Share of Italians getting information on unnecessary use of antibiotics 2022
Antibiotics are medications that can kill or hinder the growth of bacteria which cause infection in people and animals. Antibiotic resistance occurs when there is a mutation in the bacteria's genes, however excessive use of antibiotics can also lead to the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria. In 2022, a survey on antimicrobial resistance revealed that ** percent of respondents in Italy did not remember receiving any information about unnecessary consumption of antibiotics in the previous 12 months. This statistic displays the share of individuals who received information in the previous 12 months about not taking antibiotics unnecessarily, for example for a cold or the flu in Italy, as of 2022.
