👱🏼🧑🏿‍🦳What happens to your own bacteria when you take antibiotics? 🦠Bacteria in your microbiome can become resistant 👉🏽 spreading into communities 👉🏾 making future infections more difficult to treat. 🐔🐮 The same also happens in animal microbiomes.

How can young people help address #AntibioticResistance? Join this online workshop to learn about the ReAct Toolbox and how to get involved! 🌍💻 #ReActToolbox

🐔🐮 Do healthy animals need antibiotics? 🛑 No they don't. 💊 Antibiotics are for treatment of bacterial infections and not for routine use in fodder for healthy animals. 🦠 Routine use of antibiotics drives antibiotic resistance 👉 bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics. 🏥 This leads to treatment failures. 🫸 🛑 Together we need to stop routine use of antibiotics in animals - and instead prevent infections to ensure antibiotics remain effective - when we really need them. 🙏 @react_latina @ReActAfrica_RAN #AMR #AntibioticResistance #OneHealth
