Antibiotic resistance in ecology and agriculture

The correct use of antibiotics is important for the environment, because antibiotics also leave their mark on nature. Resistant bacteria that cause disease can put humans and animals at risk via the environment and agriculture.

Antibiotic resistance in animals

Sick animals are also entitled to treatment with antibiotics. But these should be used carefully and only where necessary. Your veterinary practitioner knows all about this.

Antibiotic resistance in humans

Bacteria are able to adapt in such a way that antibiotics are no longer effective. So it is not people who become resistant, but bacteria.

Resistant bacteria can prolong or even prevent treatment. It is important for us all to be better informed about the correct use of antibiotics.

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!
