U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week (Nov 18–24) reminds us that appropriate antibiotic and antifungal use is essential to protecting the health of people, animals, plants, and our shared environment.

This year’s theme — “Fighting Antimicrobial Resistance Takes All of Us” — underscores how interconnected our health truly is. By working together to improve prescribing and strengthen infection prevention across all settings, we can help slow the spread of antimicrobial resistance worldwide.

After a successful inaugural Scientific Symposium last year, we’re keeping up the momentum in 2025 with another educational event on all things C. diff. This virtual event will allow clinicians, scientists, nurses, pharmacists, and industry to intermingle and update each other during C. diff Awareness Month. The Symposium will also feature testimonials from C. diff patients and survivors.

Acurx Pharmaceuticals is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing a new class of antibiotics for infections caused by bacteria listed as priority pathogens by the WHO, CDC, and FDA. Their C. diff treatment, Ibezapolstat, finished Phase 2 clinical trials showing promising results. You can learn more about Ibezapolstat and hear from the Acurx team at our Inaugural Scientific Symposium on November 21.
