Queer(ing) Antimicrobial Stewardship

Abstract

Queer(ing) Antimicrobial Stewardship is a 5-page comic book that explores Dr Chase Ledin's ongoing research about antibiotic stewardship within sexual healthcare in the United Kingdom. The comic book tells the story of an individual who decides to use DoxyPEP as STI prevention and the individual, community, and societal implications of using this antibiotic. The comic book highlights key discourses within antibiotic resistance and stewardship narratives, and derives from interviews and focus groups with clinicians, health specialists, patients, and community members across England and Scotland.
