Microbial literacy isn't just about knowing what microbes are. It's about learning to understand complexity, question assumptions, & evaluate evidence. Could learning about microbes help us become better critical thinkers?

It’s International Microorganism Day! For a third year running, some of our Champions have told us about their favourite microbes and our very talented Champion, Eliza Wolfson, has brought these to life with her illustrations!
@eliza_coli @FEMSmicro
ALT An introductory image: swipe to see our Champions’ favourite microbes
ALT Noratikah Othman (International Islamic University Malaysia, Malaysia): “Vibrio fischeri is my favourite microbe because its natural bioluminescence erases the Hawaiian bobtail squid's shadow, perfectly camouflaging it from ocean predators.”
ALT Nahdhoit Ahamada Rachid (Comoros University, Comoros): “Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is my favourite microbe; a tiny predator that carried me through my PhD and now points the way to a natural alternative to toxic biocides.”
ALT Bisekha Jaiswal (Group for Technical Assistance (GTA) Foundation, Nepal): “Brucella melitensis survives and multiplies inside immune cells, making brucellosis difficult to diagnose, and highlighting the close connection between animal and human health.”

What if antibiotic literacy began in the classroom? In Armamar, Portugal, primary-school children are learning not just how antibiotics should be used, but the microbiology behind why it matters.
