Addressing health inequalities in infection and antimicrobial resistant infections: a UK-wide collaborative toolkit

Sexual orientation

Resources for addressing health inequalities in antimicrobial resistance based on sexual orientation.

These are factors that intersectional AMR research identifies as drivers of inequitable AMR exposure and outcomes.
