U.S. Antibiotics Awareness Week 2024 Fighting Antimicrobial Resistance
Takes All of Us

U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week (USAAW) is observed each year from November 18-24 to raise awareness of the importance of appropriate antibiotic and antifungal use and the threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). CDC’s theme for USAAW 2024 is “Fighting Antimicrobial Resistance Takes All of Us,” emphasizing a One Health approach that connects human, animal, plant, and environmental health. Together, we must improve global antibiotic and antifungal prescribing and use while investing in infection prevention across all these areas.
