Our collaborations with government agencies

Department of Health

Public Health England (PHE)
Public Health England (PHE) works closely with The Bella Moss Foundation to educate pet owners and carers about antibiotic resistance in animals.

Many people do not realise that animals, like humans, can be infected by antibiotic resistant bugs, such as MRSA and even urinary tract infections. On some occasions these infections can pass between humans and animals. It is important to educate the public about how transmission of these bugs can occur and how to minimise any risk, for example by practicing careful hand hygiene at all times.

PHE leads on Antibiotic Guardian, a one health campaign encouraging healthcare professionals and the public; including pet owners, farmers and veterinarians to make a pledge about a simple personal action they can take to safeguard our antibiotics.
