Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and sepsis have been the subject of increasing media focus. Reporting of these issues in UK newspapers contains potentially conflicting messages about antibiotic use. Articles about sepsis frequently document its impact using personal narratives that rarely feature in articles about AMR. Few articles balance messages about early antibiotic treatment in sepsis with the need to reduce unnecessary prescribing.
