World Antibiotic Awareness Week
 |
| World Antibiotic Awareness Week (WAAW |
World Antibiotic Awareness Week (WAAW) aims to increase global
awareness of antibiotic resistance and to encourage best practices among
the general public, health workers and policy makers to avoid the
further emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance.Since
their discovery, antibiotics have served as the cornerstone of modern
medicine.
However, the persistent overuse and misuse of antibiotics in
human and animal health have encouraged the emergence and spread of
antibiotic resistance, which occurs when microbes, such as bacteria,
become resistant to the drugs used to treat them.
