Prevention and management of resistant Gram positive bacterial infections in cancer patients involve multiple strategies:
Infection Control Practices: Rigorous hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment, and isolation of infected patients can prevent the spread of resistant bacteria. Antibiotic Stewardship: Judicious use of antibiotics can prevent the emergence of resistance. This includes selecting appropriate antibiotics and limiting their use to necessary cases. Regular Screening: Screening for resistant bacteria can help in early detection and containment of infections. Prophylactic Antibiotics: In some high-risk cases, preventive antibiotics may be administered to avert potential infections.
