Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health crisis - but there
are things we can all do to help. This short video explains how using probiotics instead of harsh antimicrobials in pet care and cleaning helps to reduce AMR and protect vital 'good' bacteria.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most urgent health threats facing the modern world. It occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites evolve to resist the medicines designed to kill them. As a result, treatments stop working and resistant infections like MRSA can spread uncontrollably.
Everyday actions, including the overuse of antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning products, are accelerating the AMR crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic made things even worse, with increased use of biocides, disinfectants, and broad-spectrum antibiotics.
The good news? We can act today—and probiotics are part of the solution.
Probiotics work mechanically by outcompeting harmful bacteria, without creating resistance. By swapping chemical-laden cleaners and pet care products for probiotic alternatives - like those in the Provilan range - you can support a healthier microbiome and reduce the need for antibiotics over time.
These sustainable swaps are easy to implement and offer lasting benefits for you, your pets, and the planet.
Note: EVAA+, DENAA+ and DENAA+ Fitness have been combined into one expanded, versatile and pet-safe probiotic cleaning range, Provilan Clean.
