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.

In just the 8 months we have all been doctors, not a day has gone by where there isn't some consideration of antibiotics for our patients: if they should be given them, if they are on the correct regimen, how long they should take them for and so on. It is because of antibiotics that we are able to perform surgery, treat otherwise potentially lethal infections and prevent recurrence. However clever bacterial evolution means antibiotic resistance is on the rise and has the potential to be a global catastrophe. Antruk (Antibiotic research UK) is doing amazing research to fight antibiotic resistance and generate new therapies. Very few people will be unaffected if antibiotic resistance increases, so this is a crucially important area of research to support.

Plus we're running 26.2 miles so surely we deserve some kudos for that!

Thank you so much for reading and (hopefully) donating. We really appreciate it and so will all our patients in years to come!

Amy, John and Greta.
