In total, 50 healthcare facilities completed a survey in 2021 to characterize changes in infection prevention and control and antibiotic stewardship practices. Notable findings include sustained surveillance for multidrug-resistant organisms but decreased use of human resource-intensive interventions compared to previous surveys in 2013 and 2018 conducted prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
总共有 50 家医疗机构在 2021 年完成了一项调查,以描述感染预防和控制以及抗生素管理实践的变化。值得注意的发现包括对多药耐药菌的持续监测,但与 COVID-19 大流行之前 2013 年和 2018 年进行的先前调查相比,人力密集型干预措施的使用减少。
