美国抗生素意识周11月18日至24日举行：疾控中心主题「抗击耐药性需要我们所有人」
11月18日至24日，美国将迎来一年一度的「美国抗生素意识周」（U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week，简称USAAW）。这一由美国疾控中心（CDC）主导的全国宣传，旨在提醒公众与医务人员：抗生素是宝贵的医疗资源，用得不对，细菌就会产生耐药性，最终让感染无药可治。疾控中心为今年定下的主题是「抗击抗菌药物耐药性需要我们所有人」（Fighting Antimicrobial Resistance Takes All of Us）。
抗菌药物耐药性被疾控中心列为最紧迫的公共卫生威胁之一。按疾控中心的估计，美国每年发生超过280万例抗菌药物耐药感染，3.5万多人因此死亡。感冒、流感等病毒性疾病使用抗生素无效，却仍是不当处方的常见来源；每一次不必要的用药，都在为耐药菌的筛选与传播添力。
意识周期间，疾控中心按「同一健康」（One Health）的思路组织宣传：人类健康、动物健康与环境健康彼此相连，抗生素的使用与耐药问题横跨医疗、农业与环境领域。今年的美国意识周与世界卫生组织牵头的世界抗菌药物耐药性意识周（WAAW）同期举行，世卫组织2026年的全球主题是「同一健康，同一行动：立即预防耐药性」。
各州卫生部门也在同步行动。以明尼苏达州卫生厅为例，该厅已更新其意识周专页（10月28日更新），并将在11月18日与19日中午各举办一场线上讲座，面向医务人员与公众讲解合理用药与耐药防控。
疾控中心提醒公众：不要向医生索要不必要的抗生素；按医嘱完成疗程、不自行停药或加量；不与他人分享抗生素，也不服用他人剩余的药；勤洗手、按时接种疫苗，从源头减少感染发生。医生一方的规范处方与患者一方的正确用药，同样不可或缺——这正是今年主题所说的「需要我们所有人」。

U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week Set for November 18-24: CDC Theme Is 'Fighting Antimicrobial Resistance Takes All of Us'
U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week (USAAW) will be observed from November 18 to 24. Led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the annual observance focuses attention on a simple fact of modern medicine: antibiotics only keep working if they are used correctly, because misuse breeds drug-resistant bacteria that can leave infections untreatable. CDC's theme for this year's week is 'Fighting Antimicrobial Resistance Takes All of Us.'
Antimicrobial resistance ranks among CDC's most urgent public health threats. The agency estimates that more than 2.8 million antimicrobial-resistant infections occur in the United States each year, and more than 35,000 people die as a result. Antibiotics do nothing against viral illnesses such as colds and flu, yet those remain a common source of unnecessary prescriptions — and every unneeded course helps select for and spread resistant bacteria.
The week is organized around a One Health message: the health of people, animals and the shared environment is interconnected, and antibiotic use and resistance span clinics, farms and ecosystems alike. The U.S. observance runs in parallel with World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week, led by the World Health Organization, whose global theme for 2026 is 'One Health, one action: Prevent AMR now.'
State health agencies are joining in. The Minnesota Department of Health, for example, has updated its USAAW page (last updated October 28) and will host midday webinars on November 18 and 19 for clinicians and the public on improving antibiotic use.
CDC's advice to the public is straightforward: do not pressure a clinician for antibiotics you may not need; take prescribed antibiotics exactly as directed and finish the course; never share antibiotics or take someone else's leftovers; and wash hands and stay up to date on vaccines to prevent infections in the first place. Careful prescribing on one side and correct use on the other — that, CDC says, is what 'takes all of us' means.
