[Importance of Hygiene for the Prevention of Antimicrobial Resistance]
Abstract:
In addition to antibiotic stewardship, infection prevention and control (IPC) measures at the hospital are crucial for containing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Nosocomial infections can be prevented through the consistent application of recommended IPC measures. This reduces the use of antibiotics and therefore the development of AMR. In this way, antibiotic stewardship and IPC go hand in hand.
