[Antibiotic resistance : how to revisit a public health threat]

Antibiotic resistance is a global public health challenge that has prompted national campaigns and local awareness initiatives. In Geneva, a comic book was created to explain the basics of antibiotic resistance to children aged 8 and older from a One Health perspective. It was distributed to 40 % of public primary schools in the canton and accompanied by 57 classroom visits from an expert. 98 % of participating teachers believe that it is relevant to teach this topic in primary school, whose knowledge and understanding can contribute to establishing a culture of appropriate antibiotic use within a population though multipliers (teachers, pupils) and support primary care physicians in shared decision-making processes.
