Antimicrobial Resistance APPG

First Registered: 13/12/2023 • Last updated on: 12/02/2025

The APPG exist to raise the profile of antimicrobial resistance, the need to preserve antimicrobials (including antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitics) through education on their appropriate uses (including non-human uses), the lack of new treatments for infections and to help accelerate efforts to discover, research and develop new treatments.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
