The site educates visitors about antibiotic resistance by going back to the basics of the human immune system and how we get ill, and explaining microbes. Other factsheets explain when antibiotics are needed, and how to prevent resistance from developing through overuse.

It also investigates the risks involved in stockpiling antibiotics to safeguard against bioterrorism and explains the use of antibiotics in animal farming.
