World AMR Awareness Week 2023 - schülke raises awareness about antimicrobial resistance

November 18-24 is World AMR Awareness Week. The campaign week draws attention to the dangers of antimicrobial resistance. schülke products for infection prevention also make an essential contribution to protection against bacterial pathogens.

The motto of this year's World AMR Awareness Week is once again: "Preventing antimicrobial resistance together." The action week is proclaimed every year by the World Health Organization (WHO). Even today, in the age of modern medicine, bacterial infectious diseases are still a major source of danger for people worldwide. Researchers are constantly finding new ways to temporarily disable the pathogens. However, microorganisms are at least as adept at developing resistance to available antibiotics. This is another reason why schülke follows the principle of "prevention beats infection". Our products for disinfection and infection prevention protect lives worldwide.

After all, the best protection is not to become infected in the first place. schülke is committed to raising awareness of the dangers posed by antimicrobial resistance. One of the main reasons for the development of antimicrobial resistance is the increased use of antibiotics. A study [1] shows how serious the problem is for people worldwide: According to this study, almost 5 million deaths each year are due to bacterial infections. At least 1.27 million of these are directly linked to antimicrobial resistance. The G7 countries have therefore issued an urgent call for action.
