#DYK: Inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics for patients with common infections resulted in: 💰 $74 million in excess health care costs for children. 💰 Nearly $69 million in excess health care costs for adults. #USAAW24 pew.org/3O8h7OJ

It's day 2 of World Health Organization (WHO) World #AntimicrobialAwarenessWeek #WAAW: How does #AntimicrobialResistance (#AMR) spread between bacteria? Let’s explore how #plasmids, tiny DNA molecules, can transfer resistance genes across bacteria—even different species in some cases! 🧵👇

ESR is doing some great work raising awareness of how antibiotic resistance can spread between bacteria!! Check them out! #AntimicrobialResistance
