We are 1 month away from CDC, other U.S. government agencies, and world leaders meeting to address the domestic & global threat of #AntimicrobialResistance at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) High-Level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance on Sept. 26. #UNGA79

Happy #NationalDogDay! Pets can be good for our health, but they can sometimes carry germs, including antimicrobial-resistant germs that can make us sick. Fight the spread of #AntimicrobialResistance and keep your pets and yourself healthy. Learn how: bit.ly/4di4Phu

Check out HHS_ASPE’s The FY22 Progress Report on the U.S. National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (CARB), which summarizes progress towards national targets in combating #AntimicrobialResistance in the U.S. bit.ly/3XdC7c1

HCPs play an essential role in stopping the spread of #AntimicrobialResistance. CDC's Project Firstline create resources to help healthcare leaders train their teams on how to recognize infection risk & prevent the spread of germs, including resistant germs. bit.ly/3X4TfkQ

The U.S. and East Asia Pacific partners are working to fight #AntiMicrobialResistance together. This week, CDC Global Health, MHLW of Japan, NIID, @HealthGovAU, 대한민국 질병관리청, Ministry of Health met to accelerate progress toward combatting AMR and prepare for #UNGA79.

HCPs: What does infection control mean to you, and how does it impact your approach to patient care? Your role is essential in preventing infections and slowing the spread of #AntimicrobialResistance. Learn how: bit.ly/3yeGXMb CDC's Project Firstline

What? @CDCglobal and East Asian partners are working to fight #AntiMicrobialResistance! Why? #AMR kills more than 1.27M people each year and is a #WHO top 10 global health threat. #UNGA79 is our chance to advance AMR commitments and reduce the spread of these bacteria.

#AntimicrobialResistance has been identified in all regions of the world and can spread rapidly. An antimicrobial-resistant threat somewhere can quickly become a threat anywhere. Discover how to keep yourself and others safe: bit.ly/3xMwjwj

DYK #AntimicrobialResistance (AR) can affect #Cancer care? In #CDCAMRExchange webinar, panelists discussed the importance of infection prevention & control efforts to stop the spread of AR & limit cancer patient exposure to antimicrobial-resistant germs: bit.ly/3yxzKY3

Take care of yourself & your family this #LaborDay. #DYK that keeping your hands clean is one of the best ways to prevent germs from spreading & helps to combat #AntimicrobialResistance? Learn more about how to protect yourself & your family: bit.ly/4c7Sgod

Germs, including antimicrobial-resistant germs, can be found in the environment & animal’s guts. When animals live next to land used for food production, these germs can spread to food. Learn more about the development & spread of #AntimicrobialResistance: bit.ly/3UJ6FAe

At #UNGA79 High-level Meeting on #AntimicrobialResistance (AR), global leaders will discuss improving lab capacity. CDC’s AR Lab Network shows strengthening capacity can help detect threats & support rapid response to slow AR spread & protect people. bit.ly/4bc1wrk

HCPs: Anyone can develop #sepsis, including children. ✔️ Talk with parents about sepsis signs and symptoms. ✔️ Prescribe antibiotics & antifungals appropriately to help combat #AntimicrobialResistance. Learn more: bit.ly/3Xi3Vea #SAM2024

The #UNGA79 High-level Meeting on #AntimicrobialResistance is in 3 weeks. #CDC fights antimicrobial-resistant threats through the AR Lab Network, which strengthens capacity to rapidly detect dangerous pathogens & inform local responses to protect people: bit.ly/476GXuW

Fungal Disease Awareness Week is September 16-20. Each day will highlight a different fungal disease topic. For #FungalWeek24, raise awareness to help protect people, plants, and animals from the growing impact of fungal diseases. bit.ly/4dyCy6u

We have come a long way in our fight against #AntimicrobialResistance (AR) but more action is needed to help slow the spread in health care & the community. Check out how CDC is paving the way for #UNGA79 through our investments to combat AR: bit.ly/3Sg3mQr

CDC experts just published The Lancet comment emphasizing the threat #AntimicrobialResistance poses & highlighting #UNGA79 High-level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance as an opportunity for global leaders to commit to shared action. bit.ly/3zoAxuN

U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week is November 18-24. Raise awareness of how preventing infections and using antibiotics and antifungals appropriately can slow the spread of #AntimicrobialResistance and protect people, animals, and the environment. bit.ly/4dvG95u #USAAW24

As #AntimicrobialResistance (AR) spreads, infections are becoming more difficult to treat. Improving the way HCPs prescribe #antibiotics & the way we take them helps keep us healthy now, helps fight AR and ensures that these lifesaving drugs will work when they are needed most.

Fungal Disease Awareness Week is next week! CDC is cohosting webinars with different partners each day and providing a partner social media toolkit for #FungalWeek24. Learn why it is important to raise awareness: bit.ly/4dyCy6u
