How Can Antibiotic Resistance Be Managed in Cancer Care?
Managing antibiotic resistance in cancer care involves several strategies:
Antibiotic Stewardship: Implementing programs to ensure the appropriate use of antibiotics, including the selection of the right antibiotic, dose, and duration of treatment. Infection Control: Strict adherence to infection control practices such as hand hygiene, sterilization of medical equipment, and isolation of infected patients. Surveillance: Monitoring and tracking antibiotic-resistant infections to identify outbreaks and inform treatment strategies. Research and Development: Investing in the development of new antibiotics and alternative treatments to combat resistant bacteria.
