Antibiotic Usage and Resistance Monitoring in England (AUR)

Antibiotic Usage and Resistance Monitoring in England (AUR) tracks how antibiotics are used and how bacteria respond to them. It helps health authorities understand patterns of antibiotic prescriptions and detect the emergence of resistant bacteria. This information guides policies to promote appropriate antibiotic use, preventing resistance that can make infections harder to treat. By monitoring trends over time and across regions, AUR supports efforts to safeguard the effectiveness of antibiotics for future generations.
