Our AMR communications and factsheet
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microbes, such as bacteria, evolve the ability to survive exposure to medicines previously used to treat them. View our AMR communications and factsheet to learn more.
The Antimicrobial Resistance Toolkit
We developed a toolkit aimed at community practitioners and patients to provide basic information on antimicrobial resistance and responsible use of antibiotics. You can view and download the Toolkit here.
