🚨Drug-resistant bacteria are becoming more dangerous.

Life-saving antibiotics are losing effectiveness, increasing infection risks & limiting treatment options.

Some resistant infections can only be treated with antibiotics that are costly, difficult to access, & often unavailable 👉 bit.ly/438Ta1u

Infographic images of various antibiotic pills. The text reads:
“Common infections now often require stronger, more expensive antibiotics.
In 2023:
1 in 3 urinary tract infections
1 in 15 gastrointestinal infections
1 in 6 bloodstream infections
…were resistant to antibiotics.”

The design uses orange and black text on a light blue background with pill icons illustrating the statistics.
