Antibiotics save lives, but their overuse and misuse are leading to antibiotic resistance, making infections harder to treat. Let's delve into what antibiotic resistance is and what we can do to combat it. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria evolve and become resistant to the antibiotics designed to kill them. This means infections become harder to treat, leading to longer illness, increased healthcare costs, and even death. So, what can we do to combat antibiotic resistance? First, use antibiotics wisely. Take them only when prescribed by a healthcare professional, and always complete the full course, even if you feel better. #PublicHealth #Healthcare #AFHEG

Antibiotics are powerful tools against bacterial infections, but they’re not always the answer. Learn when they’re essential—and when they can do more harm than good. Protect your health and help prevent antibiotic resistance by using them wisely. Antibiotics can be lifesaving, but overuse and misuse lead to antibiotic resistance, making infections harder to treat.

As an animal health practitioner, a one health advocate and a risk communicator, sensitization and education on public health issues becomes inevitable to ignore. So here are some things to note about antibiotics; ⭐There are different classes of antibiotics and these classes each have different mechanisms of action against the microbes they work against. Some are either bacteriostatic or bacteriocidal. ⭐ The World Health Organization classifies antibiotics in to #AWaRe to serve as a tool to monitor Antimicrobial consumption (AMC) to optimize antimicrobial use (AMU) and curb Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) A- Access group; It represents the classes of antibiotics we are supposed to have access to at all times, they are mostly relatively affordable and are usually used to treat common infections. Wa - Watch group ; It represents classes of antibiotics that are of highest priority, critically used for specific and limited indications in human and veterinary health and are being carefully observed due to increasing resistance patterns. Re - Reserve group ; It represents classes of antibiotics that should only be used as a last resort when all other antibiotics in the access and watch groups have failed. (Note: Some Reserve group antibiotics are beginning to show resistance patterns too) ⭐ From the above, you should not be self medicating without prescription and supervision from a qualified medical personnel or vet. ⭐The 1st antibiotics #Penicillins was discovered in 1928 and the last class introduced in recent times, dates as far back as 1987. For over 20years there has been no new discoveries of new antibiotic classes to add to Reserve group antibiotics to make room for the few that have started showing resistance. ⭐ Scientists are beginning to look into the adaptation of bacteriocins as a promising substitute for resistant antibiotics for In Vivo treatments. I hope from my brief post, you've learnt a thing or two on AMR and antibiotics . To be continued ..... Let's handle antimicrobials with care by not abusing them, be it in humans, fisheries,pets or farmed food animals. #Onehealth #goodhealthandwellbeing #antimicrobialawareness #sdg3 #sdg17

💊 Sticking to Your Antibiotic Course is Tough—But Here’s Why You MUST Do It 💡 We all know how hard it can be to finish that full antibiotic course—especially when you start feeling better halfway through. But skipping doses or stopping early comes with a big risk: Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). This means the bacteria become resistant to treatment, making future infections harder (and more expensive) to treat. 💥 The cost of AMR? Potentially deadly infections that current medicines can't treat! Here are some tips to help stick to your course: 🔔Set reminders – Use your phone to alert you when it’s time for your next dose. 📍Incorporate into daily routine – Take your medication at the same time as other daily habits, like brushing your teeth before and after bed. 💊Use a pillbox– This helps you track what you’ve taken and prevents missed doses. 😎Understand the importance– Remind yourself why finishing your antibiotics is key to preventing AMR and how this is a service to both you and your family. Complete the course. Protect yours and your loved ones future. Alliance against Antimicrobial Antipathy -AAA #FightAMR #AntibioticResistance #StayHealthy
