This video explains what antibiotics and the microbiome are, how they work, and side effects that patients may experience. It also provides helpful questions for patients and their families to ask their health care providers when they have been prescribed antibiotics.
Please note that this video is also available on youtube , with the minor addition of the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Kenya in the credits, as it is now endorsed as part of national training activities for AMR in Kenya.
You don't always need antibiotics when you're sick—only for infections caused by bacteria. And overuse is causing a global health problem.
How does antibiotic resistance spread?
Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria to combat the action of one or more antibiotics.
Humans and animals do not become resistant to antibiotic treatments, but bacteria carried by humans and animals can.
At the Society's 2014 Annual Conference, Professor Laura Piddock was awarded the Society's Marjory Stephenson Prize. Her is her prize lecture, in which she talks about the mechanisms underlying antimicrobial resistance
Learn about superbugs from a superbug itself!
This animated video explains how bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics and eventually turn into superbugs, that are resistant to most known antibiotics.
The videos introduce AMR, what it is, and how it is spread (hospital-acquired, community-acquired, foods of animal origin, environmentally acquired). The take-home messages are what can be done to reduce the risk of AMR. They were produced through a partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organiza...
What have we learned about COVID-19 and antibiotics so far? What happens when antibiotics are not taken according to prescription or are used irrationally? When are antibiotics prescribed in the course of COVID-19 treatment? Professor Hanan H. Balkhy explains in Science in 5 this week.
Antimicrobial Resistance or AMR continues to pose a major threat to human development and to the fight against infectious diseases. It also endangers animal health and welfare, and food production, and severely impacts our economies and societies. An holistic approach must be used to mitigate AMR ri...
How do they work in an ICC to prevent or mitigate nosocomial infections?
Are you clear that we can all do something to avoid them?
A simple hand wash can make a difference.
Inés Lavega has a degree in nursing and worked for more than 8 years at the CTI of Hospital Maciel, the first public hospit...
Did you know that they are part of Antimicrobial Resistance?
Are you clear that we can all do something to avoid them?
