Description: Antimicrobial Resistance is the ability of a microorganism to resist antimicrobial agents so antibiotics will be unable to treat infections.
The AMR Patient Group is open to working with patient groups across Europe to address the serious public health threat posed by Antimicrobial Resistance. If you are interested in joining the group, please email [email protected] .
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is the ability of a microorganism (e.g., a bacterium, a virus, or a parasite) to resist the action of one or more antimicrobial agents or antibiotics. Levels of antibiotic consumption consistently correlate with levels of antibiotic resistance, i.e. the more an antibiotic is used, the more resistant the bacteria can become. As a result, antibiotics will not be able to treat infections any longer. Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most serious threats to public health glob
Raising patient awareness about AMR and healthcare-associated infections to help reduce antibiotic misuse.
