Antimicrobial Stewardship (Bitesize)

Trending3.5(New)

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) happens when microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites) change over time and stop responding to medicines; this causes infections that are more difficult to treat and increases the risk of disease spreading, severe illness and death. This module looks at what a microbe is and explains how microbes can both help and harm the human body.

Frequently Asked Questions

Antimicrobial stewardship promotes the appropriate use of antibiotics and other antimicrobials to treat infections effectively while reducing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in UK healthcare.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microbes change and medicines become less effective. It can make infections harder to treat and is a major UK and global health concern.

The main types include antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals and antiparasitics. Each targets different types of microbes and infections.

Some infections, such as many viral infections, do not respond to antibiotics. Avoiding unnecessary antimicrobial use helps prevent antimicrobial resistance and protects future treatment options.

Healthcare workers can follow UK antimicrobial prescribing guidance, use antimicrobials only when appropriate, follow infection prevention measures and educate patients about responsible use.
