You can help reduce the spread of 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢: • Wash your hands with soap and water • Follow safe food and water habits when traveling • Stay home when sick Responsible prevention and awareness help slow #AntimicrobialResistance.

𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 is a bacterium that causes an infection called shigellosis, leading to diarrhea and stomach illness. Drug-resistant 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 infections are rising, making some infections harder to treat. 🧵👇

Antimicrobial resistance is a global challenge that requires global collaboration. Prof. Sheila Tlou highlights the importance of strong laboratory systems, timely diagnosis, and international cooperation in addressing #AMR. Because tackling AMR requires action from all of us.

Resistant infections can interrupt cancer treatment in ways that are not always visible. Dr. Michael Satlin shares how complications linked to #AMR may delay therapy and reduce treatment options for patients. Hear the full conversation: antimicrobialresistancefighters.org/podcasts?seaso…

Conflict, climate change, pandemics, and migration drive global instability. But these same forces are also accelerating the rise of drug-resistant infections. Read insights from Dr. Manica on why #AMR must be part of the global security agenda: telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…

Responsible antibiotic use and infection prevention are important steps in slowing #AntimicrobialResistance. 🎧 Learn more in Superbugs and You, Episode Six: When antibiotics cause harm, 𝘊. 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧: antimicrobialresistancefighters.org/podcasts?seaso… #AMResistanceFighters

To reduce risk at home, the @CDCgov recommends: ➡️ Take antibiotics only when you need them ➡️ Wash your hands with soap and water after using the bathroom and before eating ➡️ Clean and disinfect commonly touched surfaces if someone in your home is sick

𝘊𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘰𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘦 (#CDiff) is a bacterium that can cause diarrhea and colitis and can be life-threatening. Most infections occur during or soon after antibiotic use. 🧵👇

#AntimicrobialResistance can disrupt cancer care when infections become harder to treat. Dr. Yehoda Martei explains why safe treatment depends on antibiotics working when they are needed most. Listen to Superbugs and You, Ep 17: Cancer and AMR: antimicrobialresistancefighters.org/podcasts?seaso…

#InfectionPrevention is key to slowing #AntimicrobialResistance. Learn more about resistant 𝘚𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘩𝘪 and the role of vaccines in Episode 12 of Superbugs and You: Vaccines and the Vulnerable: Resistant Salmonella Typhi: antimicrobialresistancefighters.org/podcasts?seaso…

Prevention helps reduce illness and limit the need for antibiotics. #Vaccination before international travel, especially to South Asia, and practicing safe eating and drinking habits can help prevent typhoid fever.

An emerging strain of #𝘚𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘩𝘪 is raising concern. This strain, called REPJPP01, is resistant to multiple commonly recommended antibiotics, making #TyphoidFever harder to treat. 🧵👇
