#AHRQ is focusing on funding opportunities to study Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) and combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria (CARB) this #AntibioticAwarenessWeek. Researchers are invited to apply for grants to advance innovations in infection prevention and antibiotic stewardship. Together, we can reduce resistance and improve patient safety. https://lnkd.in/d2zd-TU

Studies taking place for over 5 years in hospitals in Belgium, Italy, and Germany resulted in: 🛡️ 52% reduction in hospital-acquired infections. 🦠 99.9% reduction in antimicrobial resistance genes. “Switching to synbiotic cleaning was one of the most impactful decisions we’ve made. The reduction in infections speaks for itself.” – Head of Infection Control This means safer surfaces for staff and patients in hospitals using human-friendly products that require fewer chemicals.🌍🧴 #SynbioRevolution #InfectionControl #HealthcareInnovation #SaferHospitals #EcoFriendlyCleaning

🦠 A Powerful Ally Against Drug-Resistant Bacteria We saw a few news reports on tv about developing new antibiotics for drug-resistant bacteria over the weekend. Instead of developing more antibiotics, why not choose copper! Copper provides a natural defense by actively killing harmful bacteria within 2 hours of contact. This makes copper an essential part of infection prevention strategies in healthcare settings.

New Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data show #AMR pathogens typically found in healthcare settings remain high post-COVID pandemic compared with 2019. "We can and must do more to combat antimicrobial resistance by investing in the prevention-focused public health actions that we know work, including effective infection prevention and control, accurate laboratory detection, rapid response, appropriate antibiotic and antifungal use and innovative prevention strategies."

"Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a silent pandemic threatening our future. This World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (18-24 November), let’s unite to spread awareness, promote rational use of antibiotics, and prioritize infection prevention. Together, we can preserve the effectiveness of lifesaving medicines for generations to come. #AntimicrobialResistance #WAAW2024 #FightAMR #HealthForAll"

TC Presents Abstraction Notes: UVC Disinfection - The Game-Changer Healthcare Needs When it comes to emerging threats like Candida auris, conventional solutions often fall short. That’s why technologies like UVC disinfection are capturing attention. As Garrett Hollembeak and Elliot Kreitenberg from Dimer shared on Transmission Control Presents: Abstraction Notes, UVC disinfection is a proven powerhouse—effective against every known pathogen. The message is clear: if we want to stay ahead of resistant threats, we need to embrace innovative tools that guarantee safer environments for patients and healthcare teams. Ready to learn more about how UVC is shaping the future of infection prevention? Let’s connect. #InfectionPrevention #UVCDisinfection #InnovationInHealthcare #PatientSafety

👩⚕️👨⚕️ The Vital Role of Healthcare Professionals in Combating AMR 👨⚕️👩⚕️ Good morning LinkedIn Family😊 Healthcare professionals are on the front lines in the battle against Antimicrobial Resistance (#AMR). By judicious prescribing practices, educating patients about the importance of completing prescribed drugs, and promoting infection prevention measures, we can significantly reduce the spread of resistant infections. Let’s empower ourselves and our colleagues to be champions of Antimicrobial Stewardship (#AMS)! Together let's advocate, educate and act now to fight against AMR.
