World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week

22 November 2024 | i3S, Auditorium Mariano Gago

Did you know that bacteria have grown stronger?

Every time we take an antibiotic, the infection-causing bacterium may develop resistance to said antibiotic. Many antimicrobial agents currently available no longer work, and 3 people perish from antimicrobial resistance-related complications every minute.

On this World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week - which also falls on Science & Technology Week (18-24 November) - i3S is presenting current challenges faced by the clinic and strategies to combat this daily threat.

Join this debate, learn more about the topic, and help promote responsible antimicrobian use.

 

This event is intended for the public at large.

Free entrance but registration is required.
