Infection control faces evolving challenges, including antimicrobial resistance and healthcare worker safety. Addressing these requires updated surveillance, improved hygiene, and robust public health systems globally.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Epidemiology
  • Infectious Disease Prevention
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The third millennium presents significant shifts in infection control practices.
  • Existing challenges persist, alongside emerging threats to healthcare settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review unresolved issues in infection control.
  • To identify and discuss new challenges in preventing and managing infections.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current infection control problems.
  • Analysis of emerging threats and future challenges in infection control.

Main Results:

  • Key unresolved issues include surveillance systems, hospital outbreaks, hand hygiene, pathogen reservoirs, quality improvement, Gram-negative bacteremias, laboratory roles, multi-resistant pathogens, healthcare worker risks, and guideline adherence.
