 This is a scary antibiotic resistant bacteria. It's been causing humans and animals all sorts of health problems. Here are some steps everyone can take to stop the spread of antimicrobial resistance. Throwing away antibiotics helps create resistant bacteria in pipes, sewers, waterways and ultimately out oceans and the environment at large. Protect the environment. Don't throw away antibiotics. Bring what you do not use to your health professional. Misuse of antimicrobials in humans and animals helps develop powerful resistant bacteria. Doctors and veterinarians should provide appropriate prescriptions, follow their recommendations. Bacteria can grow strong and resistant and be shared in dirty and unclean environments, especially in hospitals and farms. Control their spread by keeping hands and tools clean and hygienic. Don't let antimicrobial resistance take control. Be responsible when using antibiotics.
