The campaign against antibiotic resistance

This website is part of a national awareness-raising campaign to tackle antibiotic resistance. We can only use antibiotics properly if we are all well informed, so that they benefit us and save lives instead of endangering humans, animals and the environment. Our animal friends and human protagonists provide useful information and need your help. Feel free to share what you have learnt on this website. The more, the better – use wisely, take precisely!
