November 18-24, 2025
Antibiotics are powerful medicines that treat certain infections caused by bacteria, but they don't work for viruses like colds, and the flu.
Any time antibiotics are used, they can cause side effects and can contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance. In other words, taking antibiotics when you don't need them can make bacteria stronger and harder to treat in the future.
During USAAW remember these tips:
- Only take antibiotics exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
- Don't save leftover antibiotics or share with others.
- Practice good hygiene and stay up to date on vaccines to help reduce the risk of infections especially when traveling.
📌Learn more and share about the critical role antibiotics play in human health, environmental health, animal health, and beyond using the USAAW Toolkit.
