Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance is a common iatrogenic complication of modern healthcare. Gram-negative organisms pose the biggest challenge to healthcare today, predominantly due to lack of effective therapeutic options. Containing the spread of these organisms is challenging, and in reality, the application of multiple control measures during an evolving outbreak or while high endemic rates are recorded, makes it difficult to measure the relative impact of each measure. This chapter will review the utility of various infection control measures in containing the spread of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli.
