¿De verdad necesito antibióticos? -hoja informativa para los pacientes
Los antibióticos tratan solamente las infecciones causadas por bacterias. Como todos los medicamentos, los antibióticos pueden ser dañinos y deben usarse solo cuando sea necesario.

Your healthcare team has decided you or your loved one has an infection that requires antibiotics, or needs antibiotics to prevent an infection in certain circumstances, such as before surgery - Fact Sheet for Patients
Hoja informativa para los pacientes
Each year, 33000 people die from an infection due to bacteria resistant to antibiotics. The burden of infections with bacteria resistant to antibiotics on the European population is comparable to that of influenza, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS combined.
Antibiotic resistant bacteria are spreading at an alarming rate and some bacterial infections may once again be untreatable. Antibiotic resistance (ABR), conservatively calculated, causes more than 500 000 deaths every year. This number is projected to rise dramatically if radical actions are not ta... more
Antimicrobial resistance happens when microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites) change when they are exposed to antimicrobial drugs (such as antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, antimalarials, and anthelmintics). Microorganisms that develop antimicrobial resistance are someti... more

La RAM se produce cuando los microorganismos (bacterias, hongos, virus y parásitos) sufren cambios al verse expuestos a los antimicrobianos (antibióticos, antifúngicos, antivíricos, antipalúdicos o antihelmínticos, por ejemplo). Los microorganismos resistentes a la mayoría de los antimicrobia... more
La résistance aux antimicrobiens Esurvient lorsque les micro-organismes (bactéries, champignons, virus et parasites) évoluent quand ils sont exposés à des médicaments antimicrobiens (comme les antibiotiques, les antifongiques, les antiviraux, les antipaludiques et les anthelminthiques). On ap... more
Antimicrobial Resistance can effect us all! Take action now
Antibiotic resistance concerns us all – everyone can take action to address this pressing issue. There are many ways to contribute in the work to limit antibiotic resistance development and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria. See overview below for inspiration and flip the page for more detai... more
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a complex issue of global concern. AMR is not simply a problem of medical science being beaten by nature; human action and perverse incentives play a major role in its development. The misuse of antibiotics in the medical, veterinary and agricultural sectors, which ... more
The ability of bacteria to resist the action of an antibiotic has become a recognised global problem. Antibiotic resistance severely limits the number of antibiotics available for the treatment of diseases.
Take Action on Antimicrobial Resistance.For students in college and university This is a booklet that is suitable for readers with a developed intellect. It is well summarized in a way that captures the most important facts to remember and actions to take against AMR.
Antibiotic resistance is a natural occurrence caused by mutations in bacteria’s genes. However, inappropriate use of antibiotics accelerates the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. When exposed to antibiotics, susceptible bacteria are killed; while excessive antibiotic use or th... more
Carbapenems are a major last-line class of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections.The spread of carbapenem-resistant infections is a threat to healthcare andpatient safety in Europe as it seriously curtails the ability to cure infections. The spread of carbapenem-resistant infections is a threat ... more
