Resistance Revealed: The Hidden Truth in Everyday Bacteria

Interactive exhibition: Antibiotic resistance isn’t distant – it quietly resides around us. When does it become a problem?

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is not a distant medical problem. Discover that resistance genes are a natural and widespread part of our everyday environment—from soil and water to the microbes on our bodies.
