in Australia, the public, the farmers and the veterinary and medical community to become Antibiotic Guardians.
Call to action: Choose one simple pledge about how you’ll make better use of antibiotics and help save these vital medicines from becoming obsolete.
Antibiotic Guardian supports the Australia’s National Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy and World Antibiotic Awareness Week (annually in November)
The Australian Antibiotic Guardian page has been completed in collaboration with Agriculture Victoria
