THE CONTAINMENT STRATEGY
The containment strategy is cyclical and includes:
• Rapid Identification: Health care facilities, health departments, and CDC are ON ALERT for unusual antibiotic resistance.
• Infection Control Assessments
• Colonization Screenings
• Coordinated Response Between Facilities
• Continued Assessment & Screenings
Public health teams nationwide can launch early, aggressive responses to contain spread and protect people—at the first sign of unusual antibiotic resistance, every time.
