This worrying trend will be a leading cause of death in future generations.

There is an invisible enemy among us. It has been called the greatest public health challenge of our time, yet the knowledge of this topic remains limited and is not widespread. For all of human history, we’ve managed to live in harmony with microbes, but now they pose a great threat to our existence. If not for a timely change in our behavior, antimicrobial resistance may be the cause of our undoing.   Jump to What is a microbe Why we use antimicrobials What is antimicrobial/antibacterial resistance Who does it affect Antimicrobials are being abused Health impact so far What you can do to help Hopes for the future Conclusion What is a microbe Microbes are microscopic organisms such as bacteria and fungi.
