"Do Bugs Need Drugs?" is a community and professional education program designed to address antibiotic resistance by decreasing the inappropriate use of antibiotics. Resources have been developed for physicians, pharmacists, nurses and the public, including children, their parents and caregivers, teachers, employers and workers, and long-term care facilities. There are four key strategies: consistent messaging (e.g., handwashing is the best way to stop the spread of infections); networking (through dedicated committee members who have engaged government ministries, professional organizations, health care organizations, academia, industry and businesses, and community groups); aligning interests (e.g., engaging nursing and medical students to deliver a program on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to Grade 2 students as part of their community health curriculum); and containing costs (e.g., partnering with other organizations for distribution of materials and sharing administrative and printing costs between the Do Bugs Need Drugs programs in Alberta and British Columbia). There is evidence now of an increased willingness in the scientific and medical community to discuss the risks associated with antibiotic use and of growing public awareness that AMR is linked to misuse and overuse of antibiotics.
“细菌需要药物吗？”是一个社区和专业教育项目，旨在通过减少抗生素的不当使用来应对抗生素耐药性问题。该项目已为医生、药剂师、护士以及公众开发了相关资源，其中包括儿童及其父母和照顾者、教师、雇主和工人，以及长期护理机构。该项目有四个关键策略：保持信息一致（例如，洗手是阻止感染传播的最佳方法）；建立网络（通过专门的委员会成员，他们与政府部门、专业组织、医疗保健组织、学术界、行业和企业以及社区团体进行了合作）；协调利益（例如，让护理和医学专业学生将抗菌药物耐药性项目纳入其社区健康课程，为二年级学生授课）；控制成本（例如，与其他组织合作分发材料，并在艾伯塔省和不列颠哥伦比亚省的“细菌需要药物吗？”项目之间分担行政和印刷成本）。现在有证据表明，科学界和医学界越来越愿意讨论抗生素使用的相关风险，公众也越来越意识到抗菌药物耐药性与抗生素的滥用和过度使用有关。
