Antibiotics do not work against viruses that cause colds and will not help you feel better. Using these drugs when not needed can lead to the development of #AntimicrobialResistance.
Take steps to manage your symptoms and prevent spreading the virus: bit.ly/4kBsAVp
ALT Purple graphic with white icon of someone sneezing on the left. To the right, text reads “Did you know? You can catch a cold any time of year. While viruses like flu and RSV are common in winter, other cold-causing viruses can circulate in spring, summer, and fall.”

Exactly how does #AntimicrobialResistance spread from germ to germ? Check out this fact sheet to learn more:
ALT An educational diagram by the CDC titled "How Antimicrobial Resistance Moves Directly Germ to Germ." The image illustrates three ways this can happen: through plasmids, transposons, and phages. Brief descriptions and visual representations are provided for each method, including circular movement of plasmids, DNA snippets in transposons, and bacteriophage transferring DNA. The text emphasizes how antibiotics kill bacteria but resistant survivors remain and can spread.

It’s #WorldAMRAwarenessWeek!
In 2019, almost 5 million deaths were associated with #AntimicrobialResistance (AMR).
If we act now, we can stop the spread of AMR and save millions of lives.

Serum LFA cryptococcal antigen screening is an effective and rapid tool for the diagnosis of cryptococcosis. It is very important to check the clinical situation of the patient for correct treatment. #HIV #mycology #LFA #AIDS

In a recent @WSJ article, Dr. Andrej Spec (@FungalDoc) attributed warming temperatures, as well as other environmental alterations associated with climate change, to the spread of the disease.

A popular video game & HBO series “The Last of Us” has brought awareness to the growing threat of fungal infections. Coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever) was once mostly limited to the Southwestern US, but now patients are being diagnosed in significant numbers in most states.
