Minimising AMR is an initiative of CSIRO and partners. Visit www.amr-action.au for information on how we can mitigate the impact of antimicrobial resistance in Australia and beyond. https://bsky.app/profile/minimisingamr.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/minimisingamr.bsky.social/post/3lu5cym737c2y#AMR isn’t just a human health issue—it’s impacting Aussie wildlife too. 🐨🦅 Resistant bacteria are found in species like koalas, linked to human activity.

While the world tries to curb antibiotic overuse, a parallel tragedy plays out quietly in poorer nations: people dying from treatable infections because the right drugs are out of reach."
