Understanding & Combating Antimicrobial Resistance for a Secure Future

United in the Fight Against a Post-Anti­bio­tic Future

“The time may come when peni­cil­lin can be bought by anyo­ne in the shops. Then the­re is the dan­ger that the igno­rant man may easi­ly under­do­se hims­elf and by expo­sing his micro­bes to non-lethal quan­ti­ties of the drug make them.”
Alex­an­der Fle­ming (1936)

Understanding Resistance: Research as the Key to Securing New Therapies

To act decisi­ve­ly – whe­ther through deve­lo­ping new anti­bio­tics with AI or gai­ning a bet­ter under­stan­ding of resistant bac­te­ria in diver­se envi­ron­ments – it is cru­cial to con­duct and pro­mo­te more rese­arch in the­se are­as. A pro­found sci­en­ti­fic under­stan­ding of the spread and mecha­nisms of resis­tance is essen­ti­al to pre­ser­ve the effi­ca­cy of anti­bio­tics for the future and com­bat anti­mi­cro­bi­al resistance.

Political Decision-Making and Policies

Policy Action Based on Scientific Facts

Tar­ge­ted poli­ti­cal action, infor­med by sci­en­ti­fic input, is neces­sa­ry to crea­te effec­ti­ve poli­ci­es and com­bat anti­bio­tic resis­tance. This is the only way public funds can be used effi­ci­ent­ly to sup­port rese­arch, imple­ment meaningful mea­su­res, and secu­re the effec­ti­ve­ness of anti­bio­tics for future gene­ra­ti­ons. Strong public health stra­te­gies depend on this synergy.

 

Science for Everyone

Informing the Public: Understanding as the First Step to a Secure Future

For the gene­ral public to act effec­tively, they must under­stand the com­ple­xi­ties sur­roun­ding anti­bio­tic resis­tance. Clear, easi­ly diges­ti­ble infor­ma­ti­on, free of tech­ni­cal jar­gon, is key to rai­sing awa­re­ness and ther­eby con­tri­bu­ting to kee­ping our anti­bac­te­ri­al arse­nal func­tion­al for the future. Public awa­re­ness is a cor­ner­stone in the glo­bal action plan against anti­mi­cro­bi­al resistance.

 

Small Steps – Big Impact

Individual Actions: Contributing to Preserving Antibiotics

Every indi­vi­du­al can con­tri­bu­te through con­scious actions to pro­tect us from a post-anti­bio­tic future. Simp­le mea­su­res such as good hygie­ne or the cor­rect use of anti­bio­tics may seem like small steps. Coll­ec­tively, howe­ver, they can have a signi­fi­cant impact in the fight against anti­mi­cro­bi­al resistance.

Surveillance: Ensuring the Continued Efficacy of Our Antibiotics

Ongo­ing sur­veil­lan­ce and moni­to­ring are essen­ti­al to under­stand the resis­tance land­scape and adapt the­ra­pies accor­din­gly (see also: https://atlas.ecdc.europa.eu/public/index.aspx). The data obtai­ned helps medi­cal per­son­nel act respon­si­bly, respond to exis­ting resis­tance pat­terns, and ther­eby iden­ti­fy effec­ti­ve tre­at­ment stra­te­gies against resistant infections.
