The good news?

Nearly half of cancers in men are connected to risk factors we can change.

Andi Biotic (Team UKHSA) and Bryn Biotig (Team Public Health Wales) are tackling antimicrobial resistance together at the Antibiotix Nations.

🏟️🙌Here's what the fans are chanting on the stands:
💊🎵 Don’t take them for colds or flu
💊🎵 Don’t save them for later
💊🎵Take as directed

Andi is green and wearing a red Wales rugby shirt; Bryn is red and wearing a white England rugby shirt. The headline reads: ‘Andi and Bryn team up to thrash bacteria in Antibiotix Nations.’ Text below says: ‘Andi Biotic and Bryn Biotig have teamed up to remind everyone that antibiotics only beat bacterial infections, not viral ones.’

MRSA = Methicillin‑resistant Staphylococcus aureus. 📖🔡

Staphylococcus (staph) are the bacteria behind common infections like impetigo, conjunctivitis and boils.

One strain has evolved into MRSA, a well known example of the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance.

#AMR
Graphic with a pink‑to‑orange gradient background. Text reads: 'Did you know? MRSA is a strain of Staphylococcus aureus that is resistant to many common antibiotics, so it can be difficult to treat.' A small crown icon appears at the top and a simple bacteria‑shaped line illustration is in the bottom right corner

⚠️ Burkholderia found in certain wipes.

Burkholderia are bacteria that rarely cause harm in healthy people but sometimes cause serious infections, particularly for those with certain medical conditions or managing IV lines at home:

https://bit.ly/3Hhq4W4

Public safety notice showing four types of alcohol‑free cleansing wipes: ValueAid Alcohol Free Cleansing Wipes, Steroplast Sterowipe Alcohol Free Cleansing Wipes, Reliwipe Alcohol-Free Cleansing Wipes, and Microsafe Moist Wipe Alcohol Free. The message states: ‘If you own any of these wipes, we remind you to stop using them.’ A note at the bottom reads: ‘These products should not be used, please check your first aid kits and if you find any dispose of them.

Lung cancer.
Stomach cancer.
Cervical cancer.

Together, these three make up nearly half of all cancers caused by preventable risks.

The power to prevent them is already in our hands.
