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
