Africa: Superbugs On Your Plate - How Antimicrobial Resistance Spreads Through Food: [The Conversation Africa] From the moment raw ingredients are harvested to when you cook and eat a meal, an invisible process is taking place: the growth of antimicrobial resistance. This happens when microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and so on) stop responding to antibiotics or disinfectants. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TRqcHX #AntimicrobialResistance #Superbugs #FoodSafety #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth

“Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest health threats we face,” said the UKHSA’s chief, Susan Hopkins. “More people than ever are acquiring infections that cannot be effectively treated by antibiotics. This puts them at greater risk of serious illness and even death, with our poorest communities hit the hardest.”
