What are the risks of antimicrobial resistance?

📉 Less effective treatments
🐖 Economic losses due to sick animals
🥩 Risks to food safety
👥 Threat to public health

Remember flu, colds, and most respiratory infections are caused by viruses, not bacteria.

Antibiotics won’t help, and using them incorrectly speeds up antimicrobial resistance.

Using antimicrobials correctly today ensures they work tomorrow!
