About This Webinar
Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are the leading cause of antibiotic overuse in humans. They normally start as viral infections but may develop into bacterial superinfections like otitis media in children or the feared pneumonia in the elderly. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics have led to a global crisis of microbial resistance.

Solutions are urgently needed. One such solution might be Echinacea as it acts as a natural antiviral and supports the immune system.

During the Antibiotic Awareness Week, we want to scrutinize the potential of Echinacea in finally reducing the need for antibiotics.
