Tungkol sa ebook na ito

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are an increasing threat, fueled by antibiotic resistance. Healthcare and Resistance addresses this urgent issue, exploring the mechanisms behind resistance, the epidemiology of HAIs, and strategies for prevention. Understanding bacterial evolution and its impact is paramount, as the book details how pathogens evade antimicrobial drugs. The rise in resistant infections poses a significant risk to modern medicine, with overuse of antibiotics contributing to the problem. The book takes a comprehensive approach, integrating science, medicine, and public health to combat resistant infections.

Beginning with the microbiology of resistance, it moves to an epidemiological analysis of HAIs, drawing from surveillance programs. A significant portion explores infection control strategies, including hand hygiene and antimicrobial stewardship, providing practical examples.

The book emphasizes the need for improved infection control practices, especially given factors like increased global travel and an aging population. Ultimately, Healthcare and Resistance provides a practical guide for a broad audience, from healthcare professionals to policymakers. It uses evidence-based strategies from peer-reviewed publications and government reports to highlight successful interventions in diverse healthcare settings.

The book concludes with a forward-looking perspective on emerging technologies, novel therapeutic approaches, and the ethical and economic implications of different strategies to combat resistant infections.
