Everyone has a role to play in combating antibiotic resistance.

Here are some easy steps you can take to make a difference:

  • Only take antibiotics when you need them. Never demand an antibiotic from your doctor for you or your child.
     
  • When possible, only buy meat and poultry products sold by companies with responsible antibiotic use policies. Look for labels that say organic, raised without antibiotics and no antibiotics ever. Learn more.

Check out the resources below to learn more about what to look for when you are shopping for meat and poultry raised with responsible antibiotic use.

Have you or a loved one ever been personally affected by an antibiotic resistant infection?

Are you a doctor, nurse, or health care provider helping patients understand when they need an antibiotic and when they don't?

Are you a chef or food service provider committed to sourcing meat and poultry raised with no or limited antibiotic use?

Are you a parent or family member who wants to ensure antibiotics work for generations to come?

Are you a farmer committed to using antibiotics responsibly (or not at all)? 

Take a moment and tell us your story!
