About the website

This site www.superbugtour.eu has been put together by The European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) as part of a campaign launched together with member organisations from 13 countries. It aims to raise consumers’ awareness on antibiotic resistance from farm animals by showing the journey of a superbug across the participating members’ countries.
