Description:

AR LAB NETWORK

1 in 4 bacteria tested was positive:

• 25% of the germs had special genes that allow them to spread their resistance to other germs. In response, many investigations were conducted and screening tests were performed.

1 in 10 screening tests was positive:

• If left undetected, patients without symptoms could continue spreading rare, hard-to-treat germs in the health care facility.

ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE CAN SPREAD

• From people with and without symptoms of infection

• Between facilities

• Between germs
