AMR reaches even the wildest places

Resistant bacteria and other microbes have been found in birds, fish and wild mammals even in remote natural areas. This shows how superbugs can move through ecosystems which can act as storages of resistance that may spill back into humans or other animals.

“We often view the wilderness as a closed system that is not linked to our own busy living within cities and human dwellings, as if these are separate circles of life coexisting, but never overlapping, especially in terms of health.
The depicted snow globe offers the illusion of this impenetrable system, a setting we can neither access nor change at first glance. However, once the globe is shaken, snowflakes will appear, and their whirlwind is influenced by an outside source that changes everything. The snow globe is cracked, to emphasize how these ecosystems are not, in fact, as separate as they seem.”
