Antibiotic Guardian Youth Badge

Antibiotics are special medicines that treat bacterial infections. However, bacteria are becoming resistant to our antibiotics making it harder than ever to treat infections. This is called antibiotic resistance.

The AGYB pack was developed to engage young people in the community on the issue of antibiotic resistance and motivate them to help to keep antibiotics working through reducing infections and using antibiotics responsibly.

The AGYB resource contains interactive activities for any youth group to get involved in, that educate children and young people on microbes, ways to prevent infection and the proper use of antibiotics.
