Microorganisms: bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites evolve and resist the effects of antimicrobial medicines, making infections harder to treat. This resistance occurs naturally, but is accelerated by:
○ Misuse of antimicrobials.
○ Poor infection prevention practices.
○ Lack of new antimicrobial drug development.
Please help us provide free education for people who own pets and veterinary clients on basic hygiene and the safe use of prescribed antibiotics.
The Bella Moss Foundation is a charity which promotes prudent antimicrobial use and hygiene in human and veterinary medicine. It was set up in 2005 by Jill Moss, following the death of her dog Bella from a MRSA infection. It has developed into an international champion of good practice, linking patients and veterinary clients with best practice resources and access to good advice.
The Foundation offers informed support on the management of resistant bacteria and resulting infections for:
● Owners of pets with resistant infections.
● Vets and veterinary nurses.
● Doctors, nurses and pharmacists.
The aim of the foundation is to save lives through education by means of leaflets, posters, videos, and other media which promote the responsible use of antibiotics in the management of resistant bacteria. We do this by collaborating with the public, major veterinary and human health academic institutions, government departments and leading researchers around the world, many of whom are part of the One Health Initiative. The One Health Initiative is a collaborative, multi-sectoral approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health.
All Bella Moss Foundation resources are developed and produced by volunteer veterinary professionals and scientists.
We urgently need help updating our I.T. resources so we can continue with our vital work. Such resources are crucial for the provision of free education and outreach.
Your donation helps prevent unnecessary deaths. It contributes to resources for veterinary and healthcare professionals.
