Over-prescribing antibiotics contributes to #AMR. A way to combat this is by better monitoring antibiotic use and prescribing. @blackemk is developing a digital dashboard to make this information more readily accessible in Nova Scotia.

So pleased to see this report released highlighting pull incentives to improve access to antimicrobials in Canada! #antimicrobialresistance #amr

Our newest report, Overcoming Resistance, describes pull incentives that could broaden Canadian access to existing antimicrobials and motivate the development of new ones. https://t.co/YBBq2pFT8c

You are given a list of 7 antimicrobials. Use your knowledge of spectrum of activity. Some numbers may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

What is the 7-digit code to escape?
