This infographic explains how antibiotic resistance spreads in animal farming, in the community, in healthcare facilities and through travel. The infographic has been translated into all official EU/EEA languages and is part of the ECDC effort to support national campaigns on prudent antibiotic use.

In case you would like to modify the infographic, please note that you will need to install the Font package (Meta Pro) before opening the Illustrator or InDesign file. Do not open the .ai file without having the fonts installed first.

If you modify the file and install the font, ECDC requires that you de-install the font after finishing the modification since ECDC is not allowed to grant a license for the font.

We would appreciate that graphic elements are not added, with the exception of additional logos. Please do not change colours, spacing, arrangement or font size (if not absolutely necessary). ECDC is happy to double check modifications.

Finally, please state ECDC as the source of this infographic.
