Resistant bacteria spread through healthcare facilities and communities
#00367
Patients and communities are exposed to resistant bacteria through preventable transmission, particularly where infection prevention, sanitation, isolation, and outbreak coordination are weak.
#00379Expand safe water, sanitation and hygiene to reduce infections and antibiotic demand
Provide reliable drinking water, sanitation, sewage treatment and handwashing infrastructure to interrupt infection transmission and reduce the need for antibiotics.
#00377Implement coordinated infection-control and outbreak-containment bundles
Combine hand hygiene, environmental cleaning, screening, isolation or cohorting, transfer alerts and central outbreak oversight to stop resistant bacteria spreading between patients and facilities.
#00378Expand vaccines that prevent infections and antibiotic demand
Increase coverage of existing vaccines (pneumococcal, Hib, influenza, rotavirus, typhoid) and develop new vaccines against high-burden bacterial pathogens to prevent resistant infections and cut antibiotic demand.
