5 min 48 sec. MedlinePlus, United States National Institutes of Health, Mar 14, 2018 "How do we stay safe from the growing epidemic of antibiotic resistant bacteria? NIAID is researching ways to keep us safe…. Chapters: 0:38 Antimicrobial resistance epidemiology. 1:02 Examples of resistant bacteria. 1:11 Tuberculosis. 1:31 Gonorrhea. 1:46 MRSA. 2:13 How does antimicrobial resistance occur? 3:25 What can you do to fight antimicrobial resistance? 4:32 Research at NIAID."
Agencia Española de Medicamentos y Productos Sanitarios (AEMPS), Nov 17, 2020. "Things should be used for what they’re meant to be used for, and if not, they may hurt you. Antibiotics treat infections caused by bacteria; they do NOT cure viruses like the flu or colds, or relieve pain or fever. To make sure they keep working, only use them with a prescription. Both in humans and in animals. Because NO, antibiotics CANNOT be used for everything. Government of Spain."
Agencia Española de Medicamentos y Productos Sanitarios (AEMPS), Nov 3, 2023. "They are specialists. And their job is to protect us. But if we ask them to do things they're not intended to do, they won’t be able to protect us when we need them, and we end up putting the health of people, animals and the environment at risk. Antibiotics: Their job is to protect us. Your job is to use them wisely. Government of Spain."
Singapore’s Health Promotion Board (HPB), Dec 15, 2022. "Actually, my strep throat doesn't hurt anymore. I'll just take one pill instead of two. Are you a doctor? Well, I feel better now. Misusing antibiotics can cause longer recovery time, and ineffective future treatments due to infections becoming antibiotic resistant. Remember, don't play doctor. Your friend, eh? Whoa, I need to share this."

"In this video explainer, Dr Diane Ashiru-Oredope PhD, Pharmacist Lead for Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and Stewardship and HCAI at the UK Health Security Agency, explains what AMR means and why it matters. What role do these microbes have on our planet? How do antimicrobials work? What are the origins of antimicrobial resistance and more importantly, what can you do to help reduce it? Chapters: 00:00 What are microbes? 00:35 Antimicrobials. 01:30 What is AMR? 03:02 How to reduce AMR"
Singapore’s Health Promotion Board (HPB), Nov 3, 2019. "[Music] I know you're down with the flu, and your work is piling up now. But trust me, I'm not the one. I'm not the one for you. I'm not the one you need to recover faster…. Everytime she goes 'achoo' and you want her to be well, now. But trust me, I'm not the one. [refrain] I know that cough annoys you, and I really want to help you, but I have no clue. [Refrain] [End music] Antibiotics will not help you recover faster from the flu, because they don't work on the flu virus. Check with your doctor on the treatment you need."

"From Tori, a college gymnast, who faced a once curable infection that escalated into a life-threatening crisis, to Kerry, battling relentless superbugs with numerous antibiotics after what seemed like a simple ear infection. Their experiences are not isolated incidents, as resistance to ordinary antibiotics is rising. Antimicrobial resistance is rapidly becoming one of the most severe global health crises, causing great concern throughout the scientific and medical communities. This documentary-style film sheds light on the alarming reality of this ticking time bomb and the efforts of doctors, scientists, and experts who are relentlessly working to safeguard the health and well-being of generations to come through ground-breaking research and innovative solutions."
