Antibiotics save lives, but they’re not all the same. 🧫
Each type fights bacteria differently. When we misuse them, bacteria get stronger.
Learn the 7 main types and why smart use matters. Together, we can stop antimicrobial resistance. #AntibioticAwareness
Professor Folasade T. Ogunsola, Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos, Nigeria, discusses the "silent pandemic" of #AMR in Africa & what needs to be done to address it, including promoting awareness of AMR & improving adherence to best practice. #ASMicrobe
Drug-resistant infections know no borders 💊
That’s why tomorrow, a UN High-Level Meeting will take place to address the global issue of antimicrobial resistance (#AMR).
Explore the latest research 🧵
#AntimicrobialResistance occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites no longer respond to medicines, making people sicker and increasing the risk of disease spread, illness and deaths.
#AMR is driven in large part by the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials.

🦠 Antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) is one of today’s most urgent global health threats. This #AMRAwarenessWeek, we’re spotlighting how #Nepal is taking decisive action to tackle AMR through a #OneHealth approach with support from @Pandemic_Fund.
Key highlights from the new impact story:
✔️ 930+ poultry farmers trained in #biosecurity measures
✔️ Antimicrobial susceptibility testing expanded to 21 hospitals and 5 provincial laboratories
✔️ A national roadmap developed to elevate veterinary laboratories to international standards
✔️ 500+ school programs on AMR conducted, reaching approximately 22,000 students

"The problem of [antimicrobial resistance (#AMR)] has been seen as either not urgent or too difficult to solve. Neither is true."
A Lancet Series spotlights this global issue & how existing infection prevention methods could save 750,000 lives a year: https://t.co/ksx5T90GYI #WorldAMRAwarenessWeek
💊 Antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) poses a serious global health threat, projected to claim almost 2 million lives in 2050.
A new @LancetRH_Europe Review discusses the need to strengthen AMR governance through a unified European approach for lasting progress: https://t.co/rbdhqYJT9d #WorldAMRAwarenessWeek
#AntimicrobialResistance (#AMR) is rising worldwide, making common infections harder to treat and threatening decades of medical progress.
Health workers are on the frontline of protecting antimicrobials, here’s how:
- Diagnose first
- Prescribe smart
- Optimize treatment
- Educate and document
