What is Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)? 💊🦠
- Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria develop defences that protect
them from antibiotic medications, making treatment less effective
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasing problem worldwide, affecting both
human and animal health. Antibiotics are essential when treating many conditions in
animals and people, but bacteria are becoming resistant to many antibiotics that we
rely on in human and veterinary medicine.
Our practice is taking part in the antibiotic
amnesty this November. Clients can return any unused or out of date antibiotics to
us for safe disposal.
