U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week

U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week (USAAW), every November 18-24, raises awareness of the importance of appropriate antibiotic and antifungal use and the threat antimicrobial resistance (AR) poses to people, animal, plants, and their shared environment. CDC’s theme for USAAW 2025 is Fighting Antimicrobial Resistance Take All of Us. CDC champions using a One Health approach to fight antimicrobial resistance, recognizing the health of people closely connects to the health of animals, plants, and their shared environment (for example soil and water). Each day during USAAW, CDC will focus on a different theme and a variety of resources are available below to help you participate.
