CDC’s AMR Exchange presents its second webinar exploring the global threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the urgent action needed to stop its spread. Join us Tuesday, August 24, 2021, at 10 a.m. ET to hear experts from CDC, The Ohio State University, and the University of Gothenburg working to track antimicrobial resistance in water and understand its impact on public health, while taking action to address this potential threat.
AMR germs and their genes can contaminate streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans from discharge that flows from hospitals, farms, or sewage systems. Even properly functioning wastewater treatment systems may not fully remove resistant germs and their genes. However, the magnitude of this risk to human health is still not fully understood.
This event is the second installment of CDC’s AMR Exchange, a new global webinar series launched in May to engage a broad group of partners, practitioners, and policymakers on AMR topics across One Health.
