How Can the Spread of Beta Lactamase-Producing Bacteria Be Controlled?
Controlling the spread of these resistant bacteria involves multiple strategies:
1. Infection Control Measures: Hospitals and healthcare settings must implement strict infection control practices, including hand hygiene and isolation protocols. 2. Antibiotic Stewardship: Rational use of antibiotics to minimize the selection pressure that leads to the emergence of resistant strains. 3. Surveillance: Continuous monitoring and surveillance to detect and respond to outbreaks promptly.
