Resistència antimicrobiana

Com podem fer front de manera més eficaç als bacteris resistents als antibiòtics?

L’evidència científica mostra que l’augment de l’ús, la sobre-prescripció i el consum excessiu d’antibiòtics està provocant un increment del nombre de microorganismes resistents a aquests. No obstant això, moltes persones continuen abusant i fent un mal ús de productes antimicrobians perquè no tenen coneixements suficients i profunds sobre infeccions i agents antimicrobians. Aquest és un problema crític arreu del món que està afectant la nostra salut i posant les nostres vides en perill. Per això, és essencial abordar aquest problema a les aules promocionant les accions informades. Aquestes accions s’iniciaran a Xipre, on MULTIPLIERS involucrarà alumnat i les seves famílies en el desenvolupament d’una comprensió més profunda del tema a través d’experiències directes amb diferents membres rellevants, permetent-los, finalment, la presa de decisions informades sobre l’ús d’antibiòtics.
