Control of Infection, Antibiotic Resistance and days of future

BACKGROUND-AND-OBJECTIVESAntibiotic resistance is currently one of the main global health challenges.to prevent the flood of deaths due to antibiotic resistance among patients,it is reasonable to prevent this disaster in the first place and for this achievement need to a cooperation between the patient,doctors,nurse and other medical-staff.MATERIALS-AND-METHODS:In this study by closely observing the patients' problems,several ways to reduce infection and antibiotic resistance are suggested.RESULTS-AND-DISCUSSION۱:Doctors should avoid prescribing antibiotics as much as possible. For this purpose,it is suggested that a unit be established in the hospital for explaining alternative methods and awareness and education about the prudent use of antibiotics to patients.۲:The correct division of patients in the hospital.for example, a patient with a fungal disease should not be admitted close to a diabetic patient with an infected wound, because fungal spores may spread through the air and make the diabetic patient's wound worse.۳:Separating patients who have a high risk of infection from others and preventing people from meeting the patient(meet the patient from behind the glass) .۴:Isolation of patients who have diseases that are transmitted through the air (such as measles) in special and closed rooms.۵:It is recommended that two nurses go to the patient's bed at the same time during any dressing change or drug injection or any sampling and touch or contact with the patient.۶:Cleaning and disinfection of the room and medical fluid, devices and air(suggested to give certain hours a day for this task and even take the patient to another room temporarily and sterilize the entire space of the room with UV-light.)۷:If the drug dose is prescribed incorrectly or the course of antibiotic use is completed incompletely,it is possible to enrich the resistant subspecies of bacteria and thus cause an increase in resistance.CONCLUSIONConsidering that Iran ranks second in antibiotic consumption in the world and the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance, it is time to act, not talk. I suggest that basic measures should be taken like the few suggestions mentioned above.
