Combating Antibiotic Resistance- Infection Prevention and Control

About

Resistant germs can spread between people, animals, and the environment, and can cause deadly infections. Stopping spread protects people and helps slow development of resistance. Infections with resistant germs can be deadly or difficult to treat, with treatments that often requiring costly and toxic alternatives. To save lives and combat antibiotic resistance, we must improve quality and consistency of infection control nationwide; find and respond to resistance early, containing it before it becomes common; enhance and develop products that improve hygiene; prevent infections and keep germs from spreading; and increase education and awareness around infection prevention and control.
