________
During November, awareness-raising activities promoting the prudent use of antibiotics in communities and hospitals are taking place in Europe, the USA, Canada, and Australia. Many health-related and professional organisations have partnered with governmental organisations and agencies to prepare communications materials and plan activities targeting patients, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, academics, industrialists, scientists, farmers, veterinarians, and the general public. Here we offer a snapshot of common themes, goals, and activities planned as part of European Antibiotic Awareness Day (EAAD), US Get Smart About Antibiotics Week, Canadian Antibiotic Awareness Week (AAW), and Australian Antibiotic Awareness Week.
