Key Messages (Australian Commission for Safety and Quality in Healthcare)

• Antibiotics are a precious resource that could be lost.
• Antibiotic resistance is happening now – it is a worldwide problem that affects human and animal health.
• Antibiotic resistance happens when bacteria stops an antibiotic from working effectively – meaning some infections may be impossible to treat.
• Few new antibiotics are being developed to help solve this problem.
• Misuse of antibiotics contributes to antibiotic resistance.
• Whenever antibiotics must be used, they must be used with care.
