About Antibiotic Research UK Antibiotic Research UK was established in 2014 to tackle the global threat of drug-resistant infections. If the world does not act now, the number of deaths is predicted to rise to 10 million by 2050. Our vision is a world free from drug-resistant infections.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I really wanted to run for this charity. They are small but mighty! 💪🏻 I had never heard of them before until I was looking for a charity to support. Personally I think now is even more important for the work and research they do. Our mind , bodies & soul are unique to us. Let’s keep it healthy and safe! ❤️ 

For some background information the charity was set up in 2014 by Professor Colin Garner to tackle antibiotic resistance. They fund research into new antibiotic therapies they look for alternatives and also research into breakers which can be given alongside existing antibiotics https://www.antibioticresearch.org.uk/research/ 

They also fund education to teach people about appropriate use of antibiotics to slow down the rate of resistance. And finally they support patients with antibiotic resistant infections through our patient support team. Many people with resistant infections find they have no-one to speak to as it's such a misunderstood problem. There patient support officer and chronic infection facebook group provide advice and support for people. You can read about some of the people affected here: https://www.antibioticresearch.org.uk/research/
