Packaging is a major issue for humanity – 40 percent of plastic waste globally is made up of the wrappers and containers that products are sold in.

There is great potential in utilising citizen science projects in the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

What lessons did we learn and how can they be applied to AMR communication?

At the Australian Centre for Disease Control (CDC), we recognise that AMR is a complex, multi-sectoral challenge that stretches far beyond human health.

Communicating the threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is often hindered by inaccessible language and technical complexity.

We’re using the power of memes to raise awareness about the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and its impact on global health.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is often seen as a hospital problem, but it can impact our everyday lives in less obvious ways — through the food on our plates.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Australian residential aged care homes is a growing concern due to the prevalence of infections and the frequent use of antibiotics.

If there was one wafer-thin silver lining to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was that everyone rapidly learned what a virus was, and how it wasn’t a bacterium.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in waterways presents a critical threat. If commonly used antibiotics are deemed useless, decades of progress in human medicine and agriculture could be undermined.

An often-overlooked aspect of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is its emergence and spread in the environment, particularly in water sources.

TB kills more than 1 million people each year, and resistance to effective treatment is on the rise.
