善用抗生素　響應抗生素關注日
訂於每年十一月十八日的「抗生素關注日」旨在公共衛生方面提倡善用抗生素，以提高公眾對這方面的認識，從而減低細菌耐藥性的威脅。
細菌耐藥性至今仍是全球公共衛生的主要挑戰，不但持續削弱抗生素的效能，亦使多重耐藥性細菌不斷出現。

Antibiotic Awareness Day calls for prudent use of antibiotics
Marked annually on November 18, Antibiotic Awareness Day is a public health initiative to enhance public awareness of the prudent use of antibiotics so as to prevent antimicrobial resistance, which has remained a major global public health challenge and threatens the continued effectiveness of antibiotics, as evidenced by the emergence of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs).
