Antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest health challenges of our time and it is solvable.
Promote responsible use of antimicrobials.
Animal, human, and plant health are interdependent.
Antimicrobial resistance in one sector affects all.
Almost 5 million human deaths were linked to antimicrobial resistance in 2019.
That is three times more than deaths from diabetes or lung cancer.
Preserve animal and plant health to preserve human health.
Many animal illnesses do not require antibiotics.
Misuse of antibiotics in pets feeds antimicrobial resistance.
Misuse can impact plant and human health.
Ask your vet before treating your pet.
Use antibiotics for animals only when prescribed by a veterinarian.
Respect dosage, frequency, length of treatment, and withdrawal period.
Vaccinating pets and livestock keeps them healthy and reduces antibiotic use.
This helps curb antimicrobial resistance.
Store or dispose of unused antibiotics according to manufacturer instructions.
Do not reuse antibiotics without a veterinarian's supervision.
Using antibiotics in healthy food-producing animals for growth promotion feeds antimicrobial resistance.
Antimicrobial resistance threatens animals, plants, and humans.
Assess the risk and move on to safer practices.
Ask your representatives to make the fight against antimicrobial resistance a priority.
Antimicrobial resistance can develop on farms where antibiotics are misused.
Demand meat produced with good animal husbandry and farming practices.
This ensures your meat is safe, without antibiotic residues or resistant pathogens.
