U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week

Improve Antibiotic Use, Improve Health Equity

Individuals, organizations, and communities are invited to participate in U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week November 18-24, 2023, helping to raise awareness of the  importance of addressing antibiotic and antifungal use, preventing infections in the first place, and combating antimicrobial resistance to help address health inequities.

Health inequities resulting from less-than-optimal antibiotic or antifungal prescribing practices may impact health outcomes, resulting in an increase in antimicrobial resistance or antibiotic- or antifungal-associated adverse events in some populations.
