✨ Did you know? Antibiotics don’t work against the cold or flu, which are caused by viruses.

It is World Antimicrobial Awareness Week! Antibiotics are our precious resources, and they can save lives. 💊 When germs such as bacteria outsmart our antibiotics, we’re in trouble! Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) happens when bacteria evolve to survive antibiotics that once killed them. 🦠

Using antibiotics wisely today means they'll still work when we really need them tomorrow! 🛡️💕
