Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance

-Automatic translation

The 18th of November is devoted to raising antibiotic awareness in the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). This day, a week of awareness about the prudent use of antibiotics at the World Health Organization (WHO) begins. This awareness-raising campaign aims to remind the public, government, healthcare professionals, and other actors of the threat of the global spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

The causes of antibiotic resistance are diverse, but careless use of antibiotics in humans and animals is one of the most important. The discovery of antibiotics is one of the most remarkable discoveries in medicine, and they have prevented millions of complications and deaths due to infectious diseases and infections. Therefore, it is essential to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance and protect the effectiveness of antibiotics.
