The e-Bug program delivered educational resources on microbes and antibiotic stewardship to all English schools. This initiative reached 20,500 schools, promoting responsible antibiotic use.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology education
  • Public health initiatives

Background:

  • Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health concern.
  • Educational interventions are crucial for promoting prudent antibiotic use among young people.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the dissemination and reach of the e-Bug educational resource in English schools.
  • To support the Department of Health's objectives for antibiotic stewardship.

Main Methods:

  • Coordinated implementation involving the e-Bug team, Department of Health, and Department for Children, Schools and Families.
  • Distribution of Junior and Senior e-Bug packs to maintained schools across England.

Main Results:

  • 20,500 e-Bug packs were disseminated to all maintained schools in England in 2010.
