Some #TB germs are resistant to medicines used to treat TB disease. The most important way to prevent drug-resistant TB disease is for all people being treated for TB disease to take all medicine exactly as prescribed. Learn more: bit.ly/3YJprdL #USAAW24 @CDC_AR

Remember learning in science class about tiny germs that can make you sick? No? Well, lucky for us, our FSIS microbiologists do! Think of them as the referees of food safety, always monitoring harmful bacteria trying to outmaneuver our medicine-cabinet superheroes – antibiotics! #WAAW
