    Patients and visitors fact sheet.

    Most germs that cause serious infections in healthcare are spread by people's actions.

    Know the truth to protect yourself from serious infections.

    Truth:

    • On average, healthcare providers clean their hands less than half of the times they should.

    • Alcohol-based hand sanitizer kills most of the bad germs that make you sick.

    • Alcohol-based hand sanitizer does not kill C. difficile.

    • Alcohol-based hand sanitizer does not create antibiotic-resistant superbugs.

    • Your hands can spread germs.
